Parmigiani Fleurier proudly introduces the latest interpretation of its iconic Tonda PF Automatic, winner of the prestigious Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) in 2022. This 36 mm version, crafted in stainless steel and 18ct rose gold, dazzles with its Deep Ruby dial and baguette-cut diamond indices. It perfectly embodies contemporary elegance and refined character, all while retaining a sophisticated allure capable of captivating the most discerning individuals.
“At Parmigiani Fleurier, color is never loud or obvious; it embodies a subtle sophistication born from intricate blends and nuanced tones. Each shade gracefully responds to its surroundings, delicately capturing light to reveal the full depth of its palette. In the case of Deep Ruby, this translates into a refined harmony, fluidly shifting from soft plum nuances to deeper burgundy hues.”
– Guido Terreni, CEO Parmigiani Fleurier
CONTEMPORARY CHARM IN DEEP RUBY
The dial’s intense Deep Ruby hue represents the pinnacle of modern sophistication, emerging as the new black in contemporary luxury. Rich, warm, and nuanced, this burgundy tone resonates deeply, evoking passion, creativity, and refined taste. Often associated with innovation and daring sophistication, deep cherry shades are acclaimed by connoisseurs alike for their ability to elevate classic aesthetics into something bolder and more distinctive.
EXQUISITE DESIGN AND CRAFTSMANSHIP
At the heart of this timepiece is a mesmerizing “Grain d’Orge” guilloché motif, painstakingly hand-crafted by skilled artisans. This intricate pattern dances across the dial, subtly interacting with light to enhance its depth and warmth.
The hour indices are set with twelve hand-applied baguette diamonds of exceptional purity (D-G/IF-VVS), approximately 0.36 carats in total, elegantly marking the passage of time. Each diamond, meticulously chosen for its flawless clarity and precise geometry, enhances the dial’s sophistication and luxurious depth, offering a delicate yet striking visual harmony.
FLUID ELEGANCE IN DUAL METALS
The unique allure of this watch lies significantly in its skillful use of mixed metals. Parmigiani Fleurier transcends conventional two-tone designs by making rose gold an integral structural and aesthetic element. The bracelet, constructed like a fluid cascade—a veritable “river of gold”—beautifully graces the wrist with graduated links carefully tapered for perfect ergonomics. The interwoven stainless steel and 18ct rose gold components complement each other harmoniously, creating an object of tangible luxury and sophisticated fluidity.
The carefully knurled bezel, alternating polished and satin finishes on the bracelet, and elegant silhouette offer a visually engaging and tactile experience. This harmonious juxtaposition not only enhances the watch’s contemporary appeal but also underlines Parmigiani Fleurier’s unwavering commitment to meticulous detail and masterful execution.
MANUFACTURE MOVEMENT
Powered by the in-house PF770 automatic caliber, the Tonda PF Automatic Steel Gold Deep Ruby combines mechanical excellence and haute horlogerie artistry. With a 60-hour power reserve and operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, this movement exemplifies precision and reliability. Decorated with traditional “Côtes de Genève” and beveled bridges, the movement is crowned by a skeletonized 22ct rose gold oscillating weight, polished and sandblasted to perfection.
