The Parmigiani Kalpa XL Hebmomadaire Squelette (LE30) - 30 Years of watchmaking
These were made before hand-finished mirror polished interior angles went viral. I counted over 120 and gave up. Practically every form of high horology finishing has been applied (hand-hammering, Engraving, black polish, wide counter-sinks, sharp interior-angle galore, sharp exterior angles, skeletonization, heat blued steel etc) . The movement is made of solid 18k Gold. The complex case is made of Palladium 950. The downturned lugs makes it a comfortable wear even on a small wrist, albeit with a slightly larger look.
Enjoy.

The palladium case looks bright. I've read that palladium is a bright white metal even more than platinum but I've not handled a palladium watch in person. What is the "118" engraved in the movement bridgework? Thanks for sharing. M4
It does - it is brighter than my WG piece.
The 118 is the movement model number. The 118 is based on the PF110 which is one of the first (if not the first) in-house movment from the house of Parmigiani. The PF110 saw the light of the day in the Ionica model. Practically 8 days of power reserve, th...
