In a market increasingly driven by scarcity, independent craftsmanship, and unconventional innovation, F.P. Journe’s Élégante 48 MM Titalyt® has emerged as one of the more intriguing success stories in the luxury timepiece segment.
Launched with a boutique retail price of approximately HKD 200,000, the Élégante has seen an aggressive upward trend on the secondary market—culminating in a HKD 504,000 hammer price at Christie’s in April 2025. That final figure marks a more than 150% appreciation in under two years, underscoring a shifting paradigm in collector preferences toward modern, hybrid complications.
