Catalogue Essay
Michel Parmigiani is certainly one of the most talented watchmakers of his generation. He hesitated at length between pursuing a degree in architecture or watchmaking and finally decided on the latter but all his work has been inspired by the former.
At just the age of 26 he opened his own restoration workshops in 1976 and soon after began creating unique timepieces for his discerning clientele.
Parmigiani’s workshops were known to restore the most important pieces ever made and even restoring watches and clocks that were deemed impossible to restore, including one of Breguet's original Sympathie clocks.
Michel Parmigiani launched his eponymous brand in 1996 and launched his first wristwatch model in 1998: The Toric. The models featured single or double stepped knurled bezels, javelin hands and often intricate guilloché dials.
The Toric perpetual calendar was first launched in 1999 and featured an extremely legible dial with the day and month indications read via apertures, the date indicated by a retrograde hand (a true novelty for the epoch), the leap year indicator at the top of the dial and moonphase indication at 6 o’clock.
Serviced at Parmigiani in 2022, the present Toric Perpetual Calendar in 18K white gold displays a striking black guilloché dial and is presented as a complete set preserved in excellent condition.
