FUNCTIONS
Hours, Minutes, Small seconds, Date, Moon phase
The PF318 movement and its moon phase module is the 33rd movement created within the Parmigiani
Fleurier manufactures. The moon phase’s operating principle is based on a gear moved by the hour
wheel, which rotates at half the speed of the gear. The gear drives the moon disc every 24 hours via a
flexible blade integrated in the centre of its wheel. A corrector at 9 o’clock enables the wearer to
independently index the moon in relation to the day and date in order to match its phase to the
geographic reference location.
The PF318 self-winding movement has a power reserve of 50 hours and excellent isochronism thanks
to its two series-mounted barrels that regulate the rate. Visible through the watch’s sapphire case
back, this calibre is entirely circular-grained, decorated with Côtes de Genève and bevelled to the finest
haute horlogerie standards customarily applied in the Parmigiani Fleurier manufacture.
