I know that this one has been around for many years now since it replaced the RM5, but as another poster said, ever since it came out I hoped for the day that I might be able to acquire one. As I understand they are being discontinued I felt I had to try and hunt one down. I was reconciled to seeking out a good condition relatively new one but then became seduced by the fact that the boutique here in HK had one last titanium one. With huge thanks to the team in the boutique for their patience over several years, and also a big shout out to Olga in Paris who once told me that if I was meant to have one, one day it would happen....that must have been a good 8 years ago! I owe her and Paris a visit now!

Anyway, a few iPhone photos, some taken using the Loupe System for close ups. apologies for the smudges! 






























About the Richard Mille Automatic Ref. RM010

Richard Mille RM010 Automatic

The RM010 represents Richard Mille's automatic offering within the RM 010 series. This reference was produced from 2005 to 2015, establishing it as a decade-spanning model in the brand's catalog. The RM010 designation indicates its positioning as an automatic variant within Richard Mille's numerical reference system.

The 39mm case is constructed from titanium and features a fixed bezel configuration. Sapphire crystal protects the skeletonized dial, which reveals the mechanical components beneath. The watch houses the RM010 automatic caliber, providing 55 hours of power reserve. Water resistance extends to 50 meters, and the timepiece is completed with a rubber strap.

This reference appeals to collectors seeking Richard Mille's distinctive aesthetic in an automatic format. The titanium construction and skeletonized dial presentation reflect the brand's technical approach to watchmaking. The ten-year production span from 2005 to 2015 makes this a relatively accessible entry point into Richard Mille's automatic collection for contemporary collectors.

The RM010 is a classic ... wear it in good health! Is it true that it is discontinued? Is this official?

The RM10 is just perfection when it comes to the RM look and feel; hope it stays on your wrist for many years! Love the look on the white strap as well, must feel great strapping it on each morning. Thank you for sharing, Colton

Thank you! re discontinuation, that's only from what I have read rather than direct confirmation.

and thank you. I enjoy your posts. I am glad now that I can contribute here too. Re the strap, it is actually the new stone colour so more subtle than the white. It wears well.
