About the Richard Mille RM 63-01
Richard Mille introduced the RM 63-01 as part of its effort to broaden the collection beyond its iconic tonneau form, delivering a round 42.7 mm case that retains the brand's hallmark skeletonization and avant-garde material choices. The open-worked automatic movement showcases the brand's philosophy of treating the movement itself as the dial, with bridges and plates machined to reveal depth and mechanical complexity at every angle. The RM 63-01 occupies a compelling position in the Richard Mille catalog as an automatic reference, making it more accessible in terms of winding convenience while still delivering the striking visual drama and technical refinement the brand is known for. Collectors seeking a round Richard Mille for sale often point to the RM 63-01 as one of the most distinctive references in the automatic segment of the lineup.
What to Look For
When evaluating an RM 63-01, buyers should confirm the full skeleton dial is intact and undamaged, as the open movement is both the watch's greatest aesthetic asset and its most delicate element. Case condition, original bracelet or strap, box, papers, and service history all significantly influence value in the pre-owned Richard Mille market, where authenticated documentation commands a meaningful premium.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the case size of the Richard Mille RM 63-01?
The Richard Mille RM 63-01 features a round case measuring 42.7 mm in diameter, which is notably distinct from the brand's more common tonneau-shaped references. This round profile makes it a popular choice among collectors who prefer a more traditional case geometry with Richard Mille's unconventional skeletonized aesthetic.
Is the Richard Mille RM 63-01 an automatic or manual winding watch?
