What is the Tonda PF Automatic 36mm Alta Rosa?
It is the brand’s 36 mm time-only watch with a stainless steel case and integrated bracelet featuring a pink or rose tone dial. It joins the Tonda PF Automatic 36 mm lineup which includes models with different dial colours in both stainless steel and precious metals, including with a leather strap.
“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.”

What are its dial features?
It’s rose tone dial features the brand’s Grain d’Orge hand-guilloché finish. Its skeletonised delta-shaped hands and applied hour-markers made from rhodium-plated 18K gold.
“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.”
What are its case and bracelet features?
It’s case is made from polished and satin-finished stainless steel. The knurled bezel is made from 950 platinum. The case measures 36.1 mm (diameter) * 8.6 mm (thickness). Dial side features an ARunic anti-reflective sapphire crystal, and the caseback a sapphire crystal. Water resistant up to 100 metres. The integrated bracelet is made from polished and satin-finished stainless steel and is fitted with a stainless steel folding clasp.
Is it powered by an automatic movement?
Yes. It is powered by PF770-HM, a manufacture automatic movement that drives the hours and minutes. It measures 25.6 mm or 11 ½ lignes (diameter) * 3.9 mm (thickness), comprises of 179 parts and 29 jewels, beats at a modern rate of 4 Hz or 28,800 vph and has a power reserve of 60 hours. Movement finishing includes Côtes de Genève and hand-bevelled bridges.
What do we think?
Parmigiani Fleurier excels in crafting simple watches. Except there is nothing “simple” about them once you consider the dial details, elegant case and integrated bracelet construction, and movement finishing. The Tonda PF Automatic 36mm Alta Rosa is a worthy addition to the Tonda PF lineup and will appeal to both men and women collectors seeking an elegant and versatile two-hand watch.
