Sporty Yet Chic: A Mid-Range Model to Attract New Fans
Parmigiani Fleurier has released the new "Tonda GT Silver Black." This model, available in stainless steel and 18K rose gold, features a silver-toned guilloché dial with a small seconds subdial, date display, and other decorative elements highlighted in black. It comes with either a black rubber strap or a bracelet. This is a modern and chic watch, uniquely expressing the popular "panda" color scheme of black on light colors in an asymmetrical design.
The design of the simple "Tonda GT" and the more complex "Tonda Chronor GT" originates from details such as the case shape of the "Tonda Chronor Anniversaire" introduced in 2016. The "Tonda GT" design has been updated based on the golden ratio, born from Michel Parmigiani's rich imagination, featuring teardrop-shaped lugs that better follow the wrist, an integrated bracelet in the same material and finish as the case, and the artisanal hand-engraved "mortorise" decoration inherited from the maison's first watch, the "Tricot."
The dial is adorned with a decorative yet understated "clous triangulaires" pattern guilloché. The indices are made of black rhodium. The openworked delta-shaped hands are considered one of Parmigiani Fleurier's signature designs. The tips of the hands are black-coated, and the date is displayed in a large window at 12 o'clock.

Inside the case, similar to the previously released silver black model of the "Tonda Chronor GT," it houses the automatic PF044 caliber. Through the sapphire crystal case back, one can admire the 22K rose gold rotor. This movement boasts a 45-hour power reserve and features decorative finishes like Côtes de Genève on the bridges. The design, manufacturing, decoration, assembly, finishing, and casing of the movement, like all Parmigiani Fleurier watches, are carried out in-house at the maison's manufacturing facilities.
The "Tonda GT" Silver Black model signifies the growth of the daily wear series within Parmigiani Fleurier's world, which has primarily focused on dress watches. Conceived as a more accessible watch, this new release offers the maison's beautiful and outstanding watchmaking at a mid-range price point, designed to attract new fans.
