The crew at Parmigiani Fleurier are no strangers to high-end watches. They’ve produced a number of quite attractive designs, with many of them aimed for larger wrists (or those who like an oversized look on the wrist). If you’re possessed of slenderer wrists – and like a bit of sparkle – then the newest 36mm versions of the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Automatic may be calling to you.
The case
The news about this Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Automatic is, of course, the 36mm case diameter. While their press release marks this design as for the ladies (along with the diamonds on bezels and dials), we would argue it could be a fit for any small wrist, regardless of gender. Sure, I personally wouldn’t go for the diamond set that they’ve got here, but that’s just me. We say, if you like the looks and it fits your wrist how you like, go for it.
The mechanicals
Just because this Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Automatic is smaller, does not mean that the movement inside is not up to PF standards. It’s an automatic (visible through the exhibition caseback), running at 4 Hz and offering up a respectable 60-hour power reserve.
Wrapping things up
If these watches are calling to you, you’ve got a few different styles to choose among. The rose gold version with diamond-set bezel and bracelet (and the sandstone dial) runs for $84,900. Stepping down to the black dialed version with the diamonds just on the bezel (not on the bracelet), you’re looking at $68,700. And then, finally, there’s a steel and rose gold version where the diamonds are just on the citrine dial; that one rounds out the collection at $34,300.
