The Art Of The Time: Parmigiani Fleurier’s Toric Perpetual Calendar
I don’t know why, but the review of the new Parmigiani Fleurier Toric Perpetual Calendar has been delayed. As they say, we always leave the best for last—and this watch certainly belongs in that category. While we would have loved to see it in a slightly smaller case, the world isn’t perfect, and neither are our preferences. Still, there’s a lot to admire here.
Unveiled at Watches & Wonders 2025, the latest addition to the Toric collection elevates the art of traditional watchmaking with a masterful interpretation of one of horology’s most complex complications. Encased in precious metal, the timepiece reflects the collection’s signature design language—an elegant blend of symmetry, minimalism, and mechanical sophistication that reveals the depth of craftsmanship at its core.
The Toric Perpetual Calendar is available in two 40.6mm case variations: 950 platinum and 18k rose gold, each measuring a svelte 10.9mm in height. Both feature the Toric’s distinctive knurled bezel—a signature design element rooted in classical architecture and geometry. The case lines are polished throughout, contributing to its role as an elegant dress watch.
At the heart of the watch is a manually wound movement: the Calibre PF733. This rose gold movement integrates a perpetual calendar module atop the base architecture used in the Toric Small Seconds model. Comprising 265 components, the calibre operates at 4 Hz and offers a 60-hour power reserve from twin barrels. The movement is visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, revealing geometric bridges adorned with the brand’s proprietary Côtes de Fleurier finishing and a sandblasted gold mainplate.
The dial of each version offers a distinct visual identity. The platinum model is equipped with a “Morning Blue” dial, while the rose gold variant features a “Golden Hour” dial. Both are finished with a traditional grenage technique, creating a velvety matte surface that subtly plays with light. A recessed ring encircles the central portion of the dial, enhancing legibility and depth. The perpetual calendar indications are arranged coaxially at 4 and 8 o’clock and are framed in gold, matching the case material. An applied oval PF logo sits just below the 12 o’clock position.
Hour markers, crafted from either white or rose gold, are applied along the gently curved perimeter. The hour and minute hands follow Parmigiani’s signature delta-shaped profile, also rendered in gold. Notably, there is no luminescence or extraneous text on the dial, allowing the essential time and calendar information to take visual precedence.
The perpetual calendar function accounts for the complexities of leap years, automatically adjusting for months with varying lengths. Date correction is handled via three discreet correctors integrated into the side of the case.
Each version of the Toric Perpetual Calendar is paired with a hand-stitched, Arctic Grey nubuck alligator strap featuring a pin buckle that matches the case material. Limited to 50 pieces per variant, pricing is set at CHF 92,000 for the platinum model and CHF 85,000 for the rose gold edition.
Though not as compact as we might have wished, the Toric Perpetual Calendar more than compensates with its balance of classical aesthetics, high-end finishing, and mechanical depth. It’s a quiet statement for those who appreciate watchmaking’s more contemplative side.
