Parmigiani Quantième Perpétuel Rétrograde Makes its U.S. Debut at WatchTime L.A. Event
Among its new timepieces unveiled at SIHH 2019, Parmigiani Fleurier introduced the most complicated model yet in its recently revived Toric collection, the Toric Quantième Perpétuel Rétrograde ? a perpetual calendar with a retrograde date and an ultra-precise moon-phase. On May 3-4, the watch, which wowed the invitation-only media and retail crowd in Geneva back in January, finds its way to American aficionados for the first time at WatchTime Los Angeles. Here’s a closer look.

The watch features the Toric collection’s characteristic curved case with hand-knurled bezel, here measuring 42.5 mm in diameter and a relatively slender 12.1 mm thick and made of 18k rose gold with a polished finish. The crown of this model is topped with a blue cabochon, while the dial is offered in two distinctively decorative versions: slate gray with a radiating pinecone guilloché effect (a style introduced in the collection’s flagship Toric Chronomètre model also launched at SIHH), and a white-grained finish achieved by a process that is exclusive to Parmigiani Fleurier watchmakers. Inside the case, visible beneath a clear sapphire caseback, is Parmigiani’s manufacture Caliber PF333, the self-winding movement that drives the timepiece’s array of timekeeping and calendar functions. The self-winding PF333 caliber is visible through the caseback.
Those functions are elegantly arranged on...
