More on Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT

About Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT Watches

The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT range is one that stands out from the other offerings from the Swiss brand but also fits the overarching design perfectly.
While many watches would take a utilitarian or elegant route, Parmigiani Fleurier chooses to tread both paths and create something unique - something that'll show taste and prestige while keeping up with your high-activity lifestyle. In a segment dominated by integrated bracelet offerings, Parmigiani Fleurier takes a unique approach to the luxury sports chronograph.

Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT History

The Parmigiani Fleurier brand itself isn't all that old, as Michel Parmigiani only launched the brand in 1996. With the addition of their first factory in 1999, Parmigiani Fleurier was set to create some high-end Swiss timepieces.
The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT is relatively young in comparison, as the line of watches was only launched in 2020, and it is a range of sporty, luxurious chronographs that are different from the other offerings by other high-horology brands.
Parmigiani Fleurier is also famous for other lines, such as the Toric collection, a dress range built upon the same exquisite finishing methods of the Tonda GT but equipped with severely intriguing complications. There's also the Tonda PF collection that features a similar design approach to the Tonda GT but with a more minimalistic approach.

How Much Do Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT Watches Cost?

Parmigiani Fleurier is certainly a niche brand, and not only is it niche, but it's a brand that executes immense attention to detail. That said, prices for the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT range are not as ridiculous as some of the prices of the 2020 horology boom would have you believe.

What's Unique About Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT Watches?

The segment of luxury sports chronographs is largely dominated by integrated bracelet models, all either Genta designs or trying to emulate this design. The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT range differentiates itself by not having an integrated design and making every single aspect of the watch something special rather than just one defining characteristic.
Every aspect, from the guilloché dial to the fluted bezel to the highly polished chronograph pushers, is executed to extremely high standards, setting the model apart from other big hitters in the segment.

Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT Movements

Parmigiani Fleurier has been producing some of the most beautifully finished in-house movements since 2003, when Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier was created. The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT range consists mostly of chronographs.
However, there are some other offerings available as well. The PF071T automatic chronograph movement is an evolution of the caliber PF316, first introduced by the brand in 2016. It is COSC chronometer-certified, features a 36,000 bph beat rate, and a skeletonized 22k gold rotor.
The PF043 automatic caliber is equipped with several complications, including an annual calendar, chronograph, big date, and small seconds. It features Côtes de Genève stripes and sustains 45 hours of power reserve. Lastly, the PF044 is an in-house movement featuring 45 hours of power reserve, decorated with circular Côtes de Genève on the bridges, and beats at a frequency of 4 Hz.

Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT Watch Colors

The subdials match up with the strap the watch is presented on, creating an eye-catching look.
