Richard MilleRM005

KEY FACTS

• Introduced in 2004, the RM005 brought a lot of innovation into the Richard Mille catalogue
• It’s the first watch from the Swiss brand to incorporate an automatic movement
• The RM005 is praised as one of the most wearable Richard Milles, measuring only 37.8mm in diameter and 11.5mm in thickness
• Thanks to the tonneau case’s arched camber, this contemporary 18K white gold watch wears comfortably on the wrist
• The signature open dial is as emblematic of the brand as the tonneau case
• It features a second sapphire on which the numerals are printed and allows the movement to be viewed beneath
• A carbon fibre chapter ring frames the dial, adding further visual interest to this technically impressive watch
• The RM005 movement is equipped with a tungsten cobalt alloy rotor with titanium plates and bridges and is designed to offer maximum resistance to shocks
• The rotor also features variable inertia winglets, which allow for a change in winding intensity based on the wearer’s wrist movements 
• This 2000’s example is offered by a UK-based trade seller
• Presented as a watch-only lot
• Graded ‘A’ for condition by the vendor who reports the watch to be in good working order
