Lot Essay
Introduced in 2014 as an exclusive edition for the Richard Mille Beverly Hills Boutique, the RM 032 “Dark Diver” is among the most striking and elusive interpretations of the manufacture’s formidable diving chronograph, produced in a highly limited series of only 30 examples. Cloaked entirely in black with a dramatic DLC-coated titanium case, matching black rubber strap, and DLC-coated buckle, the watch possesses an unmistakably stealth-like aesthetic further heightened by vivid red accents to the hands and locking crown. Engineered for professional diving and water resistant to 300 meters, the RM 032 features Richard Mille’s innovative locking crown and bezel system designed to prevent accidental manipulation underwater. Beneath its imposing and highly architectural exterior lies the automatic caliber RMAC2, offering an impressive suite of complications including a flyback chronograph, annual calendar with oversized date and month indication, running indicator, and variable-geometry rotor. The skeletonized dial beautifully showcases the mechanical complexity within, reinforcing the model’s fusion of technical sophistication and avant-garde design. Combining rarity, extreme functionality, and bold contemporary aesthetics, the present “Dark Diver” stands as one of the most compelling modern sports watches produced by the celebrated manufacture.
