Catalogue Note
Richard Mille introduced the RM023 in 2009 with a skeletonized dial and new dimensions of case (45.00 mm x 37.80 mm x 11.25 mm) and its size is midway between that of the RM 007 and the RM 010. Applying an asymmetrical layout with roman numerals in appliqué on sapphire with an unusual sculpted Alcryn collared crown, this new design is both advanced and elegant. Taking inspiration from the world of F1 motor racing, this new model unites everything essential in Richard Mille’s philosophy with a sophisticated appearance as well as absolute comfort to wear under all imaginable conditions.
