Full-Cataloguing
- Iconic model of Richard Mille
- Luxurious pink gold case
- With original warranty from 2009
Unveiled in 2006, the RM010 rapidly became iconic, distilling the young brand’s DNA into a bold, sculptural wristwatch with a fully skeletonized movement. The calibre—manufactured by Vaucher and sharing its base with the RM011 chronograph—demonstrates both technical excellence and aesthetic transparency. A signature detail is the inventive date display: numerals printed on a transparent sapphire disc, aligned within a window at 7 o’clock against a crisp white background. This clever solution, together with the watch’s architectural case and openwork finishing, encapsulates Richard Mille’s philosophy of marrying technical creativity with avant‑garde form.
Produced in a variety of metals and limited editions, the RM010 remains one of the purest expressions of the maison’s early ethos and is widely regarded as a foundational model in the brand’s catalogue. The present example, crafted in 18K pink gold, strikes a classic and elegant note while retaining the model’s inherently sporty character. Offered in excellent overall condition and accompanied by its original 2009 warranty, this RM010 exemplifies the base reference from which Richard Mille expanded into diverse materials and complications. It is an important example for collectors seeking a quintessential early Richard Mille.
Richard Mille
Swiss | 1999Established in 1999, Richard Mille's ultra-modern timepieces combine cutting-edge materials from high performance worlds such as Formula 1 racecars with high-end traditional watchmaking. The brand's revolutionary designs, technical breakthroughs and exceptional hand-finishing excite even the most discriminating collectors, and have positioned Richard Mille alongside the top makers of the modern luxury watch world.
Innovative watches, such as the RM 027 Tourbillon, which was the world’s lightest mechanical watch when introduced in 2011, have helped the brand invert the concept of the luxury watch. Key models include the RM 009 Tourbillon cased in Aluminum Silicon Carbide (AlSiC), the RM 027-02 Tourbillon made for tennis star Rafael Nadal with a case made from quartz and carbon fiber and the RM 008 split seconds chronograph.
