Parmigiani Fleurier LA ROSE CARRÉE. Golden Hands at work. Restoration at its best.

#ParmigianiFleurier #Parmigiani #TimeIsFlying ‪@ParmigianiFleurier‬
As the grand finale of its 25th anniversary, PARMIGIANI FLEURIER releases a truly peerless and quintessential timepiece. LA ROSE CARRÉE IS a one-off, 64 mm, white gold, double hunter pocket watch featuring the most advanced craftsmanship and historical heritage. Inside lies an original movement made by legendary watchmaker Louis-Elisée Piguet somewhere between 1898 and 1904, at the peak of his creativity and craft. This rare object of the past showcases a grande sonnerie and minute repeater, and has been fully restored while preserving its authenticity. A Rose Carrée or “squared rose” pattern engraving spans the entirety of this legacy movement, as well as the newly designed case, which is coated in translucent grand feu enamel, creating complex shades of blue. La Rose Carrée is a testament to the genius of the watchmakers of yesteryear and to the talented artisans of today. A confluence of the past and present, it is literally a unique work of watchmaking, art, and craft.

as a PF owner, I always feel that PF is ridiculously underrated, especially their old models. Their finishing on movement is incredible, considering their price. Big thanks to Alexander and your team for introducing this piece of art

[@WatchAdvisor]

So true what you write… I am happy that you liked the video. Thanks for sharing our passion!

[@tonylee-UK]

PF cannot put a foot wrong lately. Anything they design and create is stunning. Whoever owns that pocket watch is extremely privileged. It's the most beautiful pocket watch I've ever seen. Thank you Alexander & team for sharing it with us.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Well said, thanks for sharing our passion once again!

You're a lucky man Alexander!
Beautiful work by the atelier

[@WatchAdvisor]

I am a lucky man since almost 30 years doing what I am doing... I never had the feeling I am "working" I always enjoyed what I did and still do ...

[@donjuan150]

Having the man himself there...much respect. Early Parmigiani and early Chronoswiss were my grails and still are....

[@WatchAdvisor]

There is one little difference: Michel is still active in the business, whilst Gerd-Rüdiger had to sell his company since he ran out of money…

[@meyergoldstein6208]
