Parmigiani Fleurier Automatic White Gold

The Tonda Automatic, newly presented with a fully-paved diamond Grain d’Orge or barleycorn dial setting, shines with powerful simplicity. This beautiful jewelry watch is a refined tribute to feminine elegance. This is the message that Parmigiani Fleurier wants this creation to embody for those who appreciate beauty with essential substance.

The Tonda Automatic fully paved with diamonds was designed as a painter would imagine filling his canvas using the technique of pointillism (a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image). Parmigiani Fleurier draws with diamonds using more than a thousand diamonds of different sizes to adorn the dial and the case. All these precious stones certified F-G color and VVS, an exceptional and rare standard of quality in the industry, bring the signature Grain d’Orge motif to life.

The clear and harmonious lines of the Tonda Automatic in 18 ct rose gold or 18 ct white gold instantly reveal its dial, which captures the eye. This unique diamond setting that follows the distinctive lines of the barleycorn pattern, is in no way comparable to the usual.

Inspired by the Grain d'Orge motif, which is now one of the strongest aesthetic signatures of Parmigiani Fleurier on its guilloché dials, the Maison chose to translate it through a complete diamond setting evoking the motif. This was a difficult challenge indeed, as it involved highlighting the Grain d’Orge pattern with a diamond “snow” setting that uses diamonds of seven different diameters, set in a very limited space on the finely patterned gold dial.
