This watch is an ambassador from the early days of the Richard Mille brand. The brand was founded in 2001 with the brilliant launch of the unprecedentedly expensive RM 001 Tourbillon watch, which was compared to the F1 racing car in the world of watches. The RM 001 was followed by further generations of tourbillons and split-seconds chronographs. When Richard Mille’s first automatic watch, the RM005, was launched in 2004, the brand already had an image as a manufacturer of exceptional tourbillons. The bar was therefore set very high for the successful launch of the RM005, the first automatic model. In principle, Richard Mille mastered it in collaboration with Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, the developer and manufacturer of the movement. The RM005 and later the RM010 movement are a heavily modified version of the automatic Vaucher caliber 4000, characterized by a very strong technical character and radically different from the image of the traditional Haute Horlogerie caliber. Instead of rhodium-plated brass, perlage, Cotes de Geneve, polished bevels and slotted screws with flat polished heads, we find titanium with a matt blasting, brushing, a PVD coating that ranges from grey to black, and a screw with a sculpted polished five-pointed head.
