Catalogue Essay
Richard Mille's motto is " A Racing Machine on the Wrist" and it is thus perfectly logical that the brand teamed up with F1 drivers. The present timepiece is part of a collaboration made in 2007 between Richard Mille and the back then "Scuderia Ferrari" F1 driver Felipe Massa.
Cased in the firm’s iconic tonneau-shaped case and powered by the automatic caliber 6201, the movement is skeletonized with a variable-geometry rotor that offers: hours, minutes, seconds, flyback chronograph, 60-minute countdown timer at 9 o’clock, 12-hour totalizer, and oversize date and month indicator.
The case is also one of the very first examples to feature a DLC-coated titanium case giving an all-black appeal contrasted with white, red and yellow accents. This specific color scheme was made specially for the official Richard Mille authorized dealer, Chronopassion founded by respected collector and watch enthusiast Laurent Picciotto.
Numbered 12 of a 30 piece limited edition, the present example is offered in excellent overall condition.
