Extra flat, by Richard Mille standards
By Priya Nair, Singapore ยท
If I'm ever going to wear a Richard Mille with a cocktail dress, it will be this one. At 7.75 mm thick it's practically a dress watch by the brand's standards.
38.7 mm wide, titanium tonneau, skeleton dial with date, rubber strap, 30 m. The CRMA6 automatic gives 50 hours. Titanium means you hardly feel it, and the shape is tidier than most RMs, which tend toward the architectural.
The price is 140,000 to 160,000 dollars. For titanium and rubber. I know, I know. This is the RM market, where allocation is a matter of patience and connections, and where resale has held up well enough that people treat these as currency. I'm not comfortable treating any watch as currency, and I'd want to be sure I loved it before paying this much.
If you're going to have one RM, this is the one I'd choose. It's the least loud of a very loud family.
