Description

The present reference PFC940-2010002-300181 is Parmigiani Fleurier’s Toric Petite Seconde in 18k rose gold with the “Dune” dial, a modern redesign of the brand’s founding model from 1996.

The 18k rose gold case measures 40.6mm in diameter and 8.8mm thick. It features polished surfaces, fluid lugs, and the collection’s signature knurled bezel inspired by Doric columns. Anti-reflective sapphire crystals protect both sides, and the case provides 30 meters of water resistance.

The “Dune” dial is crafted from solid 18k rose gold and hand-grained to create a matte, sand-colored finish. It features applied 18k rose gold hour markers, matching javelin hands, a polished bevel framing the hour track, and a small seconds register at 6 o’clock.

Powering the watch is the in-house, hand-wound Calibre PF780. Measuring 28.4mm by 3.15mm, the movement is constructed with solid 18k rose gold bridges decorated with Côtes de Fleurier and hand-polished bevels. Built with 157 components and 27 jewels, it beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and delivers a 60-hour power reserve.

The watch is fitted with a hand-stitched Sand Gold nubuck alligator leather strap and an 18k rose gold pin buckle.
