Limited to just 100 pieces and built exclusively for Japanese retailer Yoshida, this edition carries a blue dial found nowhere else in Parmigiani Fleurier’s steel chronograph lineup. Pairing a chronograph with a full annual calendar inside a 42mm steel sport case, it combines two complications you almost never find sharing one dial. Made for the collector who already has the usual grails handled and now wants the piece nobody else at the table will recognize.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. A blue dial finished with Clou Triangulaire guilloché catches light differently at every angle, shifting between bright and deeper tones. A slim fluted bezel sets fine knurling against a high-polished bevel, giving the front a two-tone contrast of matte and gloss. On the reverse, a 22-karat rose gold open-worked rotor with Côtes de Genève striping shows through the sapphire caseback.
Functions include hours, minutes, small seconds, chronograph, and annual calendar with large date and month display. A screw-down crown quick-sets the date in its first position and sets the time in its second, then screws back down to restore 100 meters of water resistance. A teardrop pusher above the crown starts and stops the chronograph while the one below resets the counters to zero. A 30-minute counter sits at 9 o’clock, a 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock, a large double-date window beneath 12 o’clock, and the month inside the small-seconds register at 3 o’clock. An annual calendar handles every 30- and 31-day month automatically, requiring one correction per year at the end of February.
Comes as a full set, double-boxed with a watch cushion, warranty card, user guide, an interchangeable blue rubber strap, a black rubber strap, and a folding deployant clasp.
Built on the in-house PF043 with 443 components and 56 jewels, only 100 were ever produced for Japan. Rotating between the integrated steel bracelet, navy blue rubber strap, and black rubber strap covers every occasion from boardroom to open water. Reach out before this one moves on.
