The present RM016 extra thin automatic wristwatch, made for the renowned Singapore-based retailer The Hour Glass, was introduced to the market at the Singapore Tempus Watch Fair in 2007. This present PVD-coated titanium wristwatch is part of the All-Black Commemorative Collection specially made for the event. The present watch is numbered 17 of a limited edition of 28 pieces only.
A deviation from Richard Mille’s iconic tonneau-shaped case, the RM016 is fitted within a rectangular watch case with a skeletonized dial proudly showcasing the movement. The thin PVD-coated titanium case gives the watch a masculine yet discreet appearance. Presented in excellent overall condition, the present watch embodies many of the classic Richard Mille’s elements that make the brand so popular today.
