BOUTIQUES IN NYC, MIAMI & BEVERLY HILLS


100% CERTIFIED AUTHENTIC


WRIST AFICIONADO WARRANTY


The Richard Mille RM 12-01 Tourbillon Red Quartz TPT is a bold limited edition that pushes the boundaries of architecture and material science. Crafted in layered red Quartz TPT with Carbon TPT accents, the 39.3mm x 48mm case is both visually striking and structurally resilient. Its skeletonized design draws from the bridge architecture of the original RM 012, revealing grade 5 titanium bridges shaped like tension cables—a design engineered to maximize shock resistance while showcasing the movement's complexity.

Released in a series of just 18 pieces, this Americas-exclusive variant stands out with its vivid color, racing-inspired skeleton, and technical prowess. Capable of withstanding over 5,000 Gs of acceleration, the RM 12-01 was built for extreme performance but executed with collector-level refinement. Its rarity, aggressive styling, and architectural innovation make it one of the most coveted tourbillon references in the Richard Mille portfolio, especially among those drawn to form-driven, avant-garde complications.

*This is a limited edition of 18 pieces.

The Richard Mille RM 12‑01 Tourbillon in red Quartz TPT is a bold exercise in structural aesthetics and technical performance. The case’s sharp geometry and bezel-integrated pushers showcase RM’s industrial design DNA, while DLC-treated grade 5 titanium screws secure the construction.

Visible through both sides of the case is the manual-winding RM 12‑01 caliber, built around a fixed barrel, flying tourbillon, and centrally positioned power-reserve indicator. The movement architecture is aggressively skeletonized—each bridge and plate is hand-finished with polished bevels and laser-engraved textures. The fixed barrel system ensures consistent torque delivery to the tourbillon, contributing to stable timekeeping. With a running power reserve of approximately 50 hours, the movement balances endurance and mechanical purity.

The bold red dial and skeletonized details come together with white accents on the crown and hands, enhancing both legibility and visual contrast. A bright red rubber strap echoes the Quartz TPT color, securing the watch with a titanium clasp. The RM 12‑01 stands as a rare fusion of high-polish finishing, avant-garde materials, and pure tourbillon craftsmanship—an unapologetically modern and collector-focused execution that pushes the boundaries of traditional watchmaking.
