In 2002, a year after the launch of the first Richard Mille wristwatch, the RM002 was released. Keeping with the tourbillon, power reserve, and torque indicators of the first model, the RM002 incorporated an element inspired by automotive racing with the inclusion of a gear-like function selector. Prominently displayed between the four and five o’clock positions, the function selector is changed through a button in the crown, similar to a gearbox, the watch can be set to H (Hands) for time setting, N (Neutral) for normal timekeeping, and W (Winding) for winding.
The torque indicator runs between 0 and 65 with red indicator, a reading below 53dNmm indicates the mainspring is too slack and over 65dNmm indicting excessive tension on the mainspring.
The present RM002-V2 is the second evolution of the model. It incorporates a movement baseplate made of a composite carbon nanofiber with grey PVD coating, enabling greater structural rigidity for improved shock resistance.
Preserved in exceptional condition and freshly serviced at Richard Mille, this RM002-V2 Tourbillon will appeal to the discerning collector who prizes technical innovation, historical significance, and the bold design language that defines the Richard Mille aesthetic.
Please note that the timepiece has recently been serviced at Richard Mille and is still under its 2-year international warranty until 24 August 2028.

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.
