Catalogue Note

The RM007 retains the signature Richard Mille look with its tonneau-form case and Formula 1-inspired technology, despite its diamond-set dial and feminine proportions. As the the first lady's wristwatch created by the company, it features a patented automatic movement. The rotor is fitted with a compartment containing more than one hundred 18k gold micro-balls, which protect the movement by absorbing excess energy from potentially damaging shocks.
