The case of the Richard Mille RM 66 Flying Tourbillon follows the same multi-component curved tonneau design that defines the vast majority of the brand’s other models, and it measures 42.7mm-wide by 49.94mm lug-to-lug, with an overall thickness of 16.15mm.

Continuing this theme of bold and slightly irreverent designs carried out at the highest possible levels is the latest release from Richard Mille - the RM 66 Flying Tourbillon, which is a 50-piece limited edition that represents the brand’s tribute to the world of rock and roll music. However, it’s ultimately hard to call a watch a mere “novelty” when it features heavy-hitter complications, state-of-the-art materials, and costs as much as a very nice house in many parts of the U.S. If Richard Mille watches were of lesser quality and priced within the realm of possibility for most people, there would likely be some who would consider them to be horological novelties. Everything the brand produces is executed to incredibly high standards, yet many of its designs have a certain lighthearted nature to them, even when they are ultimately rather serious timepieces. There are few companies that approach high-end watchmaking with the same fun and playful irreverence as Richard Mille.
