Sapphire Case Engineering

Crafting the sapphire case demands more than 1,000 hours of machining and hand-finishing. Each surface and curve is shaped with extreme precision, resulting in a crystalline case that captures and refracts light from every angle. The flowing edges and polished contours demonstrate the exceptional difficulty of working with solid sapphire.

Architectural Openworked Dial

The openworked dial highlights the geometric framework of the movement. A sandblasted rose gold inner bezel echoes the graceful arches of a Gothic cathedral, adding depth and architectural harmony. At 6 o’clock, the flying tourbillon appears to float effortlessly thanks to its bridge-free construction. The skeletonized barrel at 12 o’clock reveals the winding state directly, emphasizing mechanical transparency.

Movement and Technical Excellence

Inside the case lies the RM 75-01 hand-wound movement, operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour and offering a 65-hour power reserve. The titanium baseplate adopts a triangular structural design that enhances rigidity while maintaining a lightweight feel. The rhodium-plated gear train improves durability and adds a brilliant visual finish.

Limited Editions

The clear sapphire edition is limited to 15 pieces, while the blue and violet sapphire versions are each limited to 10 pieces. With such strict production numbers, the RM 75-01 Flying Tourbillon Sapphire stands as one of the most exclusive timepieces in the Richard Mille collection.
