A refined, minimalist perpetual calendar joins the Toric collection.
Parmigiani Fleurier’s main novelty for Watches & Wonders 2025 is the Toric Perpetual Calendar. Following the route map charted by CEO Guido Terreni for the brand, the Toric Perpetual Calendar embodies understated luxury and refined minimalism. Like other models in the Toric collection, the new QPs are housed in precious metal cases featuring the signature knurled bezel and powered by solid gold, manual-winding movements.
Following the release of the Tonda PF collection, Terreni revived the Toric, a pivotal piece in the history of Parmigiani Fleurier. Designed by master watchmaker and restorer Michel Parmigiani for the fledgeling Parmigiani brand in 1996, his Toric wristwatch took inspiration from Ancient Greece and nature. Using the Golden Ration (also known as Phi, in honour of the Greek sculptor Phidias, who applied this ratio to design his sculptures), the Toric was a triumph of aesthetic harmony and mechanical perfection.
Twenty-eight years later, in last year’s edition of Watches & Wonders, the Toric returned as a sophisticated dress watch with its Small Seconds model and a Chronographe Rattrapante. In line with Terreni’s vision for the collection, the Toric is only available in precious platinum or gold case with manual-winding gold movements, gold dials, gold hands and indices.
The new Toric Perpetual Calendar is presented in 40.6mm platinum and rose gold cases with a height of 10.9mm. Featuring the Toric’s signature knurled bezel, the minimalist display of the calendar functions lends the dial an elegant, balanced presence. With no luminescence or busy sub-dials flashing information, the coaxial arrangement of the counters at 4 and 8 o’clock, combined with the restraint shown in branding and inscriptions, gives the dial ample breathing space.
The Morning Blue dial of the platinum edition and the warm Golden Hour dial of the rose gold model are beautifully hand-grained (grenage) to create a subtle matte texture. Slightly concave, the gentle slope of the dial’s perimeter hosts the applied gold hour markers. A white gold or rose gold ring frames the large central area of the dial with the oval PF cartouche applied at noon and the two recessed and gold-framed sub-dials with the calendar information printed in black. The only other elements on the dial are the gold delta-shaped hour and minute hands.
Parmigiani Fleurier is no newcomer to calendar watches and has developed extremely complex Chinese and Muslim calendars. The new calendar watch is powered by the same base manual-winding calibre as the Small Seconds but is fitted with a perpetual calendar module (minus the small seconds).
Visible through the sapphire caseback, the new rose gold calibre PF733 showcases its geometric gold bridges with their distinctive Côte de Fleurier finish, as well as the sandblasted gold mainplate. With 265 components, the only elements revealed are the two barrels, storing the 60-hour power reserve, and the 4Hz regulating organ. There are three correctors in the case to adjust the calendar functions.
Both models are paired with an Arctic Grey, hand-stitched nubuck alligator leather strap and a pin buckle that matches the case material. Limited editions of 50 pieces in each metal, the price is CHF 92,000 in platinum and CHF 85,000 in gold. More information at parmigiani.com.
