Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Golden Siena

The latest iteration of the collection’s no-date execution features a shade the Fleurier-based brand has created with moiré effects, directly inspired by the rich ’sienna’ palette. This design celebrates the subtle nuances and natural elegance of the earth, diffusing a warm serenity.

S

tripping the watch of everything superfluous, leaving only the essential: the Tonda PF Micro-Rotor initiated a quest for absolute aesthetic perfection the moment it launched in September 2021.

Tight, integrated lines. Superlative finishes. Automatic micro-rotor movement. The Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Collection affirms Parmigiani Fleurier’s strong identity of elegance and refined discretion. Each new model embodies this modern design template.

The collection’s latest addition, the Tonda PF Micro-Rotor No Date continues in the same clean, minimalist aesthetic. Reflecting the House’s functional and chromatic style, combining high-end finishes with exceptional watchmaking work, it is an object strongly in demand by watch purists.

To meet the expectations of true purists of watchmaking design, Parmigiani Fleurier chose to give the “Golden Siena” dial time indications but no date window. Nothing is left to chance, but always correlated with great attention to harmony between form and function.

The colour of the Golden Siena dial has on elegant appeal and diffuses warm serenity. In its quest for distinctiveness, Parmigiani Fleurier created a shade with moiré effects directly inspired by the rich “sienna” palette, thus celebrating the subtle nuances and naturalness of the earth. Long a favourite of elite brands, this refined and elegant hue goes perfectly with the masculine wardrobe.

The Grain d’Orge signature of Parmigiani Fleurier dials is a classic of Haute Horlogerie. The dial is finely hand guilloché in accordance with the brand’s highest standards. Very small in size to the point of requiring extreme visual attention to appreciate its fine and delicate texture, the dial plate’s guilloché pattern provides a large surface area for the watch hands.

Loyal to its quest for ultimate purity, Parmigiani Fleurier has removed the date window to retain only the essential functions of hour and minutes. In reinterpreting the principles of watchmaking classicism in a very modern way, the Golden Siena fulfils the pursuit for essential clarity that is the signature of Parmigiani Fleurier.

The case and bracelet design embellish the dial, concealing watchmaking know-how of the highest order. The 3.07mm-thick PF703 caliber with automatic winding by micro-rotor is decorated in accordance with the rules of watchmaking excellence for the utmost in elegant finesse. The micro-rotor option, complex in its creation, remains the prerogative of top-flight watch brands. This small oscillating weight in platinum ensures high density and mobility and is fully integrated into the thickness of the movement, unlike a classic, half-moon-shaped rotor, which would have covered it.

This more sophisticated construction allows a significant reduction in the thickness of the watch. The Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Golden Siena measures just 7.8mm on the wrist for maximum comfort and elegance. Much of the finishing is done by hand, following the intangible rules of high-level watchmaking craftsmanship.

A luminous watch that is much more than a timepiece, the 15 Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Golden Siena exemplifies watchmaking sophistication, imbued with the serenity that makes discreet refinement the ultimate contemporary cardinal value.
