Tonda Annual Calendar Chronograph 42mm | Ref. PFC906-0000140-B00182

The Story

The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda Annual Calendar Chronograph is a rare study in independent high-watchmaking, seamlessly blending two of horology’s most coveted complications. Featuring a silver dial with a modified "Clou de Paris" guilloché and contrasting black lacquer panda-style sub-registers, this 42mm stainless steel timepiece redefines the integrated-bracelet luxury sports watch. It is an understated, high-knowledge collector’s piece that prioritizes texture, depth, and legible sophistication.

The Craft

At its heart beats the Vaucher-manufactured Calibre PF043, an in-house automatic movement visible through the sapphire caseback. This high-performance engine features twin barrels for even torque, a vertical-clutch chronograph, and an Annual Calendar that requires correction only once a year. The finishing is exemplary, boasting Côtes de Soleil, hand-beveled bridges, and a 22k gold rotor mounted on high-efficiency ceramic bearings. With 100 meters of water resistance, it is as technically robust as it is aesthetically refined.

Condition & Set

This 2022 example is presented in Excellent condition throughout, with the case, integrated bracelet, and sapphire crystal showing meticulous preservation. It arrives as a Complete Full Set, including the original inner and outer boxes, dated warranty card, and all manuals. For the collector seeking an alternative to the mainstream that offers true Haute Horlogerie movement architecture and limited annual production, this Tonda stands as a superlative choice.
