Established in 1999, Richard Mille strives to innovate and create timepieces inspired by the intricate art and craftmanship of micro-engineering, the aerospace industry, and automobile racing. With a successful reception, Richard Mille has become a global leader due to his futuristic appeal fused with revolutionary materials. Mille has pushed the limits of horology making some of the most technical watches of the 21st century. His cutting-edge designs are immediately recognizable, and are sophisticated, practical, and comfortable on the wrist. The movements are manufactured to be worn in extreme conditions, and the brand has enjoyed partnerships with world class athletes such as Rafael Nadal, Bubba Watson, Yohan Blake, and Formula One super star, Felipe Massa.

Felipe Massa is a Brazilian Formula One racer, who in 15 seasons (2002-2017) had 11 Grand Prix victories, 41 podiums, and in 2008 missed the championship by one point. Massa’s technical skill easily matched Mille’s innovative branding and in 2008, the RM011 Felipe Massa model was introduced. Sharing the same number as Massa’s 11 victories, the model features a semi-skeletonized dial with a flyback chronograph complication with annual calendar indication. Adopting a large tonneau-shaped case with exposed spline screws, the design is iconic and distinctive to the firm. The first edition was launched in titanium with other variants introduced in 18K pink gold and other materials as well as limited editions models.

The present model is offered by the original owner and is an appealing RM011 with 18k pink gold and titanium case, accompanied with its original accessories. The watch is in excellent condition and is a bridge between 21st century horology and the traditional past which fuel collectors’ excitement and interest.
