The pricetag is a hefty sum of $2.2 million. And a short while after the official announcement, all 10 limited edition watches were sold out while they were still in the production stage.
The RM 56-02 watch incorporates a cable-suspension system within an extraordinary, beautiful, most breath-taking transparent sapphire case.
Producing one sapphire case for the watch takes approximately 40 days of nonstop machining. Then it takes an additional 400 hours of machining and finishing for the different movement bridges, all to give the watch its futuristic, out of the earth look.
The baseplate for Sapphire RM 56-02 is made using grade 5 titanium, suspended within the watchcase by a single braided cable (0.35 millimeters thickness) and woven within a system of four pulleys at the movement's corners and another six pulleys placed along the movement's periphery.
Original inspiration comes from RM 27-01, Rafael Nadal's watch. Think about high-tech wizardry and physics-defying properties. Mille watches have become the hottest trend for the ultra net worth's handshakes.
