  • Catalogue Essay

    Deemed one of the most advanced and elegant luxury wristwatches, the Richard Mille RM007 debuted in 2005 as the brand's first feminine model. With its elongated, sensually curved shape in a smaller dimension, the RM007 combines mechanical hyper-technology with beauty. The lineage has flourished into an array of precious metal and diamond-set styles.

    This circa 2005 RM007 model shines in glamorous mirror-polished pink gold and diamond-set case, balanced by eight titanium spline screws. The gorgeous semi-skeletonised dial with PVD-coating has incredible depth, with a vermillion center surrounded by diamonds. The rotating sapphire disc displays the date against a white background for clear legibility.

    The RM007 caliber incorporates a bi-directional automatic movement with a rotor segment distinctive to the model. The 18K gold rotor with transparent PVD coated weight compartment is mesmerizing, filled with over 100 free-flowing gold micro-beads to reduce shock. Aviation-grade titanium screws allow precise tightening control during assembly.

    Preserved in excellent condition with its full set of accessories, this historically significant and glamorous RM007 with its feminine codes is perfect for discerning ladies who admire beauty and mechanical perfection equally.

  • 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.
