Catalogue Essay
Since the establishment of the firm in 1999, Richard Mille has developed a lasting relationship with Formula 1. Having offered numerous models inspired by motorsport racing over the years, one of the very first companionship between Mille and the sport was with Brazilian legend, Felipe Massa. In 2007, Richard Mille released their first self-winding chronograph model via the RM011 Felipe Massa. Becoming what is to be one of the most important foundation of the evolution of Mille chronographs, RM011 was released during a time where Richard Mille only offered the RM004 and RM008 which were both split-second chronographs.
The RM011 featured a self-winding movement made by Vaucher and its flyback chronograph mechanism by Dubois-Dépraz, a trusted name in the industry. Housed inside its signature tonneau-shaped grade 5 titanium case, the construction of the case took over 202 different machine procedures to execute with the help of analytical engineering methods used inspired by Formula 1 racing.
The present Richard Mille RM011 Felipe Massa from circa 2012 is complete with its full set of accessories and preserved in excellent overall condition.
