Black ceramic and gold · sculpted samurai armour · manual tourbillon
A kabuto helmet, two swords and a suit of armour, cut in gold and built around a tourbillon.
The RM 47 renders a full set of samurai armour across the movement: the kabuto helmet with its crest, the men-yoroi face guard, the shoulder plates, and two crossed katana laid across the baseplate. The pieces are cut, engraved and finished by hand in gold, and the kamon — the family crest — sits at the foot of the movement over the tourbillon cage.
The case is black TZP ceramic with gold elements, which is a deliberately quiet housing for something this ornamental. Under it is a manual-winding tourbillon; the sculpture is structural in the sense that it has to be assembled around a movement that keeps running, not laid over a dial.
It was made in a small series. Like every Richard Mille art piece, it is found rather than ordered, and provenance and condition carry more weight than they would on a catalogue watch.

Both are hand-sculpted gold figures built around a running manual tourbillon. The RM 47 is one design in one case; the RM 57-01 is a small family, so name the version early.

Whether the RM 47 specifically is the requirement or whether the other sculpted Richard Mille tourbillons would do. Say if a full set matters.
Confirmed for each request from our network. Richard Mille art pieces are made in tiny series and rarely come to market on demand; we say what is realistic rather than promise a date.
Richard Mille box, warranty card, booklets, spare straps and any service records are itemised for the individual watch we propose.
Condition of the ceramic case, the crystal and the gold sculpture under magnification, provenance, service history and verification arrangements are set out before you decide.
Send the reference by WhatsApp or the form, with the dial, set and timing that matter to you. A collection or a style is enough to begin.
We go to our network rather than a boutique list, and come back with what is realistic on availability and timing before you commit to anything.
Condition, documents and what accompanies the watch are set out in writing for the individual piece we propose. You decide with the details in front of you.
Bank transfer in any major currency, or crypto. Collection in London or fully insured delivery, agreed for the watch and the destination.
Any brand, any reference, whether or not it appears on this site. Tell us what you have in mind and we take it from there.
Ceramic resists scratching but chips rather than marks if it is knocked. We set out the condition of the case, the bezel edges and the crystal for the individual watch, and tell you where any damage sits.
No. The movement is skeletonised and the sculpted elements are assembled around it, which is why the construction is the difficult part rather than the engraving.
A small limited run. We confirm the series size and the provenance for the specific watch we propose rather than quote a figure from memory.
Yes. Bank transfer in any major currency, or crypto; Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum, USDT and other major coins and stablecoins are accepted. The coin, network and amount are confirmed with you before any transfer.
An exact reference or an idea is enough to start the conversation. We will take care of the search and discuss the options with you.
