Gorgeous extravagance
One of the most appealing and even fascinating extravagant watches is the Parmigiani Fleurier Ovale Pantographe, first shown as a prototype in 2011.
Presented here is the rose gold variant with white lacquer dial, blue numerals and blued hands, ref. PFH775-1005401-HA3131.
If you want to see the white gold variant, please check the photos that our dear Gerard aka jlux has posted of his own wonderful example: for example here.
Because of its extravagant design, this watch does not get all the love and attention I think it deserves.
Hopefully, this post will contribute to draw attention to this little marvel.
Best, Emmanuel

I'm glad to hear that! Except for the "never to be had", of course!
I really hope you can find and afford one someday. Best wishes, Emmanuel
It’s a very unique piece and has been designed
with great attention to detail and craftsmanship.
One of the few watches on my ‚definite‘ to get lost 👌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
For me preferably in WG, though. I simply love those hands and the idea behind them 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes, there is so much to love about this timepiece.
Original, playful, characterful and refined. Best, Emmanuel
The pantographe hands get all of the attention but, for me, the oval case is the star of the show.
Not to go unmentioned, the hebdomadaire movement is the co-star. Thanks for posting Emmanuel. M4
You are so right to point out the oval case.
This watch is a whole: case, lugs, hands, movement, each part contributes to creating a fascinating timepiece. Best, Emmanuel
One of my favorite “extravagant” pieces
Though I believe I prefer the white gold version.
Beautiful watch, very surprising but very appealing!
Thanks for sharing! I hope to be able to see one in person one day.
Me too, I haven't had the chance to so one yet!
And a warm welcome to WatchProSite! Best, Emmanuel
Gorgeous macro shots - thanks for sharing!
Truly one of the most marvelous things Parmigiani has ever done. This watch has been on my "Want List" for a looooong time.
