TONDA PF SKELETON PLATINUM MILANO BLUE

Following the steel end rose gold versions, Parmigiani Fleurier introduces the TONDA PF Skeleton Platinum. The dial of this stunning new execution reveals the life of the skeletonized movement with its satin-finished open bridges. The platinum colour of the timepiece contrasting with the Blue Milano dial gives to this version an impacting yet extremely elegant and distinctive appeal.

The art of the skeleton watch remains a delicate exercise, as illustrated by the two new Tonda PF Skeleton watches in 18ct rose gold and steel/platinum. They reflect the spirit driving the Maison when it comes to watchmaking creativity, guided by a careful thought process overriding any other considerations: purity and restraint reign supreme, while the smallest details are explored in depth until the perfection of volumes, aesthetics and added value form a pleasing whole.

Skeletonisation generally consists of opening up the movement as much as possible in order to offer the eye a visual perspective through which to gaze. Parmigiani Fleurier takes a different approach: the artistic open working of the Tonda PF Skeleton must reveal the organic life of the movement and its architecture while preserving its balance and volume.

The artisans have made the most of the solid parts and used the voids to allow light to pour into the very heart of the PF777 calibre. This meticulously hand-chamfered latticework draws the purist's eye in order to grasp some of the mysteries of its kinematics. Airy Overall Structure To ensure the best possible performance, the oscillating weight visible through the transparent sapphire crystal case back is artistically crafted in platinum to become a masterpiece blending in with the airy overall structure comprised of 187 components. The oscillations generated by the wearer's movements help wind the barrel, which is also open-worked and reveals the steady contracting and relaxing of the mainspring driving its balance at a rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour.
