Price range £19,900 to £67,900 across 15 Parmigiani Fleurier watches in stock.

The Tonda PF collection represents Parmigiani Fleurier's clearest statement of its finishing philosophy — a philosophy rooted in its ownership of Vaucher Fleurier, one of the few manufacture groups that controls every stage of movement production. The PF770-HM inside this 36mm piece is a direct product of that relationship: bevelled steel, Côtes de Genève decoration, and a skeletonised oscillating weight in 22ct rose gold carrying the PF monogram. At 8.6mm across the case, the movement sits with unusual restraint for something finished to this standard. The stone blue dial is hand-guillochéd in a Grain d'Orge pattern — a labour-intensive basket-weave cut that shifts between deep and pale as the light moves across it, the texture doing what colour alone cannot. Rhodium-plated 18ct gold appliqués sit against it without competing, and the knurled bezel, cast in 950 platinum rather than steel, adds a material contrast that only becomes apparent close up. At 36mm the case suits a range of wrists honestly, and the brushed-and-polished bracelet, integrated flush into the lugs, keeps the whole thing lying flat rather than riding high.

Learn more about Parmigiani Fleurier

Michel Parmigiani spent two decades as a restorer, and it is the key to the company. He worked on the Maurice Sandoz collection — automata, singing birds, and complicated clocks of extraordinary rarity — and became one of the few people alive capable of rebuilding eighteenth and nineteenth century mechanisms whose makers left no documentation.

The Sandoz Family Foundation financed the founding of Parmigiani Fleurier in 1996 on the strength of that expertise, and continues to own it. Restoration work still runs alongside production, which is unusual and has direct consequences: the house has reverse-engineered historical complications few others have seen working.

The Sandoz backing also allowed something rarer than a brand — a supply chain. Parmigiani built or acquired Vaucher for movements, Atokalpa for escapement components including hairsprings, Elwin for precision parts, and Les Artisans Boîtiers for cases. Very few manufactures control all of that, and Vaucher supplies movements to other high-end houses.

The aesthetic signature is the teardrop lug, taken from historical pocket watch cases, and the Toric bezel with its knurled fluting derived from Greek architectural proportion.

The Tonda PF collection, launched in 2021, repositioned the house around understated integrated-bracelet watches and has been its most commercially successful line.

Your new watch

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch

Can I swim with it?

Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.

Water resistance explained

Will the glass scratch?

Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.

Sapphire, mineral and acrylic compared

Does it need a battery?

No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.

Quartz, automatic and solar compared

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as unisex, and at this size it suits any wrist that takes the dimensions.

Cheapest place to buy
