Wei's first encounter with the PF elicited a response that he had previously not associated with Parmigiani Fleurier — and that was unadulterated, uncut, never stepped on, 100-percent pure, unbridled desire. It is such a brilliant design — dynamically charged with enthralling minute nuances, from the miniature guilloché pattern on the dial to the micro-fluting on the platinum bezel, the hand polishing on the interior edges of the lugs that face the case, and the contrast between the tapering polished sections that flow into the sublimely brushed bracelet. When he finally got to try it on, he was hooked immediately. The PF was so damn appealing on the wrist. At 40mm in diameter and with a thickness of just 7.8mm, it creates a wonderful dynamic tension between a strong wrist presence counterpointed by a lithe Brcuși-like elegance that makes it a pleasure to wear. This shade of salmon was first introduced in our sold-out collaborative release with the brand in 2022. Christened 'Serenissima', or 'Serenity' in English, the shade "recalls Botticelli painting the first light rising over the Gulf of Venice, at the north of the Adriatic Sea," as Wei muses. In celebration of Revolution's 20th anniversary, we looked into our archives and brought back the best of Revolution's limited-editions, this time with a twist: the Revolution star peeking out of the date window in place of '20'. It's harmoniously rendered in monochrome and tastefully set against a color-matched date wheel. The Revolution logo is likewise cast in the platinum micro-rotor of the wonderfully finished caliber PF703, which elegantly measures just 3.07mm thin. Indeed, it is the perfect timepiece to have in that, thanks to its extraordinary ergonomics, it is blissful to wear. From a design perspective, it is representative of an all-new sports chic icon — and with this colored dial, a beacon of joy, energy and triumph. In other words, it is dopeness personified.
