Mark1958a's acquisition of the Richard Mille RM004 split-seconds chronograph sparks a discussion among collectors about this rare and technically impressive timepiece. The thread delves into the watch's unique characteristics, its wearability, and its esteemed position within the Richard Mille collection. This post offers valuable insights into the ownership experience of a highly complex and sought-after reference.
Richard Mille RM004 Split-Seconds Chronograph
The RM004 represents Richard Mille's split-seconds chronograph offering, distinguished by its manual-winding movement and skeletonized dial construction. Produced from 2003 to 2010, this reference demonstrates the brand's approach to high-complication timepieces within a compact case format.
The 38mm titanium case houses the manual-winding RM004 caliber, providing a 55-hour power reserve. The skeletonized dial reveals the movement architecture beneath a sapphire crystal. Water resistance extends to 50 meters, and the watch is fitted with a rubber strap. The fixed bezel maintains the case's streamlined profile.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking Richard Mille's take on the split-seconds complication in a relatively understated package. The titanium construction and skeletonized dial execution align with contemporary preferences for technical displays and lightweight materials. The seven-year production run establishes the RM004 as a core reference within the brand's chronograph offerings.
The 004 is one of my all time favorite RM’s! Very happy you took the plunge! Thanks for sharing, Alex
