Richard Mille

An innovative and very sought after, skeletonized wrist chronograph with flyback function and oversized date

Sold

The RM11-03 RG's traditional 42 x 50 mm tonneau-shaped case is made in pink gold and is 16.15 mm high. The chronograph push-pieces have the form of pedals framed by NTPT carbon inserts. The winding crown is reminiscent of a wheel rim with centre lock and tread pattern.
The skeletonised dial has an extreme depth effect, created by the combination of the bevelled and polished grade 5 titanium bridges with the black PVD-coated movement parts. It displays hours, minutes and seconds and is features an annual calendar with large date and flyback chronograph function. Hands and indexes are coated with luminous material for better readability in the dark. The RM11-03 RG is powered by the RMAC3 manufacture movement, which consists of 500 individual parts and offers a power reserve of approximately 55 hours. All in all, the RM11-03 RG from Richard Mille is a highly sought-after, high-quality wristwatch with a unique, characterful look and highly sophisticated technology.

Richard Mille launched his own range of watches in 2001 after having already had a long and successful career in the watch industry; his avant-garde and radically high tech concept of modern watchmaking guaranteed an immediate and overwhelming success. His timepieces must be considered pioneering in a technical as well as an esthetical context - they take their inspiration from Formula One fast cars, materials and production processes. They are developed in close cooperation with Audemars Piguet's Renaud & Papi, who are one of the watch industry's most leading innovators. A team of the most highly skilled and experienced makers realise Richard Mille's dreams in combining the traditional techniques, materials and skills of watchmaking with his cutting-edge concept of these radically different watches.
