Parmigiani Fleurier's 30th-anniversary novelties span a spectrum of complications from elemental to extraordinary. The Toric Chronographe Rattrapante Anniversaire occupies the extreme end of that spectrum: a split-seconds chronograph in platinum with a hand-hammered gold dial and an 18K rose gold movement, presented at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026 in a 30-piece limited edition that functions simultaneously as a horological instrument and a declared objet d’art.
Things to Know About the Watch
The 42.5 mm platinum case, at 14.4mm thick, is the largest canvas in the novelties, and it requires every millimeter. Two oval pushers at two and four o'clock operate the chronograph, and a pusher integrated into the crown controls the split-seconds function, housed within the Toric's architecturally precise case geometry and framed by the signature knurled bezel—here matched, for the first time in the collection, by an identically finished caseback. The Agave Blue hand-hammered 18K white gold dial shares the same production method as its stablemates—60 individual manual operations, no two identical—though its darker, more complex hue creates a different chromatic register entirely. The watch is limited to 30 numbered pieces.
The Movement
The PF361 manufacture calibre is a manual-wound movement in 18K rose gold, and operates at a high-frequency of 36,000 vph (5 Hz) with 285 components and a 65-hour power reserve. Its split-seconds mechanism is governed by dual column wheels, with a vertical clutch and a flexible monolithic clamp. The open-worked architecture is satin-finished and hand-beveled throughout—the movement is as much to be looked at as the dial.
On the Wrist & Price
The Toric Chronographe Rattrapante is substantial on the wrist in both dimensions and material—the total weight of the watch is 180 grams. Platinum at 42.5 mm reads differently from gold at the same size, and the combination with the deep Agave Blue dial gives the piece a gravity that dresses the complication without softening it.
The most technically advanced expression of Parmigiani Fleurier's anniversary year, this watch makes a case for the split-seconds rattrapante as the supreme expression of haute horlogerie finishing.
