Evoking the virtuosity of renowned 18th century horologist Abraham-Louis Breguet, the Parmigiani Fleurier Toric collection integrates both time-honored complications and avant-garde ingenuity. Its evocative name derives from the toroidal forms evident in the collection's stepped, fluted bezels, drawing design inspiration from Hellenic and Roman architecture and the Golden Ratio's sublime curvature.

The Toric Tourbillon exemplifies Parmigiani's mastery, its open-worked dial and sapphire caseback framing the meticulously finished PF280 calibre. Abiding by exacting Geneva Seal standards, the movement's finishes are superb - deep perlage patterns, anglage beveling, even the screw inserts display immaculate finesse, testifying to Michel Parmigiani and his watchmakers' peerless skills.

On the silvered dial, blue steel hands are heat-blued and polished to a mirror shine. Beveled waves create entrancing optical effects, dividing the dial into hemispheres. At six o'clock, a mesmerizing tourbillon cage reveals the opalescent baseplate with its circular graining and gilded gears. Blued screws provide vivid contrast to the argenté palette, their symmetry echoed in the jewels at 12 and 6 o'clock. Three screws are judiciously placed each side, completing the composition.

The present Toric Tourbillon is encased in a 40mm platinum case, numbered 5 of a limited edition of 10 pieces only. Extremely rare and well-preserved with its full set of accessories, this limited edition also comes with an enamel caseback, an exquisite detail that makes this watch all that more special and worthy of any collection.
