The Parmigiani Fleurier SPORTCHRONOGRAPHROSE GOLD SANDSTONE Is a Slice of Summer Perfection

Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Sandstone — a name that rolls off the tongue like a warm breeze across Sicilian shores. This is not just a chronograph; it’s a moment of cultivated stillness rendered in 18ct rose gold. A timepiece for those who understand that elegance and precision are not opposites — they are accomplices.

Beneath the summer-glow exterior lies the heart of a technical marvel: the COSC-certified PF070 movement, humming at 36,000 vibrations per hour. It’s a purist’s engine — high-frequency, column-wheel driven, and boasting a 65-hour power reserve, courtesy of its skeletonized 22ct rose gold oscillating weight. Performance? Unquestionable.

And yet, the Sandstone knows when to breathe. Its rubber strap, finished in the distinct Tufo tone — inspired by sun-bleached Mediterranean stone — evokes the rugged elegance of Cordura, but with the craftsmanship of hand-stitched leather. It’s tactile. Textured. Effortlessly refined. Discover the strap here (scroll to the design section).

The dial? A canvas of silver guilloché etched with Parmigiani’s Triangular Nail pattern, catching light like ripples on the Tyrrhenian Sea. Sub-dials in warm sandstone punctuate the face like ancient ruins on a sun-baked coast.

This is a timepiece for the discerning — for those who drift from yacht deck to café terrace, who time not just laps, but perfect pauses in the day. It’s sport, it’s style, it’s South-of-France serenity with a Swiss soul.
