Although the renowned Richard Mille brand is newly emerged in the luxury watch industry, it leads by a wide margin in this market segment becoming the most exclusive brand in recent years, despite prices starting at 100,000 euros minimum. Any potential customer goes through a tough interview and to have his purchase approved, a signed Richard Mille watch is thus extremely difficult to obtain. If the answer is positive, the customer is given the privilege to pay in advance for the desired model and so begins a long wait, often at least one year. To these above-mentioned elements is added the fact that the annual production is very low (about 3000 pieces/per annum) so that the final selling prices are often over, if not twice, the list price.
The wristwatch is accompanied by the provenance documents and its original box.
