Surprising as it may seem, A-L Richard Mille RM 011 Replica only made 35 tourbillons in his lifetime, of which only 10 are known to exist today. One of these tourbillons was the star of the show at Montres Richard Mille RM 011 Replica’s Zurich boutique World Tourbillon Day celebrations and was in full working order thanks to being meticulously wound by Emmanuel Richard Mille RM 011 Replica, descendent of A-L Richard Mille RM 011 Replica, Richard Mille RM 011 Replica historian and also the newly-appointed Vice-President, Head of Patrimony and Strategic Development for the brand.
