The Richard Mille RM59-01 Tourbillon watch is a dazzling specimen in the brand’s collection, designed with athletic competition in mind. Featuring a striking T-diamond embedded case, this model stands out with its unique lizard-inspired embellishments.

The watch’s case presents a fresh interpretation of Richard Mille’s beloved tonneau shape, with an innovative extension between 2 and 5 o’clock that offers both visual appeal and functional enhancement by preventing crown and wrist friction, thus ensuring ultimate wearing comfort. The case measures 51.10 x 43.10 x 15.20 mm.

Upon first glance, the vibrant four-prong bridge on the dial captures attention. This bridge showcases remarkable flexibility, securing the entire movement and cushioning the watch from external impacts.

Under the hood, this watch features a manually wound tourbillon movement with approximately 48 hours of power reserve. With a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, combined with an optimized gear system and variable inertia balance wheel, the RM59-01 achieves an exemplary balance between performance, regularity, and power storage.

Protecting the impeccable dial is a sapphire crystal glass with dual anti-reflective treatments. The glass has a thickness of 1.2 mm at the center and 1.95 mm at the edges.

The watch offers two types of straps for selection: a lightweight and breathable canvas strap with a convenient TPT carbon fiber clasp, or a soft, comfortable fluoroelastomer strap known for its wear and corrosion resistance, complete with a handy folding clasp spring.
