Overview
Titanium case with engraved racing stripes, Le Mans Classic edition
Richard Mille was principal partner and official timekeeper of Le Mans Classic, the vintage-car meeting held on the Sarthe circuit, and issued RM 011 editions for successive runnings of the event. The auction record identifies this watch as the RM011 Felipe Massa Le Mans Classic, a titanium edition of 150 pieces dated to circa 2018.
The accents are white, yellow, powder blue and turquoise, and the case carries two racing stripes engraved at 12 and 6 o’clock. The watch is on a rubber strap with a titanium Richard Mille deployant clasp.

Design and engineering
- Titanium caseThe tripartite tonneau case is grade 5 titanium. More than 200 separate machining operations are required for the case alone.
- Engraved racing stripesTwo racing stripes are engraved into the case at 12 and 6 o’clock. On earlier Le Mans Classic editions the double “Le Mans” stripe was microblasted into the satin-finished bezel rather than engraved.
- Colour schemeWhite, yellow, powder blue and turquoise are applied across the dial furniture, counters and flange.
- Calibre RMAC1Skeletonised automatic winding movement in grade 5 titanium, hand finished, with flyback chronograph, 60-minute countdown timer at 9 o’clock, 12-hour totaliser at 6 o’clock, oversize date at 12 o’clock, month indicator between 4 and 5 o’clock and annual calendar. 68 jewels.
- Variable-geometry rotorThe rotor’s winding efficiency is adjustable by repositioning weights on its arms.
- Earlier Le Mans Classic editionsTwo earlier RM 011 Le Mans Classic releases are documented: 2008, in 150 titanium pieces and 50 in red gold and titanium; and 2012, in 150 titanium pieces, which added a 24-hour counter at 6 o’clock and used green and white on the flange and logo.
