Richard Mille RM 53-01 Tourbillon 'Pablo Mac Donough' Carbon Limited Edition of 30

The Richard Mille RM 53-01 Tourbillon 'Pablo Mac Donough' is a cutting-edge timepiece built for one of the most physically demanding sports in the world: polo. Limited to just 30 pieces, this reference was engineered in direct collaboration with the legendary Argentine polo champion to withstand the violent shocks of a mallet strike without sacrificing the tourbillon’s mechanical finesse. The 50mm tonneau-shaped case is crafted entirely from layered Carbon TPT, giving it a unique striped texture and exceptional resistance to impact, torsion, and thermal fluctuation.

At the heart of the watch is a manually wound tourbillon movement suspended by a system of braided steel cables, creating a floating architecture that isolates the caliber from shocks—an unprecedented feat in horology. The movement’s bridges are made from grade 5 titanium and treated with black PVD, while the crystal features a laminated structure capable of withstanding over 5,000 Gs. The flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock is both a visual centerpiece and a symbol of RM’s technical mastery under extreme conditions.

Paired with a signature light blue rubber strap, the RM 53-01 maintains a sporty yet futuristic aesthetic that complements its groundbreaking construction. Lightweight, incredibly resilient, and visually arresting, it embodies Richard Mille’s relentless push to redefine what’s possible in sports watchmaking. With its extreme durability, innovative suspended movement, and highly limited production, this model is one of the most sought-after and technically advanced Richard Mille references ever produced.
