Founded by the master watchmaker Michel Parmigiani in 1996, Parmigiani Fleurier is based on a unique culture of watch restoration and has completed many in-house calibres including the eight-day mechanical movement. The brand presents rare and unique pieces which embody the best of their in-house mastery of horology and technical expertise.
The present watch was produced in a limited production of only two pieces for a themed collection called Tematica Venice. Each watch presented with finely crafted champlevé Venice style enamel in either red or blue and with the calibre 24’’’ movement with 8-day power reserve, the present watch being the red version. Developed and beautifully hand finished in the Parmigiani workshop this unique piece is a fine example of their exquisite craftsmanship.
