Jean-Marc Fleury - FXR-4 Rose Gold and Copper
Jean-Marc Fleury announces two refined additions to its acclaimed FXR-4 Chronograph series, each presenting a unique perspective on the brand's commitment to traditional Swiss watchmaking excellence.
Available now in strictly limited small-series production, these new expressions—the FXR-4 Chronograph in rose gold and the FXR-4 with copper-toned dial—embody the quiet pursuit of beauty that defines Fleury's independent atelier.
The Rose Gold Expression: Material as Mastery
The introduction of 18k rose gold to the FXR-4 collection represents a natural evolution of the timepiece's architectural purity. The warm, noble metal enhances the watch's crisp lines and sophisticated proportions, creating a harmonious dialogue between mechanical rigor and timeless elegance. This new material expression extends a vision shaped by decades of precision and mastery—principles forged during Jean-Marc Fleury's extensive journey within the hallowed ateliers of Patek Philippe.
At its heart beats the manufacture's FM04 calibre, a 255-component column-wheel chronograph developed entirely in-house over five years. The movement pays direct tribute to the legendary Lemania 2310, a benchmark among mechanical chronographs, while establishing its own distinct identity through contemporary engineering and uncompromising finishing standards.
A new high-standard finishing execution elevates the FM04 calibre to exceptional heights through the skilled geste de l'artisan. Chronograph levers receive meticulous mirror-polishing and satin-finishing, while rose gold-coated wheels provide subtle warmth against the maillechort (German silver) mainplate and bridges. Palladium treatment of the maillechort surfaces magnifies the traditional Côtes de Genève decoration, creating a captivating choreography of forms, textures, and reflections that rewards close examination.
The Copper Dial Expression: Inspired by Nature's Perfection
Drawing inspiration from the iconic 'Just Joey' rose—awarded World's Favourite Rose in 1994—the new copper-toned dial captures the apricot-copper hues and refined character of this celebrated bloom. The dial's nuanced coloration shifts vibrantly under changing light, offering remarkable depth while maintaining the sophisticated restraint expected of haute horlogerie.
Beneath this distinctive dial, the FM04 calibre remains unchanged in its mechanical ambition. The same 255-component architecture, the same five-year development legacy, and the same hand-finished discipline guide every component's creation. Each movement reflects the artisanal standards forged through Jean-Marc Fleury's long journey at Patek Philippe, ensuring that mechanical integrity and aesthetic refinement remain perfectly aligned.
