Parmigiani Fleurier Unveils Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante Verzasca

Here at Watches & Wonders Geneva 2025, a lot of brands are stepping up their game when it comes to beautiful dials and  Parmigiani Fleurier is no exception. of course, the brand has been captivating enthusiasts by exploring new dial colors and textures fro a while now, from  the warm copper tones of the Tonda PF Chronograph to the deep blue hues of the Tonda PF Micro-Rotor. Now, the Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante Verzasca follows this trend thanks to a striking new dial inspired by nature.

The Verzasca Green dial draws its color from the crystal-clear, mineral-rich waters of Switzerland’s Verzasca Valley. This pristine region, where time seems to stand still, serves as the perfect muse for a watch designed to track multiple time zones with subtle elegance. The dial’s finely hand-guilloché “Grain d’Orge” pattern adds texture and depth, creating a mesmerizing interplay of light across its surface.

Framed by a platinum 950 knurled bezel and housed in a 40 mm stainless steel case, the watch exudes restrained sophistication. Complementing the dial’s verdant hue, the white gold and rose gold hour hands used for the local and home time provide both functionality and visual warmth. The look, combined with the split-GMT function makes this watch highly desireable.

At the heart of the Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante Verzasca watch beats the Calibre PF051, a self-winding manufacture movement with a 22-carat rose gold micro-rotor. It offers split-GMT function for dual time indication.  The 215-part  PF051 also offers a 48-hour power reserve and operates at a frequency of 3 Hz (21,600 vibrations per hour).

The rattrapante functionality usually reserved for a split-second chronograph, has been realigned in this watch for the dual-time function. Essentially, the dual-time hand system allows the wearer to track two time zones: pressing the pusher at 8 o’clock advances the local time by one hour, while the rose gold home time hand remains fixed. A discreet pusher integrated into the crown at 3 o’clock resets the local hand, reuniting it with the home time hand.

The Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante Verzasca is a compelling example of Parmigiani Fleurier’s mastery of subtle evolution. Through its striking green dial and refined execution of a beloved complication, the watch offers a fresh perspective. It retails for $31,100.

According to Guido Terreni, CEO of Parmigiani Fleurier, “The Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante speaks the language of emotion and intuition. It erases the distance between time zones and people with a single gesture. It is not just another complication but a more human and elegant way of experiencing time.”
