A rare neo-vintage Parmigiani was auctioned in Monaco last month.
Platinum Ionica reference PF000470 with blue MOP dial. It is drop dead gorgeous.
This is the first I have seen a mother of pearl dial on a platinum Ionica and I think it works really well.
The bracelet is a mismatch as it is white gold paired with a platinum case. I think it is readily apparent that the metals aren't the same. I'd prefer to see this gorgeous watch on a blue calfskin strap.
A heartfelt thank you and shout out to a fellow WPS community member who brought this piece to my attention. Thanks Alan!
I'm interested in what you all think of this piece.

The bracelet is very ornate. The polished links seem to clash a bit with the whiter platinum metal.
Maybe I'm being nit-picky. Thanks much for commenting.
Not for me. I’m not a mother of pearl fan on watches, the bezel is too ornate, the bracelet…….no.
At first I thought it was a ladies watch, which I think all the elements could work, but not a man's watch. Sorry nothing about it appeals to me.
It is beautiful👌, front and movement side.
I agree about the disparity in the metal color of bracelet vs case. It looks a little weird.
