Designer
Gérald Genta
Gérald Genta (1931–2011) trained as a goldsmith in Geneva and became the most influential watch designer of the 20th century. Working freelance, he sketched the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak overnight in 1970, followed by the Patek Philippe Nautilus, the IWC Ingenieur SL and the Bulgari Bulgari — defining the integrated-bracelet luxury sports watch as a category.
Historical significance
Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT 37 mm Green Sapphire sits within Parmigiani Fleurier's Tonda GT line, introduced in 1999. It carries the house codes established since 1996 — sapphire crystal case case, green sunburst dial and in-house automatic chronograph — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.
Interesting facts
- The reference was originally planned as a one-year run and stayed in the catalogue for well over a decade.
- The bracelet tapers across its length, which is why the profile looks thinner on the wrist than the specification suggests.

Brand history
Parmigiani Fleurier has spent more than 30 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's Tonda PF, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.
Michel Parmigiani established Parmigiani Fleurier in 1996, working from Switzerland at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every Parmigiani Fleurier calibre produced today.
