Skeletonised and tonneau-shaped, it is 6.2 mm thick and weighs 8 grams, beating at 28,800 vph (4 Hz) with 50 hours of power reserve. Richard Mille’s eighth in-house calibre and its first automatic tourbillon, introduced in the RM 71-01 of 2018, with 1,000 hours of development recorded for it.
- Stone compositionsapphires and yellow sapphires, diamonds, tsavorites, peridots, lapis lazuli, chrysolemon and malachite, set in geometric motifs over the case and dial.
- Dial plateThe dial plate is 0.9 mm thick and hand-set, with the central decoration specific to this model. Richard Mille records more than six months of work to validate the positioning of the stones across the collection. Lapis lazuli, chrysolemon and malachite are worked into the plate alongside the faceted stones.
- Gem-set rotorBidirectional and gem-set, with variable geometry allowing winding to be matched to the wearer’s activity level.
- Open baseplateThe baseplate protecting the tourbillon’s rotation is left open to preserve transparency through the movement.
