I can imagine it might work on some pieces ... but not this one
Parmigiani Ionica White Gold: Outdated?
I have to confess that I am not a big fan of " mannered " bezels, in general. See, for example, some Rolex with their fluted bezels. Here, we don't have one, but a " two step " bezel. So, logically, it shouldn't please me. But, because there is a but, I w...
I have never seen one in person...
...but going by the photos the case, dial, and movement are epic. It really looks gorgeous in photos.
Very nice description Nico
Personally I would not say outdated but deliciously dated for this PF has a lot of charm and is simply exquisite in addition to having a superb movement with an incredible finishing and numerous inward angles
It was discover for me; would you believe I’ve been looking at this reference for the last 9 or 10 months.
But the Rose Gold with the white dial, or PT with the white dial. In both cases to camouflage that date window which I agree could have been left on the sketch pad ! What’s interesting to me is that these watches now seem to be moving fast, having sat for...
My eyes fell on this watch en passant a couple of years ago. My initial reaction was "Oh, what's that?" and that was about it.
Then in about the same timeframe as you mention above, I began to circle it with greater intent, finally acting on it last month. Apparently it had made more of an initial impression on me than I realised. I found photos of it on my phone dating back two ...
It's interesting that you found "deliciously outdated" as a preferred way to describe how the watch looks and feels.
One of the characteristics of early PF was how Michel Parmigiani sought a purity of style that had little if anything to do with watch forms of the day. One could argue with justification that his designs were outdated the moment they landed, and intentio...
It’s imo the best finished watch out there
Even if you would have a budget of 50k and more A superb case and dial too But whoever the owner is…. Please advise him to buy another stap !! Really doesn’t fit such a gorgeous watch

Amazing photos as usual mon ami. This strap doesn't seem to match the watch or dial well but it was the only one I had at the time to put on. Once I receive the bespoke straps for this one, it will be right as rain 😜
For anyone who has never seen an Ionica in person, take my word for it, the finishing is stellar!! This is an haute horlogerie piece at Omega and Rolex prices l, not even their higher priced models 😜🤣
I believe the mind….
is very good at ‘thin slicing’ and can quickly pick up anomalies and things that are out of place. Conversely, it can also quickly appreciate things where proportions are just right, that visually work. I think the early Parmigiani watches are excellent e...
Well best movement you can buy nowadays - and got a feeling with the strap
tried to the same with my Ionica ...
