Unique F.P. Journe timepiece creates auction history

F.P. Journe created a unique piece of his Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante, which was given for the 10th Anniversary of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and sold during the Singapore Charity Ball auction under the patronage of his H.S.H Prince Albert II of Monaco for the extraordinary amount of SG$ 400,000.  This seminal F.P. Journe Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante features a one-of-a-kind execution of a blue dial with oracle bone script numerals chronicling the passing of time. The oracle bone script was a form of Chinese characters carved on animal bones or turtle plastrons, used mainly for pyromantic divinations, and are the oldest known form of Chinese writing.
