Parmigiani Fleurier Goes Further with the Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Platinum Stone Blue
At last year's Watches and Wonders, Parmigiani Fleurier unveiled the Tonda PF Micro-Rotor, a stunning two-hand watch in stainless steel with intricate details and a beautiful dial in "Golden Siena" that celebrated purism at its finest. Now, the Swiss manufacture introduces a new version in full platinum with a "Stone Blue" dial, limited to just 25 pieces, which was created in accordance with the Golden Ratio.
The new shade, inspired by Le Corbusier's color palette, while discreet is very expressive. It makes for a beautiful background of the signature Delta-shaped and skeletonized hands and twelve applied white gold hour markers. While the "Golden Siena" dial was adorned with the brand's Grain d'orge guilloche pattern, the Stone Blue hue seen here is accentuated by a sandblasted finish, which highlights the beauty of the understatement even more.
The slim platinum case measures 40mm in diameter and 7.8mm in height, offering a sleek profile on the wrist. Despite its slender form, it boasts a water resistance rating of 100 meters, ensuring durability and resilience. Not to be missed is the knurled bezel that frames the dial as well as the five-row bracelet that features the same combination of polished and satined surfaces like the case.
At the heart of the Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Platinum "Stone Blue" is the brand’s manufacture movement, PF703, with a power reserve of 48 hours. This self-winding movement, consisting of 166 components and paced at 21,600 vph, is equipped with a micro rotor, which allows for the slim built of the watch. The tiny yet powerful oscillating mass, also made from platinum 950, is adorned with Grain d’Orge guilloche. Other decorations that the sapphire crystal back brings to life are perlage, beveled bridges, and Geneva Stripes.
Pricing is marked at $91,400.
