The rose gold case with 18k gold movement was produced for perhaps just a year, and is much rarer than its white metal brothers with brass or ruthenium organs. It is also one of the first few Octas with the solid cloudy gold dials, similar to the newer dials made of gold that were released by Montres Journe in 2014. You can see the textured dials made of gold in 2 close up images.Case measures 38mm, and is 9mm thick. Movement is the second upgraded 1300-2 caliber, which boasts 120 hours of power reserve (it actually runs for 6.5 days), a big date display, and 60 minute flyback chronograph with knurled pushers and crown. Time is read off the trademark Journe blued steel hands. Overall in great condition, keeping time well within COSC standards. Purchased in 2010 and has not been service since 2010. The bracelet wears and sizes very comfortably owing to 2 half links, and is currently sized to a 7 inch wrist, with 2 spare links as can be seen in one of the images.
Comes complete with all boxes, papers, instructions, warranty card, and 18k rose gold ardillon buckle and brown alligator strap with OEM spring bars. At an international auction in February 2014, a first series brass calibre 1300 Octa Chrono 38mm in rose gold (on leather strap and ardillon buckle) old for HKD 262,500. This is the upgraded second version with gold movement and frosty gold dusted dial, and with a full solid gold bracelet, which retails for around USD 25k+. Original retail price for this timepiece on the gold bracelet was in excess of USD 90,000 5 years ago. There is a video I've done up as well, but I can't seem to post the link here - you can find it on YouTube. Paypal or Bank Wire preferred, please ask questions. Thank you
