When we say the RM 07-02 Automatic Sapphire is a showstopper, we mean it. Each of the four watches in this collection is built from a single block of colored sapphire. The colors include pink, green, gem-set green, and lilac, all bold and crafted with precision, requiring hundreds of hours to create. This newly released collection showcases Richard Mille's dedication to innovation and design.
What Makes the RM 07-02 Automatic Sapphire Unique?
The RM 07-02 Automatic Sapphire takes sapphire cases to bold new heights. Richard Mille moves beyond clear sapphire, offering vibrant colors like pink, green, lilac, and a gem-set green adorned with diamonds. These hues are more than eye-catching, they redefine luxury.
Each sapphire case, crafted with over 1,000 hours of meticulous shaping and polishing, achieves flawless transparency and vibrant color, showcasing the effort behind every piece. Beyond looks, the cases are scratch-resistant, sealed, and fitted to protect the movement, combining durability with beauty.
Inside, the CRMA5 automatic caliber ensures reliability and style. Its variable-geometry rotor adapts to your activity level, making it a versatile companion. Add to this a dazzling dial featuring diamonds, sapphires, and ornamental stones like spessartite and opal, and you’ve got a watch that’s truly wearable art.

Wearing the RM 07-02 Automatic Sapphire
Let’s take a closer look at the colors in the RM 07-02 Automatic Sapphire collection because, honestly, they deserve a moment in the spotlight. The pink sapphire is playful yet elegant—a bold choice that doesn’t shy away from being noticed. It’s the kind of watch you’d pair with a summer dress, a glass of rosé, or even just a really good mood. It’s pure joy on the wrist.
Then there’s the green sapphire, which feels fresh and modern. It has a slightly edgier vibe compared to the pink, making it perfect for someone who likes their watches with a bit of attitude. The gem-set green version takes that attitude and dresses it up for a gala. With diamonds adorning the case, it’s equal parts bling and brilliance.
Finally, the lilac sapphire is perhaps the most intriguing of the bunch. It’s soft, understated, and effortlessly chic. There’s a quiet confidence to this color that we can’t help but admire. It feels like the kind of watch you’d wear when you know you don’t need to prove anything to anyone.
The dial of the RM 07-02 Automatic Sapphire deserves a special shoutout. It’s one of those details that makes you pause and appreciate the artistry behind the watch. Each dial is adorned with diamonds and ornamental stones like spessartite and malachite, arranged in a way that feels both deliberate and organic.
The gem-setting on the case, particularly on the gem-set green variant, takes this watch to another level. The diamonds are placed with such precision that they almost feel like they’re floating. It’s a detail that’s easy to miss in photos but impossible to ignore in person.
Beneath all the sparkle and color lies the CRMA5 movement, and let’s just say it’s as impressive as the exterior. The skeletonized automatic movement is lightweight yet powerful, with a variable-geometry rotor that adjusts winding efficiency based on your activity level. Whether you’re sitting in a meeting or jet-setting across continents, this watch adapts to you (yes, even if you’re just reaching for your coffee).
The movement’s design is another example of form meeting function. Its skeletonized structure is visible through the sapphire case, giving you a front-row seat to the dance of gears and rotors. If you’re into the technical side of watches, this is pure eye candy.The movement’s design is another example of form meeting function.
