With Alta Rosa, Parmigiani Fleurier introduces a new expression of the Tonda PF Automatic 36 mm, not as a colour variation, but as the continuation of a coherent chromatic and architectural research.
At Parmigiani Fleurier, each new tone is conceived as part of a palette built over time, not a succession of effects, but a disciplined exploration of nuance that gradually defines the Maison’s visual language.
Colour is never treated as an applied effect. It is approached with the same care as a calibre: calibrated, contextual, and inseparable from proportion, light and material. Here, time is not conceived as a statement, but as a presence: calm, assured, quietly choreographed.
Alta Rosa belongs to this logic, which underpins every recent interpretation of the Tonda PF collection.

The rose tone of Alta Rosa is neither decorative nor symbolic. It is conceived as a mineral chromatic field, restrained and composed, designed to evolve according to light rather than dominate it.
The light here is never frontal. It is soft, diffused, almost filtered, as if passing through a veiled atmosphere rather than striking a surface.
From the outset, the Grain d’Orge guilloché of the Tonda PF collection was conceived as a language rather than a motif. A surface designed to receive light, to temper it, and to return it with restraint. In the Tonda PF, guilloché is not ornamentation, but structure; a deliberate way of shaping light so that colour, relief and reflection speak together in a coherent horological grammar.
Seen through the sapphire crystal and its anti-reflective treatment, it reveals depth without insistence, enriching the dial while preserving its quiet balance.
What results is not a visual effect, but a sensation, a dial that seems to breathe with the light, revealing its depth only to a patient gaze.
Applied 18ct gold rhodium-plated indices and skeletonised delta-shaped hands reinforce this philosophy. Reduced to their essential geometry, they ensure legibility while maintaining the dial’s compositional equilibrium.
Housed in a 36 mm stainless steel case, Alta Rosa is defined by proportion rather than presence. Its slim profile and the measured alternation of polished and satin finishes allow light to glide across surfaces rather than fragment them.
On the wrist, this proportion translates into a sense of ease a watch that occupies space without ever imposing itself.
The platinum 950 knurled bezel, emblematic of the Tonda PF collection introduces a discreet precious element, perceptible through touch as much as through sight. A sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment preserves optical clarity, while 100 metres of water resistance ensures everyday usability.

Alta Rosa is powered by the in-house PF770 automatic manufacture calibre, developed and produced within Parmigiani Fleurier’s workshops.
Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offering a 60-hour power reserve, the movement combines reliability with refined finishing. Visible through the sapphire case back, it features Côtes de Genève and hand-bevelled bridges.
The skeletonised 22ct rose gold oscillating weight polished and sandblasted subtly echoes the dial’s tonality. Here again, continuity prevails over contrast.
Within the Tonda PF collection, Alta Rosa does not represent a stylistic departure. It refines an established language. As with architecture or modern painting, Parmigiani Fleurier approaches continuity not as repetition, but as coherence, the patient construction of a vocabulary where colour, light and proportion evolve together.
The 36 mm format, historically rooted in classical watchmaking, reinforces this approach: a scale chosen for balance and precision, not for trend or gender.
With Alta Rosa, this philosophy finds a new tonal expression, emotional yet composed, contemporary yet timeless.
A rose held in suspension. A watch in balance. Time, gently elevated.
