Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda 1950

About this reference

The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda 1950 in 18k rose gold was introduced in 2011 and remained a core catalog offering until the brand’s aesthetic shift under new leadership around 2021. Collectors target this reference for the ultra-thin Calibre PF701, an in-house automatic movement measuring 2.6mm thick, featuring a platinum micro-rotor and Côtes de Genève finishing. The 39mm case is characterized by the brand’s signature teardrop lugs and a minimalist dial often finished in grained white or graphite with applied rose gold indices. This model represents the brand’s foundational commitment to Vaucher-manufactured movements and classical proportions. On the secondary market, these rose gold references typically trade between $8,000 and $12,000 depending on the presence of the original tang buckle or deployant clasp. A notable production variant includes the "Edition Spéciale" featuring a meteorite dial, which commands a premium over the standard grained dial versions.
