A perpetual dream, the Toric Chronographe draws inspiration from the first timepiece designed by Michel Parmigiani in 1996. Driven by the “golden ratio”, the Toric reflects the watchmaker’s vision of a timeless wristwatch made to withstand the test of time.
Paying homage to its predecessor, the present chronograph model is blessed with a tastefully executed case, featuring an intricate fluted bezel, accompanied by downturned lugs that seamlessly caress the contours of the wearer’s wrist. Boasting a mesmerising monochrome dial, the configuration is beautifully arranged a black canvas with “Ecaille de Poisson” guilloche in the centre, contrasted with an inconspicuous date window between 1 and 2 o’clock, three sub-dials and a tachymeter track in white. Topped with applied pink gold Arabic numerals, this clever detail echoes the warm and inviting sensation that compliments the case. As beautiful as it is technically sound, the sapphire case back encourages its wearer to admire the Zenith El Primero-based cal. 400 Z that breathes life into this Toric Chronographe.
This early Parmigiani Fleurier model is certainly marketed towards collectors who are not looking to express materialistic style, but the confidence of knowledge and culture, with a refined elegance that is not at all conventional. Exceptionally rare and with such finesse, the present example is well-preserved in excellent overall condition.
