Overview
A blue skull in a white ceramic case
Richard Mille produced the RM 52-01 with skulls in several colours. This one is blue, set against a white ceramic case and a white rubber strap, with a red gold crown.
The skull is the movement’s baseplate and bridges, the jaws holding the ruby of the tourbillon cage and the back of the skull acting as the centre bridge.
