Uncover Rare and Hard-to-Find Richard Mille Watches at Avi & Co.

A truly unique watch does not come along every day. As every horological enthusiast and veteran watch collector knows, rare timepieces are those elusive boons that we are constantly chasing down. When we do get our hands on a hard-to-find luxury timepiece, we often have numerous collectors scrambling to add it to their watch boxes.

Richard Mille watches are especially impressive in terms of rarity and limited edition runs. The Swiss watchmaker has created many elite watches in limited supply, making them particularly desirable on the secondary market. As Manhattan’s premier source for secondary market Richard Mille timepieces, we at Avi & Co. are uniquely positioned to acquire these pieces.

Throughout our time in New York City’s prestigious Diamond District, we have gotten the chance to handle and sell some of Richard Mille’s most sought-after models. We are proud to showcase just a few of the elite timepieces we have had in stock in our showrooms. Each of these exquisite creations highlights the impeccable craftsmanship and creativity behind Richard Mille. If you are seeking a hard-to-find Richard Mille reference, make Avi & Co. your go-to destination.

Our team has curated a dozen of our favorite rare Richard Mille watches to come through our doors. From the elusive “LeBron James” partnership to the highly collectible “Bubba Watson” pink tourbillon, find your holy grail Richard Mille in one of our three showrooms.

The Richard Mille RM 67-01 collection offers a unique window into the ethos behind this incredible contemporary manufacturer. Here, the creators prioritized an “ultra-thin” automatic movement without sacrificing the visual depth and complexity that have become synonymous with Richard Mille. Form and function go hand in hand as luxurious diamonds adorn the tonneau-shaped bezel and a skeletonized dial showcases the inner workings of the watch. At 47 mm, the RM 67-01 commands a sizable presence on the wrist. This watch is not for the faint of heart: It demands a wearer who is unafraid to be the center of attention.

The RM 27-05 is a record-holder on many levels. The product of an ongoing partnership between Richard Mille and tennis great Rafael Nadal, this invigorating timepiece weighs just 11.5 grams and can withstand a G-force of 14,000. Both of these statistics are unheard of for manual-winding tourbillon watches. The innovative shock absorption system encased within the watch is both technologically unique and visually fascinating, as the skeletonized dial draws you into its depths. This piece is limited to just 80 pieces produced worldwide, making it highly valuable among collectors and horological enthusiasts alike.

Basketball legend LeBron James is a household name, but that does not mean his Richard Mille collaboration timepiece is easy to come by. Quite the opposite, in fact: The LeBron James X Richard Mille RM 65-01 watch is limited to just 150 pieces. The split-seconds chronograph timepiece combines Richard Mille’s futuristic appeal with the style and flair of basketball’s “The King.” Though LeBron James has since departed from his longtime NBA home with the Los Angeles Lakers, his Richard Mille collaboration memorializes that phase of his career with purple and gold accents. This unique and captivating watch is the perfect acquisition for someone who loves basketball and haute horlogerie in equal measure.

The unique finishing on this oversize RM 037 watch is just one piece of its aesthetic appeal. The 52 mm timepiece showcases Richard Mille’s expertise and attention to detail in every area of watchmaking. From the black carbon TPT case to the rose gold inner bezel and skeletonized dial, we see a truly unique symphony of contemporary architecture and masterful engineering. Dubbed the Sandblast edition, this attractive watch offers a “tiger’s eye” effect that lends itself to dressier occasions, departing from the classic sporty appeal of many Richard Mille pieces.

This striking Richard Mille creation is a truly one-of-a-kind timepiece, and we mean that literally: Only one of the “Tourbillon Mask Green Emerald” watch was ever produced. Richard Mille originally released the RM 52-06 Tourbillon Mask line in four different variants, each strictly limited to 18 pieces. Yet this “green emerald” model was not in the initial lineup, and it was produced as a passion project for just one lucky buyer. It came to global attention when we sold it to well-known watch collector and Colombian singer J Balvin, who has been photographed wearing it on a few different occasions. Handling a truly special watch like this one is a privilege that we take seriously, and we consider ourselves lucky to have seen this piece firsthand.

Like the green emerald watch above, this unusual RM 56-01 Brown Sapphire Tourbillon now resides in the storied watch collection of J Balvin. It is an ultra-exclusive timepiece limited to just five pieces produced worldwide. Experts estimate that each of these pieces takes over 1,000 hours to produce, and its secondary market value is considered well in the seven-figure range. The tonneau-shaped case exudes Richard Mille’s signature aesthetics through and through, while the brown sapphire crystal surrounding the piece gives it an unusual vintage look that bridges time and seasonality. This is a watch that will transform your entire collection.

A masterpiece of modern technology, the RM 21-02 Tourbillon Aerodyne blends cutting-edge technology with avant-garde design. Architectural and precise in nature, this unique 43 mm watch is an ultra-exclusive model introduced in late 2023. Its honeycomb baseplate was inspired by aeronautics and supersonic design, and it was limited to just 50 pieces produced worldwide. With a case made from a combination of Quartz TPT and Carbon TPT, it is exceptionally light and durable, redefining the limits of modern watchmaking. Its retail price was originally in the high six figure range, but on the collector’s market, it is worth much more.

Cyril Kongo is a renowned graffiti artist and painter with French-Vietnamese heritage. His stunning collaboration with Richard Mille offers a groundbreaking fusion of exquisite haute horlogerie and contemporary street art. The aesthetics of this gorgeous RM 68-01 are truly one-of-a-kind, departing from the more sleek and subdued look of many Richard Mille designs. With a handpainted dial and eye-catching asymmetrical case, this watch is limited to just 30 pieces worldwide and commands secondary market prices well over $2 million these days.

This vibrant Richard Mille RM 07-01 hails from the brand’s Coloured Ceramics collection. Though the pieces are available in a few different colorways, each variation is limited to just 50 pieces produced worldwide. With its bold aesthetics, the RM 07-01 Coloured Ceramics collection has attracted the attention of some impressive celebrities, including NBA star Jayson Tatum who famously defended the look of the watch in a live interview. For those who are seeking to integrate some whimsy and playful hues into their watch collection without compromising on mechanical prowess and prestige, look no further than this rare timepiece.

The Richard Mille RM 52-01 Skull Tourbillon is an ultra-exclusive timepiece limited to just 30 pieces produced worldwide. Housed in a 50 mm black ceramic case, the watch features a skeletonized dial with a red-gold skull icon at its center. The manual-winding tourbillon caliber completes this picture of luxury, which is sure to infuse a dose of personality into any watch collection. Richard Mille’s skull watches are some of its most desirable and expensive pieces on the secondary market, making them highly sought-after for serious collectors.

The blue sapphire tourbillon RM 12-01 is a highly exclusive collector’s piece limited to just one model produced worldwide. A unique luxury watch like this never remains in our showroom for long, and this Richard Mille creation was no exception. The blue sapphire aesthetic is reminiscent of one of rapper and music producer Jay-Z’s favorite Richard Mille watches, making it especially desirable for those looking to emulate celebrity style. With a 50 mm case, this bold blue watch makes a statement on any wrist.

The most recent rare Richard Mille watch to pass through our Manhattan showroom was the RM 38-02 Pink Tourbillon, a collaboration with iconic American golfer Bubba Watson. Highlighting Watson’s signature color, the pink tourbillon watch was limited to 50 pieces produced worldwide. It is an exceptionally rare and valuable example of Richard Mille’s exceptional craftsmanship, engineering, and design. Its association with the renowned golfer only raises its cultural cachet, giving it truly elite status even among this already impressive roundup of the most exceptional Richard Mille watches we have had the pleasure of handling.
