The Richard Mille RM 012 replaced the traditional solid baseplate with a tubular structure built from Phynox tubes, a first in watchmaking when it launched in 2006. Its manual-winding tourbillon movement is fully exposed through a transparent dial, limited to just 30 pieces. A landmark in Richard Mille’s architectural approach to haute horlogerie.
