A Closer Look: Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Automatic 36mm

Since its founding in 1996, Parmigiani Fleurier has been a beacon of mechanical precision and aesthetic sophistication. With its latest release, the Tonda PF Automatic 36mm, the brand continues to uphold its legacy, presenting timepieces designed specifically for those who demand the highest standards in horology. The new 36mm models come in three variations, each a testament to refined lines and exceptional craftsmanship, seamlessly blending design and functionality.

The Tonda PF Automatic 36mm is characterized by its cushion-shaped steel case, which optimizes sound and balance, and a hand-guilloche’d dial available in warm grey, white or citrine hues. The dial features invisibly set baguette-cut diamonds as hour markers, adding a touch of understated luxury. At the heart of these timepieces is a double-barrel automatic movement, underscoring Parmigiani Fleurier’s dedication to technical mastery. Complementing this is a meticulously finished bracelet, enhancing the overall elegance of the watch.

Parmigiani Fleurier’s commitment to Swiss Haute Horlogerie extends beyond technical prowess to ethical considerations. The brand uses ethically certified gold and diamonds, ensuring that every stage of the process, from extraction to the finished product, meets the highest standards of transparency and control.

Among the new releases, the Tonda PF Automatic 36mm Rose Gold Set with a Sand Gold dial adorned with diamonds stands out at $84,900 USD. For those seeking a slightly more understated yet equally luxurious option, the Rose Gold with Warm Grey Dial and diamonds is available at $68,700 USD. The Steel-Rose Gold model with a White Citrine Dial offers a more accessible entry point at $34,300 USD.

Details of each version: The Tonda PF Automatic 36mm Rose Gold Set with a Sand Gold Dial is particularly noteworthy for its brilliant fluidity and sumptuous design. Made of 18-karat pink gold and studded with diamonds, it subtly evokes Parmigiani Fleurier’s signature lightness and preciousness. The bracelet’s unique feature of different-sized diamonds along its outer sides enhances its visual identity, making it a true work of art.

The Warm Grey Dial version offers a rich and unique identity, combining 18-karat pink gold with a hand-guilloche dial adorned with invisible-set baguette-cut diamonds. This version highlights the brand’s distinctive knurled bezel, set with diamonds, creating a harmonious and elegant design.

Lastly, the Steel-Rose Gold model with a White Citrine Dial balances depth and lightness. The delicate combination of steel and 18-karat pink gold threads through the bracelet, creating a visually balanced and stylistically powerful timepiece.

Each watch is powered by the PF770 Automatic winding Manufacture movement that beats at 4 Hz and offers 60 hours of power reserve. The movement boasts a 22-karat rose gold oscillating weight, and the components are all hand-finished and hand-assembled.

Since its inception, Parmigiani’s founder, Michel Parmigiani, envisioned creating women’s watches that epitomize horological perfection and exquisite finishing. This vision continues to guide the brand, as exemplified by the new Tonda PF Automatic 36mm collection.

CEO Guido Terreni emphasizes the brand’s approach to each creation as a blank canvas, aiming to infuse each timepiece with a unique identity. The new references are a refined fusion of rose gold and steel, showcasing a sophisticated minimalism that elevates Parmigiani Fleurier’s signature purism and elegance.
