Introduced in 2004, the RM005 marked a significant milestone in Richard Mille’s history as the manufacture’s first automatic wristwatch, just three years after the launch of its inaugural RM001 tourbillon. Combining the brand’s distinctive tonneau-shaped case with an innovative movement built around a titanium baseplate, the RM005 introduced the patented variable-geometry rotor, allowing the winding mechanism to be adjusted according to the wearer’s level of activity. An important reference from the early years of Richard Mille, the RM005 perfectly embodies the technical innovation and uncompromising approach that would establish the manufacture as one of the most distinctive names in contemporary watchmaking. The present example has just returned from a complete service carried out by Richard Mille and is offered in exceptional, virtually as-new condition.
