Catalogue Essay
Founded in 2001 by Richard Mille himself, the company has rapidly become synonymous with cutting-edge technology, avant-garde design, and unparalleled craftsmanship. Its importance in the Swiss watchmaking industry lies in its relentless pursuit of pushing boundaries by utilizing exotic materials, such as carbon composites and sapphire crystal, and creating exceptionally lightweight, shock-resistant, and complex timepieces.

A particularly attractive example of an RM 007, it features a beautiful white gold case set with 650 diamonds, weighing over 4.845 carats. The beautifully diamond-set semi-skeletonized dial is also inlayed with a piece of black onyx stone, further extending this watch’s attractiveness. Inside ticks an innovative, self-winding movement with rotor in grade 5 titanium, and a tungsten carbide rotor system containing 18K gold micro-beads.

The present watch, consigned by the original owner, is complete with its full set of accessories and preserved in excellent condition.

CONSIGNED BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER

Richard Mille

Swiss | 1999
Established in 1999, Richard Mille's ultra-modern timepieces combine cutting-edge materials from high performance worlds such as Formula 1 racecars with high-end traditional watchmaking. The brand's revolutionary designs, technical breakthroughs and exceptional hand-finishing excite even the most discriminating collectors, and have positioned Richard Mille alongside the top makers of the modern luxury watch world.

Innovative watches, such as the RM 027 Tourbillon, which was the world’s lightest mechanical watch when introduced in 2011, have helped the brand invert the concept of the luxury watch. Key models include the RM 009 Tourbillon cased in Aluminum Silicon Carbide (AlSiC), the RM 027-02 Tourbillon made for tennis star Rafael Nadal with a case made from quartz and carbon fiber and the RM 008 split seconds chronograph.
