Parmigiani Tonda PF Hijri Perpetual Calendar SS Viridian Green Dial

The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Hijri Perpetual Calendar ref. PFH983-1020001-100182, introduced in 2023, is one of the more unusual calendar watches to appear in recent years. It is part of Parmigiani Fleurier's Cultural Calendars series and, instead of reworking the standard Gregorian format, it is built around the lunar Hijri calendar. The watch comes in a 42 mm stainless steel case with the Tonda PF collection's platinum knurled bezel, a combination that keeps the look restrained but gives it real presence on the wrist. The viridian green Grain d'Orge guilloche dial adds texture without clutter, and the blue aventurine moonphase display ties the design back to the astronomical basis of the calendar. Inside is the automatic in-house caliber PF009, developed for this complication and finished to the standard expected from Parmigiani Fleurier. It has a platinum skeletonized rotor and a 48-hour power reserve. The display tracks the 30-year Hijri cycle, accounting for both common and abundant years, and lays out that information with impressive clarity. This highly specialized watch has clear appeal for collectors who pay attention to independent watchmaking and uncommon complications. For anyone interested in alternative calendar systems, refined finishing, and thoughtful mechanics, the Tonda PF Hijri Perpetual Calendar is a particularly original modern complicated watch.
