At the beginning of the 2000s, Richard Mille found himself at a crossroads. How could he expand the brand while staying faithful to its core DNA? The RM016 emerged as the solution, making its debut in 2007. This watch marked a stark departure, forsaking the brand's signature tonneau case in favor of a more angular rectangular shape. Moreover, the RM016 incorporated an ultra-thin movement and a shift towards h🐟igher levels of movement finishing and refinement when compared to the earliest RM wristwatches. This evolution continues to be evident in current references.

The RM016 was offered in a range of metals and dials, with our current example being a titanium model, considered more desirable than the gold versions. The present example has been preserved in very good overall condition, and is complete with its presentation box, warranty paperwor𒈔k, specifications cards and owner’s manual.
