All There in Black and White: Parmigiani Fleurier Kalpagraphe Blanc and Kalpagraphe Noir

Parmigiani Fleurier is exploring new, sportier territory in its tonneau-cased Kalpa collection with the launch of two Kalpagraphe models that are, at least outwardly, as different as night and day For gentlemen, the manufacture offers a model in black ADLC-coated steel, in two gray sapphire dial executions; for the ladies, it's a piece in rose gold with a white sapphire dial, one with a diamond setting The steel cases of the men's "Kalpagraphe Noir" models achieve their polished black gloss through an ADLC treatment that also enhances their hardness and wear resistance.

Measuring 44.45 mm x 39.2 mm in diameter and 12.8 mm thick, the case has a nonreflective sapphire crystal over the dial and uses another for the exhibition caseback, and uses either rose gold or steel for its crown, chronograph pushers, and dial details In classical Kalpagraphe style, the dial features a tricompax, slightly off-center arrangement of subdials and a curved date aperture below the logo badge at 12 o'clock The polished, rose-gold case of the new ladies' Kalpagraphe has the same substantial dimensions as the men's models, the same sapphire panes over the front and back of the case, and the same distinctive dial layout.

The dials' pearly white tones is echoed in the integrated white rubber strap, which fastens to the wrist with an 18k gold pin buckle. . Source
