Sleek Complexity: Richard Mille’s Ultra-Thin RM 017 Tourbillon
The Richard Mille RM 017, introduced in 2005, stands out as one of the brand’s most refined and elegant offerings — without sacrificing technical ambition. It’s part of the rare family of rectangular Richard Mille watches, and unlike most Mille creations associated with bold sports aesthetics, the RM 017 is designed with subtlety and sophistication in mind.
Its ultra-slim 8.7mm-thick case is remarkable considering the high complication inside: a hand-wound tourbillon movement with a function selector and power reserve indicator. The skeletonised calibre is secured to a titanium baseplate and bridges, ensuring both rigidity and shock-resistance despite the delicate architecture. The watch also features an ultra-light carbon nanofiber baseplate, a signature Mille innovation developed for maximum strength-to-weight ratio.
Design-wise, the RM 017 is unmistakable. Its long rectangular case, often in titanium or white gold, offers a sleek wrist presence that slips easily under a cuff — making it one of the few Mille references truly suited for formal or daily wear. Yet, its bold industrial skeletonisation and technical dial layout ensure it remains instantly recognisable as a Richard Mille creation.
With extremely limited production numbers and a niche following among connoisseurs, the RM 017 has earned its place as a cult favourite — especially among those who appreciate minimalist complexity. It’s a technical marvel built for those who prefer a more discreet expression of elite horology.
