Richard Mille Automatic Declutchable Rotor Black Edition

About this reference

The Richard Mille RM 030 Black Titanium (Black DLC Titanium) was introduced around 2011 as part of the RM 030 collection, which remained in production for over a decade before being largely phased out for newer iterations. Collectors prioritize this reference for the Caliber RMAR1, which features a patented declutchable rotor system that automatically disconnects the winding mechanism when the power reserve reaches 50 hours to prevent overwinding and mainspring tension. The 50mm x 42.7mm tonneau case is constructed from Grade 5 titanium with a black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, offering a monochromatic aesthetic. Secondary market prices typically range from $180,000 to $240,000 depending on condition and provenance. A notable production variant is the "Americas" limited edition, which utilizes the same technical architecture but incorporates distinct yellow and orange accents on the dial and crown.
