Extract from a UK watch gallery website :
"Ten years ago, thanks to the trust shown in him by the Sandoz Family Foundation, the Parmigiani Fleurier brand was born of their shared vision for watchmaking of great value. It has now become a reality, a style imbued with elegance, which daily reveals more and more of its wealth of ingenuity in its stunning Parmigiani wrist watches. "

I believe this brand has been in existance but not very popular. Its range of models are the Bugatti, Kalpa, Tershing etc.

Have you looked at their website and models?
Have you read more about this brand in their website?

They are one of the founding members of the "Qualité Fleurier" which has very strict standards in the QC and finishing of a watch.

Their watches are very well made but priced quite high.
I think only 1 AD selling this brand and they are located inside Star Hill.

From its look and exclusiveness, I think it is couples of times above rolex price and 3x more expensive than patek "common" models.

Actually no, i think their entry level ones are about the same price as the cheapest Patek after discount.
