Carrying on the progression of the rectangular case that was initially introduced with the RM016, the RM017 was introduced in 2010 as the first rectangular case shape in the tourbillion range. The present example perpetuates the craftsmanship brilliance of the brand as it contains hand-finished bridges, screws, and hands. With emphasis on the extra-flat design, the case curvature perfectly places the piece on just about any wrists. The manual winding movement has also set new standards as one of the thinnest tourbillon constructions ever created.
The RM017 exhibits the prevailing themes of motorsport and sailing in the current collection, demonstrated by its sleek and discreet design that are among the thinnest in the series. This timepiece stands as a sought-after choice among watch enthusiasts and collectors who are seeking for a sporty yet elegant-finished Richard Mille wristwatch.
