Cheapest Richard Mille Models (Updated 2026)

Last updated: February 2026

The cheapest Richard Mille watches start around $120,000 at retail, with the RM 67-01 Automatic Extra Flat in titanium anchoring the bottom of the current catalog. Six models fall below the $250,000 mark, offering the brand's signature tonneau case, in-house movements, and advanced materials at what passes for accessible pricing in the RM world.

"Affordable" and "Richard Mille" rarely appear in the same sentence. The brand's average secondary market price hovers around $252,000 (WatchCharts), and annual production sits near 5,300 pieces (Forbes, 2023). But not every reference carries a seven-figure price tag. A handful of models, automatic time-only watches and entry-level sport references, bring the core RM experience within reach at a price point where buyers are also cross-shopping Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, or A. Lange & Sohne. This guide ranks the six least expensive Richard Mille models currently available, compares what each delivers, and examines what entry-level RM ownership actually looks like.

The 6 Most Affordable Richard Mille Models

The table below ranks the six least expensive Richard Mille references by starting retail MSRP. Secondary market prices reflect current asking prices as of early 2026 and vary based on condition, year, and included accessories.

Every model on this list uses an in-house caliber: no modified ETA or Sellita movements appear anywhere in the Richard Mille catalog. Even at the entry level, cases feature advanced materials like Grade 5 titanium, Carbon TPT, or ATZ ceramic. The price floor reflects genuine engineering and material costs, not just brand positioning.

Note that "cheapest" is relative. The least expensive Richard Mille still costs more than the most expensive standard-catalog Rolex. For context on where these figures sit within the broader RM lineup, see our complete Richard Mille guide.

RM 67-01: The Accessible Extra-Flat

The RM 67-01 is one of the most accessible models in the lineup. At just 7.75mm thick, it qualifies as the thinnest Richard Mille in the current lineup and one of the thinnest automatic watches from any brand at this construction level. The CRMA6 in-house automatic caliber powers hours, minutes, seconds, and date, simple functionality in a case engineered to RM's usual standards.

Titanium versions start around $120,000 to $165,000 at retail. Carbon TPT variants push into the $150,000 to $180,000 range, and rose gold editions reach $180,000 to $220,000. On the secondary market, titanium examples trade between $165,000 and $230,000, while rose gold versions command $227,000 to $395,000.

The RM 67-01 delivers the full Richard Mille visual identity: tonneau case, skeletonized dial with visible gear trains, and the distinctive crown guard architecture. The trade-off for the lower price is a simpler movement: no chronograph, no tourbillon, no additional complications. It is still a full Richard Mille in every way that matters. Just without the extras.

RM 07-01: Women's Entry Point

The RM 07-01 is Richard Mille's primary women's watch and Richard Mille's primary women's watch. At 45.66 x 29.90mm, it wears smaller than the men's references while maintaining the tonneau silhouette. The CRMA2 automatic caliber handles hours, minutes, and date.

The colored ceramic version, the most accessible variant, starts at approximately $163,000. Carbon TPT bracelet versions climb to around $275,000. The "Intergalactic" editions, which feature gem-set cases and elaborate finishing, range from $188,000 to $283,000. Secondary market prices vary widely by material and configuration, spanning $150,000 to over $400,000.

Celebrity visibility has boosted demand for the RM 07-01. Margot Robbie and Michelle Yeoh are among the brand's "Friends" who wear various 07-01 configurations. That exposure, combined with limited production, keeps secondary market premiums strong on desirable variants. As an entry point, the ceramic RM 07-01 offers a path into the brand at a lower threshold than most men's sport references.

RM 35-02: The Sports Entry

The RM 35-02 carries the Rafael Nadal name and sits at the intersection of accessibility and sports credibility. Unlike the ultra-limited RM 27 series that Nadal wears during Grand Slam matches, the 35-02 is a regular-production reference available through the standard allocation process. It retails between $200,000 and $238,000 in its standard Carbon TPT case.

The RMAL1 automatic caliber features a declutchable rotor, a mechanism that lets the wearer disengage the automatic winding system, converting the watch to manual-wind operation. The Carbon TPT case delivers the lightweight, shock-resistant construction that defines Richard Mille's sports models. Each Carbon TPT case displays a one-of-a-kind wood-grain pattern, a visual signature of the layered composite manufacturing process. (Learn how Carbon TPT is made.)

On the secondary market, the RM 35-02 trades between $200,000 and $350,000. The Nadal connection drives consistent demand, and the Carbon TPT case itself is a draw: the weight, the look, the one-of-a-kind pattern, and the engineering behind why it is used all contribute to the appeal.

What Do You Get at the Entry Level?

Spending $120,000 to $200,000 on a Richard Mille buys a fundamentally different value proposition than spending the same amount on another brand. The table below compares what that budget delivers across four manufacturers.

The comparison makes the trade-off clear. At the $120,000 to $200,000 level, Patek Philippe and A. Lange & Sohne deliver more mechanical complexity: perpetual calendars, chronographs, dual time zones. Audemars Piguet provides iconic sport-watch design in precious metals. Richard Mille, by contrast, offers simpler time-only movements housed in advanced composite cases with shock-resistant architecture.

The entry-level RM argument rests on materials science and exclusivity rather than horological complexity. Carbon TPT, Grade 5 titanium, and ATZ ceramic are engineering-driven materials that cost more to produce than traditional steel or even gold cases. Annual production of approximately 5,300 watches across all references (Forbes, 2023) means that even "entry-level" models are scarce by any standard. For comparison, Rolex produces approximately 1.1 million watches per year, and Patek Philippe makes around 65,000.

Whether that trade-off makes sense depends on what matters to you — movement complexity and traditional finishing, or cutting-edge materials and exclusivity. Either way, most models on this list have held or appreciated on the secondary market, a factor worth weighing for buyers considering long-term value.

One thing that gets lost in the price conversation: these watches are built to be worn. Like how supercars are made to be driven, not parked. The lightweight composites, the G-force resistance, the rubber straps — every design choice points at a watch that goes on your wrist every day. The RM 67-01 and RM 07-01 especially are some of the most wearable luxury watches out there. That daily-wear philosophy is part of what you are buying at any RM price point.
