Parmigiani

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...  

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 think this 36mm case would fit my smaller wrist perfectly. Hoping to see one in real life someday. Thanks for your reaction. Best, Emmanuel

It looks particularly wonderful in natural light! Cheers, Filip

Thanks for chiming in, Filip! Best, Emmanuel

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... 

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

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 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

Thanks for chiming in. Best, Emmanuel

Too bad case work in general is underappreciated. The original Ionica has a similar beauitful case.

As for the Ionica, I love it and gave it the first place in my thread on a few shaped calibers . Best, Emmanuel

Grail territory indeed. Best, Emmanuel

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. 😊

Best, Emmanuel

Thanks for your enthusiasm. Best, Emmanuel

Especially with that green/grey strap.

Anyway, it’s such a beautiful watch. Thank you, Derreck. Best, Emmanuel

The olive gator strap in the last few pix works very well!

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

Best, Emmanuel

One day, I will acquire one of these original, double step Toric cased watches. They are really one of a kind.

Thank you, Michael and have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel

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.

Have a great weekend, Neil. Cheers, Emmanuel

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. ...  

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

for these early pieces.
