Thanks for covering Parmigiani Marc. Yes still a niche brand but definitely respected by connoisseurs. I believe they did the right thing by producing some entry level pieces in steel. The Tonda 1950 is a beauty :)

Once again a wealth of information about the brand. Thank you so much for sharing, very good work and at the same time really enjoyable to watch. The YG no-date Parmigiani and the MB&F Legacy both look great on your wrist, terrific choices. Quick question: I've heard that Parmigiani manufacture the Calatrava 5196 model for PP, perhaps the case and dial (if not the movement as well). Is that true? (if you know and can also disclose, of course). Thank you.
