Richard Mille RM 017 Tourbillon Extra Flat Ref. RM 017

The RM 017 tourbillon was the first rectangular case shape in the tourbillon range, continuing the development of the rectangular case first launched with the RM 016. As with each Richard Mille watch, the RM 017 symbolized the Haute Horlogerie values of both tradition and excellence. As a consequence the bridges, screws and even the hands were hand-finished. With dimensions of 49.80 mm x 38.00 mm x 8.70 mm, the RM 017 extra flat tourbillon retains all the wrist fitting curvature and tapering towards 12 and 6 o’clock that every Richard Mille fan has come to expect. The caliber RM017, with 23 jewels and beating at 3Hz, measures 31.20 mm x 29.45 mm while its thickness is only of 4.65 mm. As a consequence the RM 017’s manual winding movement set new standards as one of the thinnest tourbillon constructions ever created.
