The Richard Mille RM051 special edition Michelle Yeoh is an exquisite timepiece that epitomizes luxury and sophistication. Created in collaboration with the renowned Oscar-winning best actress Michelle Yeoh, this watch combines precision engineering with elegant design.
The present example features the phoenix motif, embodying a blend of elegance, symbolism, and technical prowess. According to Chinese legend, the phoenix was the emblem of the Empress. It was known for being the kindest of birds, symbolizing grace, beauty, and strength. The body of the phoenix represents the five human qualities: its head, virtue; its wings, duty; its back, justice; its chest, good will; and its belly, reliability. This timepiece is intricately adorned with diamonds, black diamonds and emeralds, adding a touch of luxury and sophistication.
Projected into the realm of haute horlogerie, the phoenix takes on a new life within the RM 051, harmoniously integrated with the barrel, power reserve, and tourbillon. This fusion of artistry and engineering results in a highly complex and elegant watch that transcends mere timekeeping to become a poetic masterpiece.
