More difficult than one would have thought...
All excellent answers with very valid reasoning. Could be the 001, Phillipe Starck 005 or the 004. I have been reading your wonderful forum for quite some time as I have been an RM fan for years. Was recently fortunate enough to try on the 002WG, 003PG, 005FM in Ti and PT, 009 (my personal favorite) and the 010WG. For this I am going to guess to date it would be the 004 but with production under way I believe this will change. R
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...
