The Richard Mille RM 037 is an automatic tonneau-shaped watch offered across both ladies' and unisex sizing, distinguished from the related RM 07-01 by a case profile closer to Richard Mille's standard tonneau proportions rather than the RM 07-01's more sharply curved, ergonomic shape. Like the rest of Richard Mille's automatic range it uses a skeletonised, openworked dial that exposes the movement architecture, and it has been produced in Carbon TPT, white gold and rose gold, with the precious metal versions frequently set with diamonds. This guide covers the RM 037's specifications, its case material range, how it compares with the RM 07-01, and current sourcing prices. Bizak & Co. sources the RM 037 to order; the Richard Mille collection lists the references we can seek.

Who is the RM 037 designed for?
Richard Mille markets the RM 037 across both its ladies' and unisex ranges, and its case proportions are closer to the brand's standard tonneau shape than the more sharply curved RM 07-01, which makes it a reasonable option for a smaller-wristed man as well as for a woman who prefers a less curved case profile. The reference sits alongside the RM 07-01 as one of two main entry points into Richard Mille's automatic ladies' and smaller-format watches, with the choice between them largely a matter of case shape preference rather than function, since both share the same automatic, skeletonised architecture. A buyer choosing between the two is generally better served trying both on in person, given how much the perceived size and comfort of a Richard Mille tonneau case depends on its exact curvature rather than on its stated dimensions alone.
Case materials: Carbon TPT, white gold and rose gold
The RM 037 has been produced chiefly in Carbon TPT, Richard Mille's layered carbon composite that gives each case a distinctive marbled finish unique to that specific watch, and in white gold and rose gold, both of which are commonly finished with diamond-set bezels or fuller pavé settings. Carbon TPT versions are the lightest on the wrist and give the most technical, understated look against the skeletonised dial. White gold sits tonally between carbon and rose gold and photographs closer to platinum. Rose gold, particularly in fully diamond-set executions, is the most jewellery-forward option in the range and commands the highest prices accordingly.
RM 037 vs RM 07-01: case shape and material range compared
| RM 037 | RM 07-01 | |
|---|---|---|
| Case shape | Tonneau, closer to Richard Mille's standard proportions | Curved tonneau, ergonomic for a smaller wrist |
| Sizing | Ladies' and unisex | Primarily ladies' |
| Material range | Carbon TPT, white gold, rose gold, diamond-set variants | Carbon, ceramic, coloured ceramics, white gold, rose gold |
| Movement | Automatic self-winding | Automatic self-winding |
Buyers who prefer a case shape closer to Richard Mille's men's references, or who want the option of unisex sizing, look to the RM 037; those who want the RM 07-01's more sharply ergonomic case and its broader material range, including coloured ceramics, look there instead. Our RM 07-01 guide covers that reference in full.
How does the RM 037 wear?
The RM 037's closer-to-standard tonneau proportions mean it wears more like a scaled Richard Mille sports watch than the RM 07-01's specifically ergonomic curve, which is part of why it suits a slightly wider range of wrist sizes including smaller-wristed men. Carbon TPT versions are markedly lighter than the precious metal executions, and fully diamond-set rose gold examples add significant weight and presence, shifting the watch's character from technical toward jewellery. The rubber strap keeps the watch practical for daily wear across all material options, though the diamond-set versions in particular suit dressier occasions better than the plain carbon executions.
Servicing and caring for an RM 037
An automatic, skeletonised movement needs the same periodic cleaning, lubrication and timing regulation as any high-end mechanical watch, and diamond-set precious metal versions add stone security to the list of things worth checking at each service. Use Richard Mille's own service network or an independent watchmaker experienced with the brand's construction, and ask for service history and, on diamond-set examples, the date stones were last inspected, before buying a used watch. Keep the watch wound through regular wear or use a watch winder during extended periods off the wrist. The rubber strap should be kept away from prolonged sun, heat and water exposure, and a Carbon TPT case, while durable, benefits from the same careful handling as any high-value composite material to avoid surface damage to its distinctive marbled finish.

Is the RM 037 a good investment?
The RM 037's price range is unusually wide within a single reference, from Carbon TPT executions in the low-to-mid six figures to fully diamond-set rose gold pieces well above that, and its resale behaviour follows the same split as the RM 07-01: technical, material-driven demand at the carbon end and jewellery-driven demand at the diamond-set end. Buy it for the case shape and material that suits you rather than as a short-term trade; ask for a written cash-buy assessment if resale timing matters to your decision. As with the RM 07-01, comparing quotes by specific material and stone specification rather than by reference number alone gives a clearer picture of what an individual watch is worth, given how far apart a Carbon TPT and a fully paved rose gold RM 037 can sit in price despite sharing the same case shape and movement.
Buying a used RM 037: what to check
- Case material and finish. Confirm the exact material, whether Carbon TPT, white gold or rose gold, and any diamond specification against Richard Mille's documentation.
- Diamond setting. On bezel-set or fully paved examples, check that stones sit flush with none missing or re-set with a visible mismatch.
- Winding rotor. As an automatic movement, listen and feel for smooth rotor action when the watch is gently shaken.
- Carbon TPT surface. Each Carbon TPT case has a unique marbled pattern; compare against seller photographs closely rather than relying on a generic reference image.
- Papers and box. Richard Mille's warranty and documentation carry real weight in resale; buy full-set where possible.
- Price against the band. An RM 037 offered well under the sourced-catalogue range above for its material is the single most reliable warning sign.
