Practical debut: Parmigiani Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Rose Gold Sandstein Clock

Practical debut: Parmigiani Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Rose Gold Sandstein Clock

One of the great strengths of Parmigiani'S Tonda PF family is their softer, more curvy attitude to the integrated Sports Watch concept. In a segment led by Angular, this flowing, rounded shape forms its own charm, and this unique character significantly changes how it appears in different colors. The latest iteration of the brand is a textbook example for this ability to change familiar color pallets. In a rich rose gold and silver color, which could easily act as too conspicuous or too fine feminine, the new Parmigiani Tonda Pf Sport Chronograph Rosegold Sandstone meets an elegant balance and creates one of the most convincing sports watches in the summer.

As with earlier iterations, the Parmigiani Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Roségold -Sandstein -18 -Karg -Karg -Karg -Karg housing is 42 mm wide and 12.9 mm thick. While these proportions on the wrist can sound with strong and impressive craft (after all, this is the sportier iteration of the Basistonda PF silhouette), this design is as smaller and more on the wrist adjustment than many of its similarly large competitors. As always, the semi-off, semi-integrated French curve steal the show here with a masterfully executed, wrapped polished surface, which adds bright work to the upper housing and halves the horizontal brushes of the case pages. The arched, tear-shaped chronograph presser in a naturally manifests these forms at 2 a.m. and 4 o'clock and emphasizes the coherent, uniform feeling of design. In view of the fact that this is a Tonda PF sports model, this new iteration takes on the brave, more gripped version of the famous “split” sacrifice of the line, but the idea that this is a chunky, aggressive design is relative. As it looks, there are 160 individual slim crumbs that catch the light smoothly and elegantly on the wrist. Of course, none of this is strictly new, but the rose gold treatment gives this familiar design more punch and gravitas on the wrist. Against the background of the Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Roségold -Sandstein, the watch has a sapphire caseback and Parmigiani for a decent 100 meter water resistance.



Although it cannot appear as such under all lighting conditions, the Parmigiani Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Roségold-Sandstein actually uses a two-tone dial. The main electoral surface is rendered in light, fine -grained silver, which is structured with the confidante of the line Clou triangulaire Guilloche pattern to add a striking row of highlights and shadows. For the moved out external minutes and the subdials, Parmigiani opted for a smooth, matt shade as a “sandstone”. This pale, slightly warm gray tone fits into its surroundings in direct light, but in sloping angles it takes on a subtly darker, warmer tone that gives a largely minimalist layout depth and complexity. As with earlier chronographs from Tonda PF Sport, this minimalist presentation is a bit of a double -edged sword. Each of the simple, polished subdial hands with rose gold is a touch that is too short to reach their respective scales. This makes the chronograph readings of A-glance chronographs difficult. Nevertheless, the skeletonized alpha mobile part and the minutive, sloping indices offer a greater contrast to their surroundings than in white metal versions, which helps the regular readability of the time measurement. The Tonda PF Sportline has always kept its dial presentation luxurious but minimal, and for this new iteration, Parmigiani goes one step further in this direction. The Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Roségold -Sandstein leaves the controversial 4:30 date window of the line, which leads to a really convincing sense of visual balance and flow over the dial.

Like its predecessors, the Parmigiani Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Roségold-Sandstein is equipped with the automatic chronograph movement PF070. The presentation of the PF070 is largely unchanged compared to earlier iterations, but this is anything but a problem – this remains a breathtaking display through the fallback. Each of the strongly skeletonized bridges is crowned with light, crispy -defined arabesque waves and highlighted with a beautifully polished angle. Selected elements such as the column wheel are lovingly framed by these bridges, making a thoughtful balance between spectacle and visual comprehensibility. The 22 -km gold drotor on this movement is another outstanding brush, polished anglage, matching increased polished font, matt icing and sharply defined engraving. The PF070 is also impressive in terms of performance, and the COSC-certified chronometer accuracy as well as a 65-hour electricity reserve and a butter-like 36,000 BPH strokes.

To complete the package, Parmigiani fits the Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Roségold-Sandstein with a half-integrated fabric-effect rubber insert belt. The brand refers to the warm, linen-like, the off-white color of this strap as a “tufo”, which is named after a similarly colored volcanic stone that can be found on the islands around the Mediterranean. Apart from romantic associations in the old world, it is a color that feels like at home with sunshine and airy summer wardrobes, and one that complements the pale gray tones of the subdials without excluding the overall presentation. With this low, contrasting look, the rose gold and the appropriate signed mountain dress (literally and in a figurative sense) can add sufficient details and character to the signed deployment (literally and figuratively) in order to reward close appreciation.



Parmigianis less aggressive, plus assumption of the integrated sports watch may still be a dark horse in this market segment, but its distinctive character lets it really shine in colors that would stumble across competitors. The new Pamigiani Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Roségold -Sandstein is perhaps the best example of this previous strength, with a brilliant balance between heat and delicacy, which makes it one of the most fascinating sports watches in the summer of 2025. The Parmeriani Tonder PF Sport Chronograph Rose Gold Sandstein is now available by authorized dealers. MSRP for this watch is at $ 53,100 USD At the time of the press.
