  • Catalogue Essay

    Ever since the release of his first model in 2001, Richard Mille has been known for visionary and avant-garde designs with an aesthetic never seen before in watchmaking history. Since their beginning, Mille has pushed the limits of horology, making some of the most technical watches of the 21st century. His cutting-edge designs are immediately recognizable and are sophisticated, practical, and comfortable on the wrist. The movements are manufactured to be worn in extreme conditions using revolutionary materials.

    The present RM 67-02 is in perfect tune with Mille’s philosophy pushed to the limits as this ultra-light piece weighs a jaw-dropping mere 32 grams (including the strap) thanks to the combination of Quartz and Carbon TPT composite materials and grade 5 titanium used to create the baseplate and bridges of the movement. Richard Mille designed this model to be adapted to various sporting disciplines. This is why several of the brand’s partners have developed an RM 67-02 in the colours of their respective countries to test the abilities of this automatic calibre in a range of settings.

    The present RM67-02 was developed with Alexander Zverev, the German Tennis superstar who turned pro when he was 16 in 2013. Some notable achievement from this rising young tennis star, where he finished in the top 10 in the world ranking for five straight years from 2017-2021, winning 6 ATP Tour in 2021 and currently hold the record of the youngest players born since 1990 with a total of 21 titles under his belt. The bezel and caseback of the present example are in Quartz TPT with a red Carbon TPT for the case band. Lastly, Richard Mille added a special touch on the bridges that are hand-painted in the colours of Germany, which is the birthplace of Alexander Zvervev.

    In excellent condition, the watch comes with its complete set of accessories.

  • Artist Biography

    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.
