Parmigiani Fleurier Tondagraph GT
New from Parmigiani Fleurier is the Tondagraph GT with bicolour slivered dials. Both models envisage that typical contemporary “Panda” aesthetic, particularly so with the stainless steel model that is paired with either a rubber strap or steel bracelet. The gold model, also available on a rubber strap or matching gold bracelet looks far more opulent and bold, while both models clearly continue Parmigiani Fleurier’s thematic and distinct approach to its watchmaking.
