In the adrenaline-fueled forge of Formula 1 horology, the Richard Mille reference RM 011 AH WG was launched in 2007 and has since reached iconic status. Born from the cockpit of Felipe Massa's Ferrari, the tonneau-shaped beast, measuring 50mm x 42mm, melds grade 5 titanium mid-case with an 18k white gold bezel and lugs, its skeletonized skeleton affixed via silent-blocks for vibration-dampened supremacy. The current limited-edition example further enhances the luxurious and stealthy aesthetic, with the addition of 277 finely set black sapphires all along the front bezel and case. The contrast of the dark PVD-coated 18k white gold, with the lighter titanium case sides further enhance its appeal, making this an exceedingly rare combination.
The beating core is the automatic Caliber RMAC1: a 68-jewel marvel with variable-geometry rotor, unleashing flyback chronograph, reset and restart in a breath, alongside hours, minutes, seconds, a 60-minute countdown at 9 o'clock, 12-hour totalizer, oversize date at 12 and month at 4:30. Tachymeter-scaled edges and non-slip pusher ribs evoke racetrack grip, while the rubber strap adds to the racing inspired appeal. Limited to just 10 pieces, the superbly rare Richard Mille RM011 AH WG, adorned with black sapphires is truly a statement piece that will likely not be seen at auction for a long time to come.
