Presented here is an exquisite Parmigiani Toric Tourbillon Chronograph with a solid 18k rose gold case. This watch utilizes the rarely used Caliber PF354 chronograph by APRP (Audemars Piguet Renaud et Papi) and is a definitive send-off to the model first introduced in 2009.

The initial iterations of the Tondagraph Manual wind Tourbillon Chronographs from 2009 did not possess the power reserve indicator that appeared in the refreshed model of 2013, on which this piece is based.

Several limited-production pieces were released based on the refreshed PF354 mechanism, including models with traditional dials and skeletonized versions, typically produced in batches of 30 or fewer. Parmigiani Fleurier presented the final installment of the Toric Chronograph manual wind Tourbillon Chronograph somewhere in 2018.

Front side of the PF354 displays a tourbillon aperture, with its distinctive balance bridge and a barrel bridge, which adds symmetrical appeal to the dial arrangement. On the business side of the caliber is a traditional lateral-clutch chronograph mechanism with a column wheel that is mounted on the rear of the caliber. Softly shaped chronograph bridges and curved chronograph levers decorate the movement overall.

The PF354 boasts all the hallmarks of haute horlogerie finishing standards, using techniques including  Côtes de Genève, perlage, circular brushing, straight grinding, sphere-polished shafts, flat-polished screw heads, traditional bevelling across the mainplate, bridges parts of the chronograph.

The element that undoubtedly caught your attention first was the baguette-cut diamonds, which, to our knowledge, is the first and only execution of its type for this model and pre-dates the similarly set Hijri Calendar. Each of the 92 stones is cut and set to perfection and totals nearly 8 cts of stones all bearing the same quality and craftsmanship that you would expect from a Haute Horology example from Parmiginai Fleurier.

The Parmigiani Fleurier brand - a watch-making adventure that transcends the mundane - was created in Fleurier in 1996 and was guided by the passion of a man who remained faithful to the very essence of the watchmaker. Michel Parmigiani, master horologist, renowned restorer, and talented creator of mechanical time-keepers, dedicates his knowledge, which has been enriched by past and present teachings, to the benefit of the brand.

The Sandoz Family Foundation, who had tasked a young Michel Parmigiani to lead the restoration of their horological artifact collection, became interested in bringing Parmigiani's masterful work to the consumer market. In 1996, with the backing of the Sandoz Foundation, Parmigiani Fleurier was able to fit out its manufacturing workshops with the means to produce exceptionally high-quality goods. In less than 10 years, it achieved near complete vertical integration, and the industrial equipment deployed constitutes one of the rarest and most complete manufacturing workshops in Switzerland. The very essence of haute horology, such as attention to detail or the beauty of the embellishment of a simple or highly complicated movement, is the subject of great attention at Parmigiani Fleurier and is the reason for its international recognition.

OUR PERSPECTIVE

ALBERT TREVINOSENIOR CURATOR

My thoughts on the Toric Tourbillon Chronograph:

"A fascinating detail is that the Toric Tourbillon Chronograph is one of only a few pieces from the modern era of Parmigiani that poses the highly sought-after "Double knurled" bezel. This detail pays homage to the first Parmigiani watches and represents a design detail that modern collectors have begged the brand to bring back (myself included). "
