The Richard Mille RM 07-01 represents the brand's commitment to lightweight materials and technical innovation in ultra-luxury watchmaking. Powered by the in-house CRMA6 calibre, the movement features a tourbillon escapement visible through the skeletonized dial, with a frequency of 50Hz and approximately 50 hours of power reserve. The architecture emphasizes legibility and mechanical precision across a compact footprint.

The RM 07-01 houses its movement in a 37.75mm white ceramic case, a material choice that reduces weight while maintaining exceptional durability. Water resistance reaches 50 meters, suitable for the sports watch positioning Richard Mille maintains across its collection. The signature tonneau shape, tapered lugs, and integrated bracelet are hallmarks of the reference. Dial variations include the notable red jasper center field variant spotted on Princess Charlène, often set with brilliant-cut diamonds for additional visual impact and personalization.

Produced from 2015 onwards with limited annual output, the RM 07-01 maintains significant collector demand and secondary market appreciation. Retail pricing hovers around €135,000, though market values fluctuate based on condition, provenance, and specific material combinations. Ceramic variants command premium pricing relative to titanium predecessors, reflecting both material costs and collector preference for modern production examples.
