Specialist note
Richard Mille enthusiasts and collectors worldwide will immediately recognize the significance of this superb RM67-02 Sebastien Ogier. To the best of our knowledge, the present watch is the first of its kind to be offered at auction.
A defining feature of the present Richard Mille RM67-02 is the featherweight feel. Thanks to the combination of carbon TPT® and grade 5 titanium of the case, the timepiece weighs only 32 grams (including the strap).
Carbon TPT is a relatively new and groundbreaking ultra-lightweight material that was developed by Richard Mille for use in watchmaking. Called TPT (thin ply technology), it was first used in the RM27-02. Composed of multiple layers of parallel filaments obtained by dividing carbon fibres which have a thickness of only 30 microns, the carbon fibres are woven on a special machine that modifies the direction of the weft by 45° between layers. The compound is then heated to 120°C at a pressure of 6 bars, the Carbon TPT® is then processed on a CNC machine at Richard Mille’s factory.
With the RM67-02, Richard Mille reinforces its exclusivity by partnering with sporting ambassadors at the top of their game. These include Alexis Pinturault, Alexander Zverev, Mutaz Essa Barshim, Wayde van Niekerk and others.
Sebastien Ogier
The present RM67-02 was developed with the French rally driver Sebastien Ogier. Achieving 61 victories in the World Rally Championship and 8 titles, 6 of which were consecutive from 2013 to 2018. Sebastien Ogier is the second most successful WRC driver. Furthermore, Sebastien Ogier is one of only two drivers to have won the World Championship with three different manufacturers.
