Parmigiani Fleurier Kalpa Grande PF006811.01
Parmigiani have seen interest in their brand grow exponentially over the past couple of years, and its well deserved. Long sitting in the shadows, a large part of their business is manufacturing components and restoring pieces for other brands such is their expertise in all forms of watchmaking.
In recent years they've struck gold with their updated Tonda line, but delve a little deeper and you'll find some real gems in their back-catalogue, which are now truly starting to be appreciated. The Kalpa series was introduced in 2001, and was a staple of their range for a long time. It's distinctive Tonneau case has housed many a complication, but the version we have here is a relatively simple time and date, executed with Parmigiani's typical attention to detail, and is one of our favourites from the Kalpa range.
The Grande case is made in steel and measures in at 34mm x 44mm including the beautiful curved lugs. It houses a beautiful silver dial with Guilloche inner section, black printed numerals and expanded date window at 6. Powering it is the in-house PF331, Parmigiani's first automatic movement that is very nicely finished and can be viewed through the sapphire portion of the caseback.
This particular piece would date from the 2000's and presents in good condition. The case shows some dings, nicks and scratches commensurate with its age. The dial is excellent, with no visible signs of wear. The minute hand shows some cracking through the black inlay. There's a small chip on the crystal between 2 and 3 toward the outer edge. Please see images for full condition details.
Comes mounted to a lovely blue ColaReb Bologna Italian Handmade calf leather strap on Parmigiani steel deployant.
