Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Platinum Stone Blue: Discreet Luxury in Blue
Parmigiani Fleurier presents the Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Platinum Stone Blue, a limited edition of only 25 pieces that embodies understated luxury. The timepiece features a case and bracelet made of 950 platinum, complemented by a sandblasted Stone Blue dial with appliqués in 18-karat rhodium-plated gold. With a diameter of 40 mm and a height of just 7.8 mm, the watch maintains a sleek profile while housing the automatic PF703 caliber with a platinum micro-rotor.
Case
The case of the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Platinum Stone Blue is made of 950 platinum. With a diameter of 40 mm and a height of 7.8 mm, the watch combines elegance with robustness. The polished and satin-brushed surfaces give the case a refined subtlety, while the knurled bezel adds a touch of sophistication. The screw-down crown ensures water resistance up to 100 meters. The sapphire crystal case back meanwhile offers a view of the movement and features an engraving of the serial number, along with a reference to the limited edition of 25 pieces.
Dial
The dial of the Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Platinum Stone Blue is crafted from 950 platinum and features a sandblasted finish in a soothing stone blue hue. This colour, inspired by Le Corbusier’s palette, invites contemplation and adds to the watch’s understated elegance. The hand-applied hour markers in rhodium-plated 18-carat gold further enhance the dial’s luxurious feel. Complementing these are the skeletonised delta-shaped hands, also in rhodium-plated gold, which ensure optimal readability while adding a delicate touch. The minimalist design of the dial emphasises the essentials, with no superfluous elements to distract from the watch’s overall aesthetic. The absence of a seconds hand adds to the serene appearance, allowing the wearer to appreciate the passage of time in a more meditative way.
Movement
At the heart of the Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Platinum Stone Blue lies the PF703 movement, an automatic calibre that combines beauty and innovation. This ultra-thin movement has a height of just 3.07 mm, made possible by the micro-rotor in platinum, which is decorated with a Grain d’Orge guilloché. The integration of the rotor into the movement architecture not only saves space but also allows for an unobstructed view of the finely finished components. The movement features 166 parts, 29 jewels, and operates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz). Despite its slim dimensions, the PF703 offers a power reserve of 48 hours. The exquisite finishing, including Côtes de Genève and chamfered bridges, reflects Parmigiani Fleurier’s commitment to fine watchmaking.
Bracelet
The bracelet of the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Platinum Stone Blue is also crafted from 950 platinum. Its polished and satin-brushed surfaces blend seamlessly with the case, enhancing the watch’s elegant appearance. The 18-carat white gold folding clasp ensures a secure and comfortable fit on the wrist. Designed for perfect integration with the case, the bracelet creates a harmonious and cohesive overall aesthetic.
