Richard Mille RM002 Tourbillon
The RM002 represents Richard Mille's tourbillon offering within the brand's numbered reference system. Produced from 2002 to 2010, this reference features a skeletonized dial construction that exposes the mechanical elements beneath. The RM002 designation places it among the brand's early catalog entries.
The 39mm titanium case houses the manual-winding RM002 caliber, delivering a 70-hour power reserve. The skeletonized dial allows visibility of the movement architecture, while a sapphire crystal provides protection. Water resistance extends to 50 meters, and the watch is completed with a rubber strap. The fixed bezel maintains the case's streamlined profile.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking Richard Mille's interpretation of the tourbillon complication within a titanium sports watch format. The eight-year production run from 2002 to 2010 establishes its position as an early series offering. The manual movement and substantial power reserve cater to enthusiasts prioritizing mechanical engagement over convenience features.
A good ending to the saga. =D enjoy it in great health.
I have an RM005 and that is good for me so it was great seeing that photo but this is really special. Watch of the week for me.
If I was able to, I'd have both - RM005 is such an amazing watch, especially after wearing it for a day
After reading your initial post, I shared in the shock and worry about the dealer making such a mistake - but what a beauty you have here. Love the v1 of the 002, a classic. Enjoy it in good health, Colton
I was worried for you
I am glad it worked out
