Richard Mille - RM 65-01 - 2023

The RM 65-01 houses one of the most technically demanding complications in watchmaking — the split-seconds chronograph — within Richard Mille's signature Carbon TPT architecture. The ability to time two simultaneous events independently requires a movement of considerable complexity, placing this reference among the brand's most accomplished creations.

The tonneau-shaped Carbon TPT case showcases the distinctive layered carbon fibre construction that has become synonymous with Richard Mille. Each case is unique in its patterning, a result of the manufacturing process that bonds hundreds of carbon fibre layers under extreme heat and pressure. Sapphire crystals front and rear provide unobstructed views of the movement. Water resistant to 50 metres.

The skeletonized dial exposes the split-seconds mechanism in its full complexity, with colour accents punctuating the open architecture. The chronograph display and rattrapante hand are clearly legible against the layered backdrop of movement components.

The automatic movement features Richard Mille's variable geometry rotor system and drives the split-seconds chronograph complication — two chronograph hands that can be started together, split to time a second event, then reunited and stopped independently.

A black rubber strap provides a sporty yet refined wearing experience, secured by a titanium deployant clasp that complements the technical character of the piece.

Excellent condition from 2023 means minimal wear — expect light surface marks on the case, maintained in nearly new condition. Complete with original box, papers, and certificate of authenticity (No. 50978). Originally purchased from the Richard Mille Miami boutique. The manufacturer's warranty has expired; this watch is covered by Pride and Pinion's comprehensive 12-month warranty from the date of purchase.

The RM 65-01 represents the convergence of material innovation and horological mastery — a split-seconds chronograph built for the 21st century.
