The Richard Mille RM 029 is the Automatic with Oversize Date: a 48 x 39.70 x 12.60 mm tonneau watch introduced in 2011, built around the skeletonised calibre RMAS7 with hours, minutes, seconds and a large date at 4 o'clock. Richard Mille now lists it among its historical models. This listing, RM029LMC, is the Le Mans Classic edition, in the event's green and white Quartz TPT with a 24-hour display at 2 o'clock and a white rubber strap; Bizak & Co. lists it from $269,699.

What sets the RM 029 Le Mans Classic apart

• A date you can read at a glance. Richard Mille designed the RM 029 to make the date legible in all conditions, with a large horizontal display at 4 o'clock and an oversize date mechanism inspired by the RM 011. On this edition the date window is framed in orange.
• Calibre RMAS7. The RM 029's skeletonised automatic has a baseplate and bridges in grade 5 titanium with Titalyt treatment, a black PVD-treated oversize date bridge, Incabloc shock protection on both the dial and movement sides, 32 jewels and a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vph). Richard Mille says the skeletonisation took more than ten months to finalise, testing numerous versions of the titanium baseplate so the movement lost none of its strength.
• Variable-geometry rotor. Its arms are grade 2 titanium with adjustable 18K white gold ribs, the weight segment along the edge is white gold and the ball bearings are ceramic, so the winding can be adapted to how active the wearer is.
• No casing ring. The movement is mounted on ISO SW chassis mounting rubbers fixed by four titanium screws, an approach Richard Mille compares with the way a Formula 1 car's chassis and engine are developed together.
• Le Mans Classic colours. Green Quartz TPT with two white stripes across the bezel, a white caseband, an orange crown collar, the Le Mans Classic chequered-flag logo between 7 and 8 o'clock and the RM029 marking in orange at 9 o'clock, on a white rubber strap. Richard Mille has made a special watch for every Le Mans Classic since 2008, ten in all up to the RM 30-01 of 2025, each in the event's green and white.
• 24-hour display at 2 o'clock. This edition adds a 24-hour scale at 2 o'clock with the 16 highlighted. On the 2025 RM 30-01 Le Mans Classic, Richard Mille explains its highlighted 16 as the start time of the race.
• Quartz TPT. Layers of quartz fibre no thicker than 45 microns, each laid at 45 degrees to the one before and cured under pressure at 120°C; the fibre is naturally white and the colour comes from the matrix. Richard Mille develops the material with North Thin Ply Technology.

Richard Mille RM 029 versions compared

Richard Mille gives the RM 029 case as 48 x 39.70 x 12.60 mm: 48 mm long and 39.70 mm wide, so an RM 029 listed as 40 mm is the same case. Prices are Bizak & Co. listings on October 19, 2026.

The RM 030, also introduced in 2011, uses the calibre RMAR1, whose rotor declutches when the power reserve reaches 50 hours and re-engages at 40, with an indicator at 12 o'clock; Bizak & Co. lists the titanium RM 030 from $148,799. The watch for the 2025 Le Mans Classic is the 150-piece RM 30-01 Le Mans Classic, from $320,849.

Checks before you pay the balance

• The edition details. Ask for photos that show the green Quartz TPT with its two white stripes, the white caseband, the orange crown collar, the Le Mans Classic logo and the 24-hour display at 2 o'clock, and the caseback.
• The date. Ask for a short video of the date being advanced: the numerals should change cleanly and sit centred in the window at 4 o'clock.
• Case and screws. Ask for close photos of the bezel, caseband and caseback edges and of the screw heads around the bezel, which should be undamaged.
• Strap, papers and service. This edition is shown on a white rubber strap. Ask which strap, box and papers come with the watch and when it was last serviced, and have them named in the quote.
