This version is distinguished by its full 18-carat rose gold construction, offering a warmer and more precious interpretation of the TONDA PF aesthetic. Every element is designed to achieve harmony between technical mastery and understated elegance. Each detail is refined to serve a singular purpose: to evoke a lasting and personal relationship with time. A chronograph conceived for the wrist — refined in proportion, precious in material, and expressed through a soft, contemporary chromatic balance.
MORE COMPACT. EQUALLY REFINED.
The TONDA PF Chronograph 40MM is defined by its balanced proportions and mechanical sophistication. Its 40 mm case, crafted in polished and satin finished 18ct rose gold with a knurled bezel, ensures both comfort and visual refinement. The absence of a date display preserves the purity of the dial, allowing full emphasis on the chronograph functions and enhancing overall legibility.
Each detail is refined to serve a singular purpose: to stir emotions that are deep, enduring, and profoundly personal. A celebration of time, lived with intention. Size, substance, style: these three words define the TONDA PF Chronograph, a measuring instrument of absolute sophistication with a COSC-certified integrated manufacture movement, a 40 mm case, and a superlative execution faithful to the exacting standards of Parmigiani Fleurier.
The 40 mm diameter reflects a deliberate search for the right proportion — one that restores proximity between the watch and its wearer, enhancing both ergonomics and visual balance.
The question of case size is a perennial topic in watchmaking, evolving in tandem with shifting tastes and trends. For Parmigiani Fleurier, the question is asked differently: how to give life to a chronograph endowed with values of elegance and refinement, with a soul and a sensibility? The TONDA PF Chronograph is the result of this reflection.
Its 40 mm case in polished and satin-finished 18ct rose gold with a knurled bezel fits comfortably on all wrists, meeting the requirements of perfect ergonomics and accompanying every moment of daily life, from formal to more casual occasions. The absence of a date display allows for a purer aesthetic, placing full emphasis on the chronograph sub-dials and ensuring optimal legibility.
HAND-GUILLOCHÉ. LIGHT IN MOTION.
Beyond a mere measuring instrument, this creation captures the spirit of contemporary watchmaking, reflecting evolving aesthetic sensibilities and cultural expressions. It embodies the duality of time: Chronos, which measures and structures, and Kairos, which invites one to experience each moment in its full depth.
The Mineral Blue dial expresses this balance between movement and contemplation. Conceived to be experienced in natural light, the dial reveals its full depth throughout the day. The Grain d’Orge hand-guilloché creates a living surface, where reflections evolve continuously, rather than remaining fixed. This dynamic interaction with light allows the watch to change perception depending on its environment, reinforcing a more personal and evolving relationship with time. The result is a refined composition where technical precision meets emotional resonance.
FIVE HERTZ. ONE TENTH.
An exceptionally precise instrument, the TONDA PF Chronograph is powered by the integrated high-frequency PF070 manufacture movement, oscillating at 36,000 vibrations per hour (5 Hz) and certified by the Official Swiss Chronometer Control (COSC), the benchmark for performance and precision. Only 6.95 mm thick, this high-performance calibre delivers a power reserve of 65 hours. It features refined finishes, including satin-finished openworked bridges with bevelled decoration. The skeletonized oscillating weight, crafted in 22ct rose gold, is polished and sandblasted, reflecting Parmigiani Fleurier’s commitment to detail and craftsmanship.
The level of finishing follows the same logic as the exterior: not to accumulate decorative effects, but to structure light and enhance legibility within the movement itself. The TONDA PF Chronograph 40 mm in rose gold expresses a unique equilibrium. Its sophisticated mechanics express a high-performance instrument, while its overall composition places it within the realm of refined, elegant watchmaking — designed for a personal and intimate experience of time.
A chronograph that reveals itself progressively, rewarding attention rather than demanding it.
