Parmigiani Fleurier Kalpa Tonda 42 MM Silver Dial White Gold Automatic Watch Ref. No PF012506.01

The house's very first first self-winding movement, unveiled at SIHH in 2001, powers the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda 42 ref. PF012506.01. Its creator, Michel Parmigiani, spent twenty years as a restorer, trusted with maintaining the Sandoz collection, before founding his house in 1996.

Two barrels mounted in series feed the balance a more constant flow of energy across some 55 hours, and the brand bevels the bridges by hand beneath a 22k gold rotor. On the case, the teardrop lugs follow the golden ratio, a signature Michel Parmigiani drew for his first wristwatches, while the small seconds at six cradles the date.

Phillips notes that an output of around 5,000 watches a year makes Parmigiani far less common than many of its rivals. The group also makes its own cases, dials and even hairsprings, which very few manufacturers can do. This reference is no longer in production, and the line has since moved on to the Tonda PF of 2021.

Graded Excellent and complete with its original Parmigiani Fleurier box and papers, this Tonda unites the founder's own design in solid gold with his house's first automatic calibre: a watch to wear every day and keep for good.
