Richard Mille prides his watches as "racing machines for the wrist" due to his commitment to creating high-performance watches inspired by the world of motorsports. One of the most celebrated events in the world of motorsport is Le Mans, a prestigious, annual endurance race that also serves as a platform for Richard Mille to showcase its watches' resilience and accuracy under extreme conditions. As an official partner, Richard Mille's involvement in Le Mans extends beyond sponsorship; it aligns with the race's ethos of pushing boundaries and achieving excellence, reflecting the brand's own philosophies in watchmaking.
Considered as one of the flagship models of the entire Richard Mille lineup, the RM 11-03 exemplifies such commitment to innovation and performance. This timepiece features a striking design, incorporating a tonneau-shaped case crafted from NTPT carbon and other cutting-edge materials. Equipped with a flyback chronograph and annual calendar complication with oversized date, the RM 11-03 offers precision timing alongside durability and ergonomic comfort.
The present RM11-03 is a rare variant of the reference, being one of a limited edition of 150 pieces made specially for Le Mans. Cased in both carbon TPT and white ceramic, it has the remarkable lightness that make Richard Mille watches so coveted, making it perfect for daily wear. Presented in like-new condition complete with all its original accessories, this watch will surely attract collectors with a passion for motorsport and technological innovation.
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.
