RICHARD MILLE RM 72-01
Equipped with the brand’s first in-house chronograph featuring a patented design, the RM 72-01 is simply a masterpiece. Everything about the watch was designed to emphasize uncompromising quality and optimize function. For example, instead of a casing ring, the movement is mounted on chassis-mounting rubbers fixed by titanium screws.
