Parmigiani Fleurier Unveils Tonda PF Skeleton 'Milano Blue' in Rose Gold
New Limited Edition Combines Milano Blue Skeletonized Dial with Rose Gold Case
Parmigiani Fleurier has announced a new limited-edition version of its acclaimed Tonda PF Skeleton, combining the Milano Blue skeletonized dial with a rose gold case and bracelet. The watch, unveiled ahead of Geneva Watch Days 2026, represents a new evolution for the Swiss independent watchmaker.
According to Hodinkee, this marks the first time the Milano Blue skeletonized dial and movement — previously available only in platinum — have been paired with a rose gold Tonda PF case. The combination creates what the brand describes as a contemporary take on haute horlogerie skeletonization.
Design and Specifications
The Tonda PF Skeleton features Parmigiani's signature case design, measuring 40mm in diameter and just 8.5mm thick. The rose gold case provides a warm contrast to the striking Milano Blue skeletonized dial, which showcases the in-house PF777 automatic movement.

The Movement: PF777
The heart of the Tonda PF Skeleton is Parmigiani's in-house PF777 automatic movement. Unlike many skeletonized watches that simply remove material from existing calibers, the PF777 was purpose-built from the ground up with skeletonization in mind. This approach ensures optimal legibility and structural integrity while showcasing the movement's architecture.

The movement features a blend of polished, satin-finished, and sandblasted surfaces that give it a contemporary aesthetic while maintaining traditional finishing standards.
Brand Evolution
Parmigiani Fleurier has been undergoing a significant transformation in recent years, evolving from a small independent watchmaker driven by one man's creative vision to a serious high-end brand. The Tonda PF Skeleton represents an important part of this evolution, demonstrating the brand's ability to produce consistent, high-quality timepieces.
According to Hodinkee, watches like the Tonda PF Skeleton are "a solid double" — not necessarily the most dramatic releases, but important pieces that help grow and develop the brand through consistent quality.

FAQ
What makes the PF777 movement special for skeleton watches?
Unlike most skeletonized watches that remove material from existing movements, the PF777 was designed from scratch with skeletonization in mind. This ensures better legibility, structural integrity, and a more cohesive aesthetic design.
How does the rose gold version differ from the platinum model?
The rose gold version brings a warmer, more luxurious aesthetic compared to the cooler tones of platinum. The combination of rose gold with the Milano Blue dial creates a striking contrast that appeals to collectors seeking a more contemporary look.
Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?
With 100m water resistance and a robust rose gold construction, the Tonda PF Skeleton is designed for both special occasions and daily wear, though its $117,100 price point suggests it will likely be reserved for collections rather than daily use.
