Richard Mille RM50-27-01 NTPT Limited Editions

Hide your retirement fund, because Richard Mille introduces the exclusive RM 50-27-01 NTPT Limited Edition, a masterpiece available only in select US boutiques. This timepiece combines cutting-edge materials and innovative design, reflecting Richard Mille’s commitment to high-tech craftsmanship.

Exceptional Case Material

Crafted with precision, the watch features a distinctive tonneau case made from NTPT (North Thin Ply Technology) carbon. This material, a fusion of woven carbon fiber and resin, offers strength and lightness. The NTPT carbon allows for unique shapes and boasts a top-grained finishing effect resembling wood.

Aesthetic Highlights

The top and bottom bezels are treated with a rough machined matte finish, enhancing the wood grain appearance. Adorned with screws securing the case elements, the design, while not revolutionary, showcases a pleasing grained finishing. The red accents complement the matching red rubber strap, adding a touch of vibrancy.

Powerful Movement

Underneath the captivating exterior lies a powerful movement originally designed for the RM 27-01 Rafael Nadal. The manually wound tourbillon movement boasts a 45-hour power reserve, a skeletonized titanium baseplate, and bridges made from aluminum-lithium. Intriguingly, the entire movement is suspended within the case by four braided steel cables, creating a visually stunning effect.

Technical Design

The open, architectural design of the RM 50-27-01 is a testament to its technical prowess. Features such as star-headed titanium spline screws supporting the bridges and the contrast between black, grey, and silver tones with purple rubies for the tourbillon and mainspring contribute to its unique appeal.

Minute Scale and Minimal Branding

The dial is surrounded by a minute scale, carrying minimal branding, emphasizing the red and black color scheme. This attention to detail showcases Richard Mille’s commitment to creating a visually striking and technically advanced timepiece.
