Richard Mille RM 57-03 Tourbillon Sapphire Red Dragon

Richard Mille RM 57-03 Tourbillon Sapphire Red Dragon Limited Edition

Limited edition of 5 pieces.

The RM 57-03 features the mystical dragon, a legendary creature in Chinese Mythology that symbolizes constancy, success, strength, and power. Intricately carved from a sapphire block, renowned Geneva-based engraver Olivier Vaucher developed a process to polish the sapphire to enhance the natural intensity of the sapphire. The sapphire pieces are joined to solid red gold components that make up the dragon’s head, tail, limbs, and spine. The dragon’s tongue and eyes are hand-painted red, to match the endstone of the tourbillon, a ruby set in a rose gold chaton. The tripartite tonneau-shaped case is crafted from NTPT Carbon and measures 42.7mm x 14.55mm in depth. The watch is powered by the caliber RM 57-03 and is crafted from grade 5 titanium, and enables functions that include hours, minutes, and a power reserve of up to 48 hours. This timepiece is complemented by a rubber vented strap in black and secured with a folding clasp.

The RM 57-03 Tourbillon Sapphire Dragon is a natural addition to the collection with its combination of tried-and-tested traditional techniques and technical innovation. Only available in Asia, the RM 57-03 is produced in a limited edition of 55 pieces, 5 of which in a sapphire case.
