Richard Mille RM 001 38mm
RM001 Tourbillon is available from Lux&Co. In Stock. Box & Papers Included.
Lux&Co is offering the Richard Mille RM 001 Tourbillon in 18K White Gold, available for purchase now. This historic and highly collectible early Richard Mille model represents the very first production tourbillon from the brand and laid the engineering foundation for all future RM timepieces. It is a cornerstone for enthusiasts and serious collectors alike who value the genesis of modern haute horlogerie innovation. The RM 001’s tonneau‑shaped case in 18K white gold delivers a refined yet bold wrist presence, distinguishing itself as an early application of precious metal in Richard Mille’s pioneering designs. Beneath anti‑reflective sapphire crystal, the openworked dial reveals a skeletonised manual‑winding movement with a one‑minute tourbillon regulator, torque indicator and power‑reserve indication — features that were groundbreaking at the time of release and have since become hallmarks of the brand’s technical prowess. Designed without a traditional casing ring and engineered for extreme resistance and performance, the RM 001’s movement was originally built around a German silver baseplate with PVD treatment to reduce friction and enhance durability, later transitioning to titanium in subsequent pre‑series examples. Only a very limited number of pieces were ever made, reflecting its laboratory‑like role as the first tourbillon produced in full scale by Richard Mille. As both a historical milestone and a collectible masterpiece, the Richard Mille RM 001 Tourbillon in white gold represents the beginning of a legacy of advanced mechanical design and luxury materials that have defined the brand.
