The story behind this Parmigiani Fleurier Kalpa
With its Kalpa collection, Parmigiani Fleurier offers a unique take on contemporary watchmaking. Designed by Michel Parmigiani, this watch is the result of a quest for ergonomic comfort when worn. Its geometric design is based on the golden ratio. The teardrop-shaped lugs were developed according to the Fibonacci sequence to follow the curve of the human wrist. This timepiece is characterised by its asymmetrical architecture and occupies a distinct technical position within the brand’s catalogue.
Case, movement and strap of this Kalpa
Crafted from 18-carat rose gold, the tonneau-shaped case features a continuously curved profile. The sapphire crystal protects an ivory dial highlighted by a guilloché centre featuring a wave motif. The hours and minutes are indicated by delta-shaped skeletonised hands in blued steel, sweeping across applied Roman numerals in gold. The self-winding mechanical movement, calibre PF145, beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and guarantees a power reserve of 40 hours. The transparent case back reveals an engraved oscillating weight and components finished to the manufacture’s standards. The watch is water-resistant to 30 metres. The bracelet, crafted entirely from rose gold, is secured by an invisible folding clasp.
Why this Parmigiani Fleurier watch
This model on the second-hand market stands out for its bracelet, crafted entirely from solid gold – a less common variant than models fitted with leather straps. This material feature offers a substantial and well-balanced feel on the wrist. It is aimed at buyers seeking a timepiece with a refined design and traditional watchmaking finishes.
