That really is a stunning looking watch.
For me I think it looks best on that beautiful grey crocodile strap and think the second time zone at 12 is really clever and a good way to display it. I also don't have an issue with it being only 36mm as I have myself recently got used to a 35mm Cartier de Pasha 2308 in white gold and although at first it seemed small it's amazing how quickly you get to be accustomed to it and it just feels normal.

Scratching the Toric itch
The recent posts by M4 and TheMadDruid celebrating their gorgeous Parmigiani Fleurier Toric watches have had me wondering which model would be my personal absolute top choice: and I think it could be this rose gold grey dial Toric Memory Time, ref. C00840...
Very beautiful Toric Memory Time.
I especially like the first photo with the calfskin strap. The small graining of the strap complements the guilloche of the center dial perfectly. At 36mm diameter, the Memory Time is a wonderful early Toric for a smaller wrist. Thanks for sharing these i...
I completely agree with you on the first photo.
I think this 36mm case would fit my smaller wrist perfectly. Hoping to see one in real life someday. Thanks for your reaction. Best, Emmanuel
The shades of grey and pink gold are beautifully interwoven.
It looks particularly wonderful in natural light! Cheers, Filip
Yes, the mix of grey and gold really speaks to my heart.
Thanks for chiming in, Filip! Best, Emmanuel

Thank you, Marc.
I also think that this 36mm case would be very nice on my wrist and I can imagine the pleasure you have wearing your Pasha! Thanks for chiming in. Best, Emmanuel
It’s gorgeous!
I’ve been recently enchanted by PF, partly thanks to your previous post and partly that I had one on my wrist for the first time and was smitten with the fineness of the work. I’ve had my eye on the first version of the perpetual calendar and also the sim...
I'm still waiting to be able to see one of these early Torics in real life.
I'm not surprised that you liked the one you've been trying on. The retrograde perpetual calendar and the automatic are also gorgeous pieces, with a slightly larger diameter, if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, thanks for chiming in. Best, Emmanuel
For me, it's one of the best cases ever
Too bad case work in general is underappreciated. The original Ionica has a similar beauitful case.
I couldn’t agree more: one of the best cases ever.
As for the Ionica, I love it and gave it the first place in my thread on a few shaped calibers . Best, Emmanuel
That’s a winner.
36mm is an excellent size. And 99 out of 100 times I’d choose RG over a white metal case. Hope you get to see one and be unable to take it off your wrist. 😊
I like the first strap too, but the green/gray is very nice indeed.
Anyway, it’s such a beautiful watch. Thank you, Derreck. Best, Emmanuel
I really like the case of the Toric and treatment of the buckle.
The olive gator strap in the last few pix works very well!
I completely agree: Michel Parmigiani has designed a very nice buckle to match the case.
I also like the gator strap but find that the grained calf one on the first pic works very well too. Thanks for chiming in. Best, Emmanuel
Impeccable taste, Emmanuel.
One day, I will acquire one of these original, double step Toric cased watches. They are really one of a kind.
I think so too and hope to find one someday (this model if possible).
Thank you, Michael and have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel
it does look amazing in that configuration
the rose gold/grey dial...sumptuous! i'd love to know how many of these were made... not many I expect. good luck in the hunt, N.
I’m glad you like this configuration too!
Have a great weekend, Neil. Cheers, Emmanuel
That’s me!
Wow, was not expecting to see my post here, thanks for sharing! It’s a saffiano strap from @Trib3ka I ended up swapping the RG memory time for a platinum one when the opportunity presented itself. ...
Your photo is really stunning:
I hope you don’t mind that I’ve used it. And your Pt variant looks wonderful too. I have a personal preference for rose gold, but the monochromatic look of the Pt is very attractive too. Cheers, Emmanuel
