This reference is significant for its carbon nanotube-injected polymer case and a movement suspended by four braided steel cables, each measuring 0.35mm in diameter. This architecture allows the manual-wind caliber to withstand accelerations exceeding 5,000 Gs while maintaining a total weight of 18.83 grams including the strap. Collectors prioritize this model for its technical advancement in shock resistance and its status as the lightest mechanical tourbillon at the time of its release. On the secondary market, the RM 27-01 typically commands prices between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000 depending on provenance. A notable public sale occurred at a 2023 Christie’s auction, where a specimen achieved a hammer price of approximately $1.1 million, though private valuations often trend higher due to extreme scarcity."}, "listing_stats": {"count": 5, "median": 220000.0, "low": 149510.0, "high": 1050000.0, "brands": 1, "merchants": 1}, "listings": [{"id": "h_8029481533762", "title": "Richard Mille 27-04
