I'd guess the 004 as well, AS OF THE TIME OF THIS CONTEST.
If the 004 were a separate model by itself (not including current v.2 iterations) it would definitely win as lowest number produced.
I don't think the Starck unique piece is a fair entry.

Richard Mille Competition: QUESTION 1:
Question 1: Which Richard Mille watch is the rarest? (In other words, which has the lowest number in terms of watches produced. This is to be actual watch numbers: such as RM005; V1 and V2 subscripts do not count.) Up for grabs: 15 Richard Mille caps. The...
my answer
RM 005-1 richard mille by philippe stark 1 unique piece for the "only watch 2005" charity auction Andrew, is this considered "an actual watch number" ? Otherwise, it's the RM001 as SteveH has already mentioned. Plus, RM001 isn't even on RM's website anymo...
yep 17 for the 001
20 006's 25 009's The only question is whether they made less than 17 8's or 4's. I doubt it.
Okay, the Stark piece is a one off. So it has to be the rarest.
But for production pieces, I'm still sticking with RM004
RM001
There are only 17 RM001s. 11 with brass base plates. So are there more than 17 RM004s out there yet? Do you know, Andrew?
Question with the RM4's
There are only the RM004-V1 and RM004-V2 right? There's no plain RM004 right? - Anthony
Well...
Technically, when the RM004 first came out, it was just RM004. Then the RM004-V2 was born, and the original RM004 had to be renamed the RM004-v1.
You guys all think they made less 4's than 8's? Interesting...
I know of at least 5 004's. I only know of 1 008. The 001 is the only model of the range that I've never actually seen or even heard of anyone owning for that matter.
WOW! So many answers! My thanks to everyone who contributed. The answer, as I see it,
is (drum roll please), the RM001. A lot of people know a great deal about Richard Mille watches and thank you to everyone. Given how I defined the question, where V1, V2, 1A, FM and anything do not count, then the RM001 is the rarest. True, the RM005-1A i...
