Simple, elegant and timeless. Three extremely cliché ways to describe a watch, but it rings true for the new Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda 1950 Steel.
Why? Just look at the slim profile, faultless finish and great aesthetic that is understated, but never boring. An incredible combination if it is combined with the ultra-thin in-house movement. The PF701 caliber has a micro-rotor and a Côtes de Genève finishing.
The Tonda 1950 therefore has been a popular watch for Parmigiani, but always in quite expensive editions with a gold or titanium case. About twice as expensive as the way more accessible Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda 1950 Steel.
The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda 1950 Steel comes with the same movement as the gold and titanium versions
The 40-millimeter case of the Tonda 1950 Steel sets it apart. It is slightly larger than the 39 millimeters of the gold model. A small, yet significant difference. Its lugs are straight and slightly concave, harking back to the aesthetics of the Tonda 39 Qualité Fleurier. The Tonda 1950 Steel is available with a black or silver-colored dial, which features an external minute track, with a similar track on the seconds counter.
90 percent of the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda 1950 Steel is the same as the gold models, including the movement. For the real watch aficionados, a quick bit of trivia: the movement built by Parmigiani’s sister company Vaucher is a variant of the Vaucher 5401. In essence the same movement you also find in the Richard Mille RM 33-01 and the Hermes Slim d’Hermes.
One of the ultimate dress watches currently on the market comes on a black alligator leather strap with a steel folding buckle which can be set in different positions.
