With Richard Mille Warranty dated June 2007, instruction manual, product literature, polishing cloth, leather wallet, fitted presentation box and outer packaging.
Richard Mille timepieces offer a very different conceptual approach in the luxury watch field. His goal is to be to the watch industry what Ferrari and McLaren are to the automotive field: technologically advanced, innovative and performance oriented.
The materials used for Richard Mille watches are high-tech, including titanium and ARCAP (an alloy with superb mechanical properties of endurance and resistance to distortion). The cases are ergonomically curved and feature lateral ribs for extra strength.
In August 2001, his first watch, the Tourbillon RM 001, was launched. Following its success, it was followed by the Tourbillon RM 002, such as the present watch offered in this Sale. In 2002, Richard Mille introduced the Tourbillon RM 003 with dual time indicator.
The main features of the present RM 002 are the one minute tourbillon, the torque indication which displays the actual strength of the mainspring and the co-axial button in the crown to select neutral, winding or hand-setting positions, very much like changing gears in a race car.
