About the Richard Mille RM 055
Introduced as part of Richard Mille's ongoing athlete partnership program, the RM 055 was created with Bubba Watson — the two-time Masters champion — with the explicit goal of producing a watch rugged enough to survive the physical demands of a golf swing without adding meaningful weight to the wearer's wrist. The manual-winding movement is displayed through a fully skeletonized dial, a hallmark of Richard Mille's design language that showcases the brand's horological engineering while keeping mass to an absolute minimum. Case material choices across the RM 055 family reflect Richard Mille's materials science ambitions: grade 5 titanium offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, NTPT Carbon delivers a distinctive layered fiber aesthetic unique to each piece, and black ceramic provides exceptional scratch resistance with a bold monochromatic presence. Regional and boutique-exclusive editions add collectibility and scarcity to each variant, reinforcing the RM 055's standing as both a serious tool watch and a high-value collector's piece.
What to Look For
Buyers comparing RM 055 references should pay close attention to case material, as titanium examples tend to be more accessible entry points into the reference while NTPT Carbon, ceramic, and limited regional editions command stronger premiums driven by lower production numbers and heightened collector demand. Dial and case colorway — such as the Black White Drive treatment or the grey boutique finish — also materially affects value, with visually distinctive configurations historically attracting more competitive secondary-market pricing. Condition and provenance documentation, including box and papers, are especially important for brand-new examples listed as such, since unworn status with full packaging can represent a meaningful premium over pre-owned equivalents in the same reference.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Richard Mille RM 055 different from other RM models?
The RM 055 is specifically co-developed with Bubba Watson and centers on a manual-winding skeletonized movement housed in a lightweight tonneau case, distinguishing it from Richard Mille's automatic or tourbillon references. Its identity is closely tied to the golf world and to exotic material experimentation, resulting in a broader-than-usual range of case materials and limited regional editions within a single reference number.
Are the Japan Edition and Asia Edition RM 055 watches significantly rarer than standard versions?
Yes — regionally designated editions like the NTPT Carbon Japan Edition and the black ceramic Asia Edition are produced in smaller allocations intended for specific markets, which typically translates to lower availability on the secondary market and stronger collector interest. If you are specifically seeking one of these variants, acting promptly when a verified example becomes available is advisable given their relative scarcity.
What should I verify when buying a Richard Mille RM 055 for sale on the secondary market?
Authentication is paramount with any Richard Mille purchase: buyers should confirm the serial number, examine the case back engravings, and verify that the skeletonized movement finishing matches known production standards for the specific material variant. Bizak and Co. authenticates every RM 055 before listing, and brand-new examples in the collection are presented with their original packaging to support full provenance.
Titanium vs NTPT Carbon vs black ceramic — which RM 055 entry should I start with?
Titanium is usually the simplest material read on this hub (×1 listed). NTPT / Carbon TPT (including Japan Edition) is the layered-fiber look; black ceramic Asia Edition is the monochrome regional card. Premiums and scarcity differ by edition — Q2 asks for each material: MISSING. Compare photos of the specific watch, not a generic “RM 055” ask.
What is Black White Drive on the RM 055?
Black White Drive is a colorway / configuration title on this hub — two brand-new cards at draft time. Confirm dial/case treatment on photos of the specific watch. One of those SKUs ends RM-56 in the product field; the title is still RM 055 — ask us to confirm the reference on the piece before you pay the balance.
Do Japan and Asia editions cost more than a “standard” RM 055?
They are regional / allocation labels with tighter secondary supply in dealer experience language already on this page. Printed Q2 ask deltas for Japan vs Asia vs standard: MISSING. Treat edition name as part of the specification.
Are you a Richard Mille authorized dealer?
No. Bizak & Co. is an independent Miami Beach dealer. RM 055 examples are sourced to order and authenticated in-house. Ask for photos of the specific watch and settle box/papers with us before you pay the balance.
