Specialist note
Since its inception in 1999, the indie brand Richard Mille has quickly established a niche for itself on the back of its avant-garde movements and flamboyant case designs. The RM17-01 features the brand's characteristic tonneau-shaped case.
The finishing on the hand-wound Tourbillon movement is impressive. The baseplate and the bridges are crafted in a grade 5 titanium alloy, similar to the one used in aerospace and automobile industries. Enhancing this extremely industrial mechanical art is the hand finishing on the bridges, counter sinks as well as the hands.
Long established as one of the leaders of avant-garde horology and watch design, this is an exceedingly rare opportunity to acquire one of Richard Mille’s most recognisable and rare creations.
