Lot Essay
Offered in excellent overall condition and with the full set of accessories, the present RM 60-01 is one of the largest and most complicated timepieces ever made by Richard Mille. Sporting a 50 mm. titanium case with complications consisting of a dual time with pusher adjustment, annual calendar, flyback chronograph with countdown regatta time, outsized date, and month indicator, these complications are displayed through the skeletonized dial and in different colors.
Richard Mille
Richard Mille established his brand in 1999 with Dominique Guenat and Audemars Piguet. The mission was to push high-end, handmade watchmaking to the very limits of technical innovation. Richard Mille watches are now regarded as the ultimate expression of luxury and are among the most valuable timepieces in the world. They are revered for their bold, futuristic design, extreme resistance, and quality.
Richard Mille launched its first watch, the manually wound Richard Mille RM001 in 2001. The entire production run of 80 units sold out almost immediately. Another defining feature of Richard Mille watches is their featherweight feel. The seemingly bulky reference RM 50-03, a McLaren-Richard Mille collaboration, weighs less than 40 grams. In 2021, the first Richard Mille Ferrari collaborative timepiece was released. At just 1.75 millimeters thick, the RM UP-01 is a triumph of technical prowess.
The brand reinforces its exclusivity by partnering with sporting ambassadors at the top of their game. These include Formula One driver Felipe Massa, American golfer Bubba Watson, and tennis star Rafael Nadal. For Nadal, Mille wanted to develop a watch that he could wear during matches. The Spaniard broke five prototypes before the Richard Mille Nadal RM027 which weighed just 20 grams, was finalized.
