Richard Mille RM 010 AG TI 'Titanium Skeleton'

Some watches are statements. Others are chapters. The RM 010 is both.

Offered here is a pristine Richard Mille RM 010 preserved with collector discipline.

The watch is presented with all original accessories as delivered: box, papers, and full documentation. The case remains crisp, the sapphire crystal flawless, and the skeletonized dial retains its rich dimensionality and contrast. The movement performs precisely as it should, which is a point of particular importance given its recent Richard Mille factory service, ensuring both authenticity and mechanical confidence.

This is an RM 010 with provenance, condition, and completeness that elevate it firmly into collector-grade territory.

Foundational Form

Following the breakthrough success of the RM 005, Richard Mille’s first automatic wristwatch, the RM 010 emerged in 2006 as a refined evolution, quietly marking a turning point in the brand’s formative years. With it, Mille demonstrated that his design language wasn’t a one-off experiment, but a deeply considered architecture that would come to define contemporary independent horology.

Built around Mille’s now-signature tonneau case, the RM 010 sits larger than its predecessor. At 48mm × 39.3mm × 13.84mm it reflects the growing appetite for bold, technical design in the mid-2000s. But size alone was not the point. Mille used the increased space to further open up the calibre RMAS7: skeletonized bridges, a cutaway baseplate, and exposed gearwork that turns the dial into a structural landscape.

Though mechanically similar to the RM 005, the movement here is more ambitious in its presentation: a deliberate move toward transparency, depth, and tension. A 55-hour power reserve, variable-geometry rotor, and meticulous finishing make it not just a visual spectacle, but a high-performance calibre in every respect.

Context & Continuity

As the first evolution of Mille’s automatic platform, the RM 010 holds a unique position in the lineage. Linking the early years of the brand’s experimental boldness with the more architectural, technically resolved era that followed. While later references introduced tourbillons, chronographs, and exotic materials, the RM 010 remains refreshingly pure in intent — a concept watch that made it into full production, still grounded in the principles that launched the Mille philosophy.

In today’s market, where the brand’s newer references often dominate headlines, the RM 010 is increasingly seen as a reference point: the one that proved Mille’s ideas weren’t just radical, they were repeatable. And that matters.

In Mille’s own words: "The RM 010 is the incarnation of what a non-tourbillon wristwatch should be, according to my vision."
