F.P.Journe Centigraphe Souverain Ref. CT Rose Gold Salmon Dial

The F.P. Journe Centigraphe Souverain Ref. CT in 18k rose gold with a salmon dial is a standout among modern independents. Its 40 mm case houses a manually wound chronograph movement distinguished by its ability to measure elapsed times down to a hundredth of a second across three registers. What makes it particularly ingenious is the rocker-style chronograph control in the case band—which activates, stops, and resets the chronograph—ensuring that the timing mechanism remains isolated from the timekeeping train. 

Visually, the salmon-colored dial is both elegant and bold—its warm tone beautifully contrasted by crisp subdial scales and blued-steel hands. The case finishing, proportions, and Journe’s “Invenit et Fecit” ethos imbue it with both presence and technical pedigree. Given its complexity, limited production, and unique chronograph engineering, this reference ranks highly among collectors seeking independent expressions that combine artistic detail and mechanical daring.
