Parmigiani Fleurier’s Tonda GT Line Expands with New Bicolor Dials

Parmigiani Fleurier brought the elegance and fine craftsmanship of its timepieces into a new and sportier echelon of luxury with the launch of the Tonda GT collection in 2020. The collection garnered immediate success and widespread acclaim from the aficionado community for its timeless design, which brought the Tonda’s luxuriously refined look into a more mainstream, daily-wear arena.

The two newest additions to the growing Tonda GT collection both hail from the Tondagraph GT sub-family, though each reference offers a subtly different series of useful functions, technical capabilities, and aesthetic charms. What unites them visually and ensures their appeal to today’s connoisseur of sophisticated sporty luxury, are their dials, in the classical and crowd-pleasing bicolor style of a silvered main dial and a trio of black subdials. The juxtaposition of these two colors brings the series a further purity of design and a fresh, stylish execution that evolves naturally from the first generation of Tonda GT models.

The Tondagraph GT Steel Silver Black features a 42-mm case, forged in polished and satin-brushed stainless steel and boasting a water resistance of 100 meters. Its silver-and-black dial adorned with clou triangulaire texture has rhodium-plated indexes treated with black luminescent coating. Like its predecessor with a black dial, the watch houses the automatic Caliber PF043. Though the watch’s name indicates that it is a chronograph, it is actually something much more special, as Caliber PF043 enables the rare horological pairing of a chronograph with an annual calendar.

Following up on last year’s Tondagraph GT Rose Gold Blue, Parmigiani Fleurier adds the Tondagraph GT Rose Gold Silver Black. Like the new steel model, it is offered in two executions, mounted on either an integrated, ergonomically crafted bracelet or a textured black rubber strap. At 42 mm in diameter, its 18k rose gold case boasts a meticulous array of polished and brushed finishing and its fluted bezel frames the striking, high-contrast dial. Inside the Tondagraph GT Rose Gold Silver Black, and visible through a sapphire caseback, is the in-house Caliber PF071, a COSC chronometer-certified movement based on Parmigiani’s ground-breaking and GPHG award-winning Caliber PF361 and storing a 65-hour power reserve.
