Watch Paparazzi

Doctor Eyup Celik spotted wearing Richard Mille

Turkish celebrity dentist and social media personality Eyup Celik recently surfaced wearing one of the most coveted Richard Mille pieces in circulation — the RM 61-01 Yohan Blake Final Edition — a watch that commands nearly four times its retail price on the secondary market.

The Richard Mille RM 61-01 was developed in close collaboration with Jamaican sprinting legend Yohan Blake, the second-fastest man in recorded history over 100 meters. Richard Mille engineered the watch to perform under the extreme physiological conditions of elite sprinting, including intense vibration and G-force loads during arm swing. The case of this final edition is constructed from two of Richard Mille's most recognizable proprietary materials: Carbon TPT and White Quartz TPT. Carbon TPT is produced by layering carbon fiber filaments at 45-degree angles and impregnating them with a colored resin, then cutting the laminate to reveal its distinctive marbled striations. White Quartz TPT undergoes a similar filament-winding process using quartz fibers, producing the pale, almost ceramic-like finish that contrasts sharply with the dark carbon. Together, the two materials give the RM 61-01 a case that is exceptionally rigid, extremely light, and visually unmistakable.

Powering the watch is a manually wound caliber offering hours, minutes, and seconds display alongside a power reserve of approximately 55 hours. The movement architecture is consistent with Richard Mille's racing-inspired philosophy — skeletonized, legible, and built to exacting tolerances with a baseplate and bridges machined from grade 5 titanium. The orange strap ties directly to the Yohan Blake collaboration's visual identity, referencing both Jamaican national colors and the athletic urgency of the partnership.

With production capped at 150 pieces globally, the RM 61-01 Final Edition sits at the intersection of sports collaboration and high horology that Richard Mille has made its signature territory. Celik, who has built a substantial following through his dental practice and lifestyle content, wears the piece as a marker of connoisseurship within a celebrity demographic increasingly fluent in ultra-luxury watchmaking.

At a retail price of $187,000 USD, the RM 61-01 was already positioned firmly in collector territory. On the grey market, however, the watch trades at approximately $700,000 USD — a premium of nearly 275 percent over list — reflecting the scarcity of the final edition and sustained demand for Richard Mille's athlete-collaboration references among serious collectors.
