The Richard Mille RM26-01 Panda Tourbillon watch is a perfect blend of high-end watchmaking and luxurious jewelry. Limited in release, this exquisite timepiece pays homage to the beloved giant panda, a symbol of innocence, kindness, and peace. As China’s national treasure and an ambassador for endangered species worldwide, the giant panda holds a special place in hearts around the globe.
The panda on this watch is meticulously crafted from 18K white gold and is beautifully adorned with diamonds and black sapphires. It sits amidst a bamboo forest, skillfully depicted with hand-sculpted and painted gold bamboo leaves and stems. This imaginative artistic creation brings a sense of joy to those lucky enough to have witnessed pandas in their natural habitat.
The watch features a complex tonneau-shaped case that presents numerous challenges during production due to its intricate lines and angles, requiring extensive testing. Its bezel, mid-case, and case back are made of stainless steel, perfectly harmonized with titanium screws, allowing a stunning view of the movement from multiple angles through the dual-skeletonized base plate. The case is fully encrusted with dazzling diamonds, exuding an aura of noble elegance that captivates attention and affection.
