Description

The present reference is the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda 1950 Clarity PFC267‑1264600‑XC2621, a slender white‑gold dress watch that elevates the minimalist Tonda silhouette with full gem‑setting and an ultra‑thin automatic heart. Its 39 mm round case, just 8.40 mm thick, is crafted in 18 ct white gold and set with 84 diamonds on the bezel, totaling 0.646 carats, creating a halo of light that frames the composition without overwhelming it. Water resistance is 3 atm (30 m), in keeping with its refined, formal character, and a sapphire crystal front and transparent case back preserve clarity on both sides.

The dial is a true “clarity” showcase: fully set with 620 diamonds totaling 2.495 carats, it shimmers with a pavé surface that transforms simple hours and minutes into a jewelry‑grade statement. The gem layout is executed with precision, ensuring even brilliance and a harmonious play of light across the entire dial.

Inside, the self‑winding calibre PF701 underscores Parmigiani Fleurier’s horological credentials. This ultra‑thin automatic movement, equipped with 29 jewels and a power reserve of up to 42 hours, is visible through the transparent case back, where its fine finishing and micro‑rotor architecture can be appreciated. Despite the lavish gem setting, the watch retains the Tonda 1950’s hallmark elegance and wearability, pairing its white‑gold pin buckle with a supple calfskin strap.

In the Tonda 1950 Clarity, high jewelry and high watchmaking are seamlessly integrated: an 8.40 mm‑slim profile, a pavé diamond dial and bezel, and a finely finished in‑house calibre PF701 come together in a time‑only dress piece that is as technically accomplished as it is visually luminous.
