Richard Mille Automatic Flyback Chronograph

About this reference

The Richard Mille RM11-03 Automatic Flyback Chronograph in Carbon TPT and Orange Quartz was introduced in 2017 as an evolution of the original RM011 series. While the RM11-03 line has largely been succeeded by the RM 65-01 and RM 72-01, it remains a primary target for collectors due to the RMAC3 skeletonized automatic movement and the technical case construction. This specific reference utilizes thin layers of carbon and silica-infused quartz filaments saturated in orange resin, resulting in a high-strength, lightweight striped aesthetic unique to each piece. The dial features a variable-geometry rotor, oversized date, and month display. On the secondary market, this reference typically commands prices in the mid-to-high six-figure range, often fluctuating between $450,000 and $600,000 depending on provenance. A notable production detail is the material's development in partnership with North Thin Ply Technology, which originally engineered the composite for competitive sailing.
