Toric Petite Seconde Rose Gold / Platinum
Toric系列的外觀設計毫無例外地沿襲了Parmigiani Fleurier帕瑪強尼所制定的標準。時標和指針均由18K玫瑰金製造而成，金質錶盤則經過紋飾和倒角處理，作為一種修飾技藝，紋飾可賦予盤面細緻入微的啞光質感，是製錶工藝的精粹所在。錶盤上塗覆一種特殊的混合物——這種混合物由塔塔粉、碎海鹽和銀組成，並與不含礦物質的水混合，形成均勻的糊狀物。金質機芯在高級製錶領域十分罕見。Toric雙秒追針計時碼錶機芯以18K玫瑰金打造，以5赫茲的高振頻躍動，配備雙導柱輪。
Toric Chronographe Rattrapante Rose Gold
全新Toric雙秒追針計時碼錶，其製作其機芯的精密程度及難度較陀飛輪有過之而無不及，需要結合精湛才華與嶄新技術。機芯與比例均衡優雅的錶殼完美融合，從整體輪廓以至裝飾細節，均見證對美學追求的研究成果。腕錶沒有任何凸起部分或尖角，悉心設計的按鈕亦巧妙融合於錶殼中，磨絨錶殼與錶帶無縫連接，外形流暢和諧，不論從正面或側面的不同角度欣賞，均展現出渾然天成的一體性。
Tonda Pf Skeleton Platinum
全新Tonda PF系列鏤空腕錶，巧妙融合鏤空設計與鉑金材質，兩年前，Tonda PF系列精鋼及18K玫瑰金鏤空腕錶隆重問世，開啟了一段傳奇篇章。鏤空設計通常會盡量展露機芯，令佩戴者可以清晰地觀賞到內部結構。然而，鏤空設計並非僅僅追求視覺美感，它也同樣注重腕錶結構的堅固性。通過鏤空設計讓光線照進PF777機芯的核心位置。經手工倒角處理的精美鏤空圖案，引領純粹主義美學的擁戴者深入探索機芯核心，將機芯的奧秘呈現眼前。
