The authors consider the vector functional-differential equation \[ \dfrac{dx(t)}{dt}=f(x)(t),\tag{1} \] where \(f\) is a continuous operator acting from the space of \(n\)-dimensional \(\omega\)-periodic continuous vector functions into the space of \(n\)-dimensional \(\omega\)-periodic and summable on \([0, \omega]\) vector functions. Using the principle of a priori boundedness they establish sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of an \(\omega\)-periodic solution to (1). Moreover, corollaries of the main results are given for the vector differential equation with deviating arguments \[ \dfrac{dx(t)}{dt}= f_{0}(t,x(t),x(\tau_{1}(t)),\dots,x(\tau_{m}(t))), \] where \(f_{0}: \mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}^{(m+1)n}\to \mathbb{R}^{n}\) satisfies the local Carathéodory conditions and is \(\omega\)-periodic in the first argument.
