Fifteen watches, two figures carved by hand, and the dragon watches either side of it.

Richard Mille unveiled the RM 57-01 on 1 October 2014 at Watches and Wonders in Hong Kong, made with Jackie Chan in a limited series of 15. The phoenix and the dragon, Chinese emblems of the empress and the emperor, are carved and incised entirely by hand from 3N rose gold with miniature tools made for the purpose, then finished by hand in micro-painting, including the parts no one will see. They sit inside the case around the movement, and the one-minute tourbillon at six o'clock shows through the dragon.

The movement is calibre RM57-01, a manual-winding tourbillon on a PVD-treated titanium baseplate with two barrels, about 48 hours of reserve and a torque-limiting crown that protects it from overwinding. A red line between ten and eleven o'clock shows the reserve. The case, 50.00 × 42.70 mm, was made in 18 ct white or red gold.

It sits between two other Richard Mille dragons. The RM 057 of 2012, also with Jackie Chan, has a gold dragon gripping the tourbillon bridge on a black onyx baseplate, in 36 pieces. The RM 57-03 Sapphire Dragon of 2019 cuts the dragon's body from sapphire, in 55 pieces for Asia, five of them in sapphire cases.

Both are hand-carved gold figures around a manual tourbillon. The RM 57-01 is eight years older and was made in a fifth of the number; say if the RM 47 would also interest you.
