The RM 17-01 Tourbillon is one of RICHARD MILLE’s most classic dressy tourbillon pieces to date, continuing the brand’s signature slim tonneau-shaped case and open-worked dial design. This diamond-set edition incorporates highly intricate gem-setting craftsmanship, making it an undeniably eye-catching wristwatch.

The gold case is finished with a combination of polished and satin-brushed surfaces. The bezel and case sides are fully pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds, creating a striking and elegant appearance. Each diamond is custom-cut to perfectly fit the contours of the case.

The ultra-thin 0.3mm sapphire crystal dial features printed white numeral hour markers. At 1 o’clock is a fan-shaped power reserve indicator, and at 4 o’clock is the crown function display. The skeletonized dial allows a clear view of the movement’s intricate details—including beveling, brushing, polishing, and layered structural design—creating a vivid three-dimensional effect. The highlight is the one-minute tourbillon at 6 o’clock, whose skeletonized bridges make it appear to float above the dial as it rotates.

The watch is powered by the RM 17-01 manual winding movement, offering a 70-hour power reserve. The skeletonized baseplate and bridges are made of Grade 5 titanium. The movement features a free-sprung balance for superior shock resistance and a rapidly rotating barrel with a delta-shaped curve for excellent chronometric performance.

It comes with a black rubber strap. Official retail price has not been disclosed.
