Parmigiani Fleurier debuts two new minimalist masterpieces
With its two new timepieces in Stone Blue, Parmigiani Fleurier illustrates a serene and refined luxury, characterised by unparalleled expertise and a minimalist sophistication. The Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Platinum Stone Blue and the Tonda PF 36mm Automatic Stone Blue are intimate masterpieces, designed for those who value authentic distinction and distinctive perspective
Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Platinum Stone Blue
The minimalist design and chromatic choice, inspired by Le Corbusier’s palette and timeless aesthetic, highlight the essentials while avoiding the superfluous. With the Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Platinum Stone Blue, an ultra-exclusive edition limited to just 25 pieces, the choice of platinum is self-evident. This noble and precious metal symbolises the essence of discreet refinement, paying homage to a pursuit of understated distinction, far removed from flamboyant artifices.
Every component reflects exceptional attention to detail: from the sandblasted Stone Blue dial, inviting contemplation and imagination, to the 18-ct rhodium-plated appliques, and the 950-platinum case and bracelet. This precious and durable metal embodies a subtle form of perfection, perfectly aligned with the values of Parmigiani Fleurier. Rarer than gold, platinum stands as the ultimate symbol of exclusivity: each watch in this collection is destined for discerning enthusiasts who view rarity as a discreet privilege.
Unalterable, platinum retains its natural glow over time, representing a vision of durable and timeless luxury. Its soft, white-grey hue offers an incomparable visual serenity, far more soothing than the intense shine of white gold. Unlike white gold, often enhanced by rhodium plating, platinum diffuses a velvety light – subtly elegant and never ostentatious. Platinum also meets the most rigorous technical demands. Its density gives it a unique presence, balancing apparent lightness with noble weight.
At the heart of the Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Platinum Stone Blue lies the PF703 calibre, a perfect symbiosis of beauty and innovation. This ultra-thin movement features a platinum micro-rotor adorned with the iconic Grain d’Orge guilloché. Nestled within the movement’s structure, it ensures an exceptional thinness of just 7.8 mm while providing a 48-hour power reserve.
Unlike traditional oscillating weights, this miniature rotor frees space to reveal a carefully balanced and refined architecture, a testament to Parmigiani Fleurier’s unmatched expertise. Every finish –from hand-decorated bridges to delicately satin-finished surfaces – embodies the brand’s unwavering commitment to exceptional craftsmanship. Every detail, every texture tells a story of craftsmanship and delicacy.
Tonda PF 36mm Automatic Stone Blue
In a world where luxury evolves toward greater simplicity and universality, the Tonda PF 36mm stands out with a design that aligns with today’s aspirations. Universal elegance, free of gender constraints. With its 36 mm diameter, it speaks to all those in search of versatile aesthetics, combining the charm of vintage proportions with contemporary allure. It embodies a refined vision of luxury, essential and designed to elevate the most delicate wrists while maintaining an undeniable presence.
Launched in 2021 as a symbol of the brand’s spectacular renewal, the Tonda PF collection illustrates Parmigiani Fleurier’s relentless pursuit of timeless aesthetics and refined mechanical arts. Every detail, from the knurled platinum bezel to the finely guilloché dial, reflects an approach where purity and technical sophistication meet. True to this vision, the Tonda PF 36mm aligns with a philosophy of discreet luxury, far from ostentation, and resonates with the values of authenticity and craftsmanship.
The “Stone Blue” dial of the Tonda PF 36mm, used for the first time in a configuration of hours, minutes, and seconds, illustrates the Maison’s dedication to sophisticated nuances. Inspired by Le Corbusier’s architectural palette, this vibrant blue has become a chromatic signature, consolidating the Tonda PF collection’s aesthetic identity.
Evoking the clarity of a morning sky or the soothing reflections of calm waters, this blue embodies an intimate connection with nature – a vital source of inspiration in contemporary luxury. Associated with contemplation and creativity, it also symbolises a universal, timeless aesthetic deeply rooted in a quest for perfection.
The beauty of the Stone Blue dial is enriched by remarkable artisanal craftsmanship. Finely guilloché in a Grain d’Orge motif, it captures light to create subtle plays of reflection, revealing a new facet of its delicate hue at every glance. This dial harmonises perfectly with the knurled platinum bezel encircling the stainless steel case, a hallmark of the Tonda PF collection, while the hand-applied rhodium-plated gold indexes add a touch of refinement. This perfect balance between minimalist design and precious details makes the Tonda PF 36mm a symbol of discreet and timeless sophistication.
