This reference features the manual-wind caliber RM018, a tourbillon movement distinguished by its use of semi-precious and precious stones, such as tiger’s eye, jasper, and onyx, for the movement wheels. The 18k white gold case measures 48mm by 39.3mm and houses a transparent synthetic sapphire baseplate. Collectors value this reference for its technical integration of high jewelry materials into a mechanical movement and its rarity within the brand’s early production history. On the secondary market, the RM018 typically commands prices in the mid-to-high six-figure range, often exceeding $500,000 depending on the specific stone configuration. A notable auction result occurred in 2022 when a white gold example sold for approximately $750,000."}, "listing_stats": {"count": 0, "median": 0, "low": 0, "high": 0}, "listings": [], "auction_lots": [{"slug": "richard-mille-rm018-wg-2024", "brand": "Richard Mille", "reference": "RM018 WG", "model": "Hommage A Boucheron", "case_material": "18k White Gold", "hammer_usd": 1197000, "year_sold": 2024, "venue": "Christie's New York", "lot_summary": "A unique skeletonized tourbillon with white Agate wheels, created to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Boucheron.", "source_url": "https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-6516394", "provenance": "ai_generated_grounded", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/auctions/richard-mille-rm018-wg-2024"}]}
