New Releases
Richard Mille New Models 2026
Richard Mille's 2026 new-model conversation is led by the RM HJ-02 Automatic Winding Tourbillon, a high-jewellery series of 12 unique pieces arranged across pink, violet, blue and green colour worlds.
For owners, that creates context rather than a simple price change. The exact reference, material, limitation, condition, accessories, provenance and warranty history still decide value.

Key points
Richard Mille's 2026 new-model focus is led by the RM HJ-02 high-jewellery automatic tourbillon.
Material, limitation, warranty history, accessories and provenance drive buyer confidence.
Secure insured handling is essential before any high-value RM sale.
RM HJ-02 is the headline 2026 reference
The RM HJ-02 is an in-house automatic tourbillon built around high jewellery, colour and technical gem-setting. Richard Mille describes 1,399 precious and ornamental stones set across each piece, with gem-setting extending from case and buckle to the movement itself.
The watch uses the CRMT2 skeletonised automatic tourbillon calibre, with around 50 hours of power reserve. The release is useful for owners because it shows how specific RM value can be: gem-setting, limitation, movement, case construction and provenance all matter.
RM HJ-02 is limited to 12 unique pieces.
The watch centres on high jewellery, colour, tourbillon architecture and hand finishing.
It should not be used as a blanket price signal for every Richard Mille model.
Warranty and ownership history matter
Richard Mille buyers usually expect strong provenance. Warranty details, service records, original box, papers, straps, accessories and ownership trail can all affect buyer confidence.
A complete set is especially important because RM watches are high-value, low-volume and reference-specific.
Confirm the reference, material, edition status and strap configuration.
Prepare warranty, service and ownership documents before requesting an offer.
Use insured handling and professional authentication before any transaction.
What sellers should do before acting
Before selling an RM, confirm the exact reference, case material, strap set, service history, accessories, and ownership documents.
The offer should reflect the watch's specific buyer pool, not only the brand's general reputation.
what rm owners should prepare
Exact reference, material, movement, limitation, strap set, accessories, and full set status.
Warranty details, service records, ownership history, certificate, and service booklet.
Detailed photos of case, dial, strap, buckle, caseback, documents, and condition marks.
A professional authentication and insured shipping process before payment.
Final thought
Richard Mille value is built around the individual watch. The more complete and verifiable the reference, set, service history and provenance, the stronger the transaction.
Do new Richard Mille models affect older RM values?
Sometimes, but the effect depends on material, limitation, model family, and collector appetite.
Why is secure handling so important?
Richard Mille watches are high value, specialist pieces that need documented insured movement and careful verification.
What drives Richard Mille demand?
Material, rarity, movement, condition, provenance, accessories, and reference story are all important.
