A triumph in Two-Tone Elegance
The quest for aesthetic purity is pivotal in the creative process at Parmigiani Fleurier. Given the GPHG-winning Tonda PF collection’s subtle and refined spirit, the brand’s first bicolor Tonda PF posed a stylistic challenge. How do you incorporate a contemporary two-tone look without jeopardising the innate discretion of this collection? The solution was to use the precious metal to magnify certain architectural traits of the case and bracelet. For example, the finely knurled bezel of the Tonda PF is recreated in 18ct rose gold, and the supple integrated bracelet features rose gold links that accentuate its tapering profile.
The signature teardrop lugs of the Tonda PF mark the departure point of the fluid, tapering bracelet. In contrast to the polished stainless steel links at either end of the bracelet, the gold vertical links flanking the horizontal central link display a satin-finished surface. The beauty of these golden links is how they taper in size as they reach the folding clasp. Like gold ribbons streaming from the knurled bezel, the flowing rose gold links accentuate the streamlined silhouette of the bracelet.
In a departure from the larger 40mm Tonda PF Micro-Rotor, these more compact 36mm models are not equipped with a date window. With nothing superfluous to hamper the view, the exquisite Grain d’Orge hand-guilloché decoration on the dial and the structured, diamond-cut hour markers command attention.
