Notes

The present Richard Mille RM010 in white gold is an outstanding example of the model that helped define the brand’s modern architectural identity. Introduced as one of the earliest references to establish the signature tonneau case, skeletonized movement and three-dimensional dial construction, the RM010 quickly became emblematic of Richard Mille’s fusion of high horology and avant-garde engineering. Crafted in solid white gold, the case displays the complex geometry and meticulous brushing that have positioned the brand among the most technically sophisticated case manufacturers in contemporary watchmaking.

The openworked dial reveals the movement’s dynamic architecture, allowing the wearer to observe the oscillating rotor, gear train and date mechanism in constant motion. Its Arabic numerals, sculpted and applied individually to the sapphire crystal, contribute to the model’s distinctive visual depth and floating effect. The automatic calibre, developed around Richard Mille’s emphasis on shock resistance, lightweight components and optimized winding efficiency, encapsulates the brand’s philosophy of performance-oriented horology.

This example has benefited from an official Richard Mille service, a detail of considerable importance given the brand’s highly specialized technical requirements and proprietary construction techniques. Such servicing ensures the watch maintains the exceptional performance and precision expected of the manufacture’s creations, while preserving the structural integrity of the complex case assembly and movement.

Worn on its white rubber strap, the RM010 in white gold balances sculptural presence with remarkable comfort, embodying the modern interpretation of luxury that Richard Mille pioneered. Combining technical ambition, distinctive design language and verified servicing provenance, the present watch stands as an exemplary representation of one of the most influential references in the brand’s early history, and a highly collectible piece within the evolving landscape of contemporary haute horlogerie.
