Watches with impeccable in-house craft credentials are normally out of bounds to most collectors, but Parmigiani Fleurier has made it possible to enjoy top-grade, low-volume watches at very accessible prices. 

Hailed as Parmigiani's first sports watch, the Tonda GT is discreet yet distinctive with its charcoal guilloché dial, big date and "millerighe" style finely-fluted bezel. Made in a limited edition of only 250 pieces. True in-house production, the watch has a self-winding movement with 45-hour run time, solid gold winding rotor, is waterproof to 100 metres and has sapphire crystals front and rear. 

In perfect unworn condition, the watch is supplied with its original box and UK-origin certificate.

Before setting up his eponymous watch company in association with the Sandoz Foundation, founder Michel Parmigiani spent years as a high-grade watch restorer working with the Patek Philippe Museum and the Museum of Horology in Le Locle. They make everything, including cases, dials and movements, specialising in industry rarities such as hairsprings and escapements. The connoisseur's insider secret – long-time wearers include no less than His Majesty the King!
