The new Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Collection is enriched by a sophisticated squelette timepiece, the Tonda PF Skeleton, recently unveiled by Parmigiani Fleurier on occasion of the Watches and Wonders watch exhibition (Geneva, March 30- April 5).
Available in two variations – in 18ct rose gold and in steel with a platinum 950 knurled bezel – this model comes in a 40 mm case that is slightly thicker (8.5 mm vs 7.8 mm) than the Tonda PF Micro-Rotor, the inaugural piece of the new collection. Thanks to a screwed-in crown, the watch is water resistant to 100 metres / 330 feet. With the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Skeleton, Parmigiani Fleurier fully showcases the architecture of the PF777 calibre while preserving its balance and volume. Even the barrel is openworked revealing the mainspring that drives its balance at a rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour. The graphite-coloured openworked dial alternates sandblasted and satin-brushed surfaces and is completed by suspended hour markers. The two openworked hands glide over the large dial opening, which retains only a chapter ring to facilitate the reading of the time. Visible through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback, the 22ct rose gold oscillating weight nicely blends with the airy structure comprised of 187 components. The autonomy of the watch is 60 hours.
Completed by a fully integrated bracelet, the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Skeleton has a price of CHF 59,000 in stainless steel (ref. PFC912-1020001-100182) and CHF 88,000 in rose gold (ref. PFC912-2020001-200182).
