PROPERTY FROM AN IMPORTANT ASIAN COLLECTOR Richard Mille Reference RM005 A pink gold semi-skeletonised wristwatch with date, Circa 2005 Dial: semi-skeletonised Calibre: cal. RM005 automatic, 32 jewels Case: 18k pink gold, sapphire crystal display back secured by 4 screws Case number: 192 Closure: burgundy Richard Mille alligator strap and 18k pink gold and titanium double folding clasp Size: 45 mm length x 37.5 mm width Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: Richard Mille presentation box In 2004, Richard Mille launched its first automatic model, the RM005, featuring a semi-instantaneous date change. The significant challenge with the RM005 was the creation of the titanium baseplate. The brand needed to invest in the appropriate tools for its production. The complexity lay not only in designing the baseplates but also in the techniques required for their manufacture. Watchmakers had to be exceptionally careful to avoid damaging the PVD treatment during assembly, which posed a considerable challenge with a high rejection rate. However, this meticulous approach is part of the brand’s identity and no-compromise philosophy. This model also introduced the exclusive variable-geometry rotor, a groundbreaking invention that optimizes the movement’s winding mechanism and can be personalized to suit the owner’s lifestyle by adjusting the six-position rib placement setting. The patented mechanism alters the rotor's inertia, allowing it to speed up the winding process during minimal arm and hand movements, while slowing it down during high-intensity activities.

PROPERTY FROM AN IMPORTANT ASIAN COLLECTOR Richard Mille Reference RM65-01 A brand new titanium semi-skeletonised split seconds chronograph wristwatch with rapid winding mechanism and date, Circa 2022 Dial: semi-skeletonised Calibre: cal. RMAC4 automatic, 51 jewels Case: titanium, sapphire crystal display case back secured by 8 screws Case number: 388 Closure: black Richard Mille rubber strap and titanium double folding clasp Size: 50 mm length x 42 mm width Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: Richard Mille Warranty, instruction manual, travelling pouch and presentation box Since 1999, Richard Mille has been revolutionizing watchmaking by challenging industry boundaries with advanced metal alloys and innovative designs. With a daring vision to transform luxury sports watches, each Richard Mille timepiece results from thorough research and cutting-edge engineering. The RM 65-01, launched in 2020, represents the brand's most intricate motorsport-inspired watch to date. Despite its complex and technical appearance, this remarkable timepiece is designed for everyday wear. At the core of the RM 65-01 is the calibre RMAC4, an automatic movement that took five years of careful development and refinement. Among its various technical innovations is a rapid winding mechanism, in addition to the standard automatic and crown winding functions. By pressing the pusher at the 8 o’clock position, the barrel can be quickly reset, allowing the watch to be fully energized after periods of inactivity. Richard Mille’s engineers faced significant challenges in developing this feature, particularly due to the high torque transfer needed. However, the mechanism proved to be exceptionally durable during rigorous testing, successfully activating thousands of times. The present RM 65-01 is housed in a titanium case, with both the baseplate and bridges made from grade 5 titanium, known for its impressive strength and lightweight characteristics. The dial showcases vibrant accents of red, blue, orange, green, and yellow, adding a playful element to the sophisticated gray semi-skeletonised background. We are pleased to present this outstanding brand new example.

<a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/watches/watch/richard-mille" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Richard Mille</a> faced the challenge of maintaining the strength and unique character of his models while expanding his design options. The RM016 was a game-changer in 2007 as Richard Mille ventured into two uncharted territories. Firstly, the rectangular shape of the watch was a departure from the brand's signature tonneau-shaped cases. Secondly, the ultra-thin movement marked the founding pillars of a more sophisticated and refined aesthetic, which can be seen in current references such as the RM067-01 and RM067-02. Available in excellent condition, the watch not only has a great wrist presence, it also established the foundation for further avant-garde case designs in Richard Mille.
