Overview
A snow-set white gold case
This execution carries a snow setting across the white gold case: round stones of varying diameters set close together without a repeating pattern, so that the metal beneath is largely concealed and the surface reads as continuous. The setting covers the upper and lower bezels and the case sides, and the crown is set to match.
The dial is the standard RM 57-03 arrangement — a sapphire-bodied dragon joined to solid red gold head, tail, limbs and spine, with red-painted tongue and eyes and a ruby endstone at the tourbillon — on a black rubber strap.

Design and engineering
- Snow settingStones of differing diameters are set in a non-repeating arrangement, sized and placed individually so that the surface has no visible grid and little exposed metal. A technique rather than a point on the coverage scale.
- Calibre RM57-03Manual winding tourbillon indicating hours and minutes, on a grade 5 titanium baseplate and bridges, running at 21,600 vph (3 Hz) with a 48-hour power reserve.
- Sapphire dragonThe body sections are machined and polished from a block of sapphire by the Geneva engraving house Olivier Vaucher, who developed a polishing process for the material, then joined to solid red gold parts forming the head, tail, limbs and spine.
- Red-painted detailThe dragon’s tongue and eyes are hand-painted red, matching the ruby endstone of the tourbillon, which is set in a rose gold chaton.
- Three-part tonneau caseThree-part tonneau case measuring 42.70 mm across and 14.55 mm thick, with sapphire crystals front and back and a water resistance of 50 m.
- DistributionThis execution does not appear in Richard Mille’s published material for the reference, which publishes no edition size or year for it.
