Historical significance
Richard Mille Rm 39-01 Automatic Winding Flyback Chronograph Aviation 50Mm Stainless Steel Black Rubber Men's Watch sits within Richard Mille's Mille Rm line, introduced in 2006. It carries the house codes established since 2001 — 18k yellow gold case, black lacquer dial dial and automatic chronograph calibre — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.
Interesting facts
- Early production dials show a slightly different minute track, and collectors pay a premium for them.
- The case is finished by hand, alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces in a single pass so the edges stay razor sharp.

Brand history
Richard Mille has spent more than 25 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's RM 011, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.
Richard Mille & Dominique Guenat established Richard Mille in 2001, working from Switzerland at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every Richard Mille calibre produced today.
