To celebrate the approaching Lunar New Year, Parmigiani Fleurier has revealed a fresh version of its Tonda PF Xiali Chinese Calendar in rose gold. In 2023, the Swiss company initially introduced their Chinese Calendar timepiece, featuring a steel construction and an integrated bracelet in matching tones. The new model swaps out steel for elegant rose gold, enhancing the intricate design with a touch of luxury.
In a 42mm case crafted from 18-karat rose gold, this watch showcases a refined knurled bezel also made from the same material. Its dial exudes elegance with an imperial red color and intricate guilloché pattern. The hour markers are encircled by the 24 solar terms, representing various stages of the agricultural calendar, thereby enriching the design with a cultural dimension.
At the top, a three-tiered sub-dial shows the year, its corresponding zodiac sign, and element according to the Chinese lunar calendar, adding cultural richness to the watch. The sub-dial at 9 o’clock lists the months in Chinese characters, while the one at 3 o’clock indicates the day and whether it is a long or short date, creating an easy-to-understand layout for the user.
The subdial showing the moon phases at 6 o’clock gives the watch an extra touch of elegance and utility. This feature not only makes it more attractive to look at, but also helps in monitoring lunar cycles practically. The harmonious combination of these aspects results in a dial that is both visually balanced and aesthetically satisfying, addressing practical requirements as well as artistic preferences.
Peering into the open caseback of my watch, I marvel at the intricate beauty of the PF008 Calibre. The exquisite craftsmanship is evident in the Côtes de Genève finish, the beveled bridges, and the 22-carat rose gold skeletonized oscillating weight that sparkles like a precious gem.
As a fervent admirer, I’m thrilled to share that starting January 29th, the Tonda PF Xiali Chinese Calendar adorned in rose gold will make its debut. This special release falls on the eve of the Lunar New Year, marking the commencement of the Year of the Wood Snake, a celebration I eagerly anticipate!
