This year, at Watches and Wonders 2026, Parmigiani Fleurier arrived armed with a host of new releases to celebrate 30 years as a brand. Unlike many other marques, though, these pieces are not modernized renditions of prior watches. Instead, as we’ll see, the pieces offer hand-finished dials and precious metals, aside from, but also including gold.
Admittedly, I vaguely knew of Parmigiani Fleurier early on in my collecting journey. However, the more intense focus only came about several years ago, as the company adopted more minimalist designs. While the watches are certainly priced in a realm that qualifies them for luxury status, I enjoy their restrained appearance. Today’s references, celebrating 30 years, continue to espouse these elegant, yet understated traits.
The Toric trilogy celebrates 30 years
While most of my attention typically finds its way to the Tonda PF, let’s not forget about the Toric. This lovely round-shaped piece is imbued with the same less-is-more dial design as its sportier relative. Here, Parmigiani presents three pieces to celebrate its 30 years in business. All feature a hand-hammered 18K gold dial that has been produced by a single artisan over 60 different steps. The result is a unique dial for each of the 30 pieces of each model.
The Toric Split Seconds Chronograph
The first is a platinum split seconds, or rattrapante, chronograph with a diameter of 42.5mm and a thickness of 14.4mm. It has an agave blue dial with both gold and steel hands. Functionally, it measures 30-minutes, 12-hours, and running seconds. The movement is the stunning manual winding PF361, which has open-worked bridges and a heavy dose of anglage. The high-beat movement has a frequency of 36,000vph and a power reserve of 65 hours. This watch has a price of €178,300.
The Toric Rose Gold Perpetual Calendar
Next, Parmigiani added an 18K rose gold hammered dial and 40.6mm by 10.9mm case to its Toric Perpetual Calendar. This limited edition of 30 pieces features two subdials showcasing the calendar information via gold-plated steel hands. Central hour and minute hands are crafted from 18K rose gold. Inside, the watch uses the brand’s manual winding PF733 caliber, which has 60 hours of power reserve and a frequency of 28,800vph. The movement is visible through a sapphire display back and shows off Clous de Paris hand-guilloché and anglage. Pricing is set at €127,500.
The Toric Platinum Small Seconds
The final Toric 30 years piece is a platinum small seconds model. Parmigiani calls this dial hue “Morning Blue,” which is applied to a base of hammered 18K white gold. The watch has a lovely case design with dimensions of 40.6mm by 8.8mm. Like the other models, this reference is also limited to 30 pieces and uses a manual-winding movement. The twin-barreled PF780 also has 60 hours of power reserve and a frequency of 28,800vph. Architecturally, it is like the prior PF733 with its Clous de Paris hand-guilloché. It is paired with a pearl-gray alligator strap and a platinum pin buckle. At €84,700, this model is the least expensive of the trio.
The Platinum Tonda PF trio begins with the Chronographe Mysterieux
Earlier this week, I wrote an in-depth article about the new Chronographe Mysterieux from Parmigiani. Therefore, I won’t go into all the details about how the movement and complication work, but it’s safe to say that this watch did not disappoint in person. The way the rhodium hands retreat to the top of the dial to begin work as a chronograph is magical. Leaving behind rose gold hands for normal timekeeping duty is the chef’s kiss.
While the steel model is the regular production piece, the complication gets the platinum 30 years treatment as well. 30 pieces of the 40mm by 13mm model feature a sandblasted natural platinum dial. Inside, the same beautifully decorated PF053 automatic is at work. At €112,400, this is a significant, but lovely, step up from the blue-dialed steel piece.
The Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante Platinum receives the 30 years treatment
The brand’s equally lovely Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante is also available as a limited edition in platinum with a matching platinum dial. Like the previous Chronographe Mysterieux, a pusher at seven thirty is engaged to show the local time. This reveals a rose gold hand with home time. A crown-mounted pusher then restores the previously hidden gold hand.
At 40mm by 10.7mm, this has a similar feel to the chronograph. Yet, with its additional button, the watch still has a depth rating of 60 meters. The watch uses the PF051, an automatic adorned with Côtes de Genève, perlage, and anglage. It has 48 hours of power reserve and a frequency of 21,600vph. Pricing is set at €102,700.
The Tonda PF Minute Rattrapante Platinum – the final chapter
For the last 30 years platinum piece, Parmigiani lent its focus to the Tonda PF Minute Rattrapante. This watch uses pushers on the side of the case to advance a formerly hidden minute hand in either five- or one-minute increments. Once the hand has been set, it becomes a countdown timer. A crown-mounted pusher sends the countdown hand back to its place underneath the current time minute hand. At 40mm by 10.7mm, this watch uses the PF052 micro-rotor automatic. It’s in the same family as the other Tonda PF movements in the platinum trio. Therefore, expect a power reserve of 48 hours and a frequency of 21,600vph. Regarding pricing, the watch will cost €105,000.
A first in gold – the Tonda PF Chronograph Rose Gold 40mm
While the final release is not expressly made to celebrate 30 years, it’s worth mentioning. For the first time, Parmigiani is producing a gold 40mm Tonda PF Chronograph. In fact, it’s rose gold and is paired with a gorgeous Mineral Blue dial that features a hand-guilloché Grain d’Orge pattern. It also comes on a beautiful matching bracelet. As for the chronograph functionality, the watch shows running seconds and is equipped with 30-minute and 12-hour totalizers. The automatic PF070 movement is COSC chronometer certified with 65 hours of power reserve and is a true high beat with a frequency of 36,000vph. Water resistance is superb at 100 meters. For pricing, expect to pay €79,000.
Final thoughts
In my opinion, Parmigiani delivered the goods for its 30 years anniversary. The watch, like always, is clean, devoid of extraneous messaging, and is wonderfully styled. Where color has been added, the choices are tasteful and elegant. All told, the brand delivered one of the best sets of releases this year at Watches and Wonders 2026.
