It’s no easy task to create an object of beauty that is timeless yet also future forward. Which is why the RM 07-01 Automatic Ladies watch by Richard Mille remains a much loved icon for watch enthusiasts. Its immediately recognisable silhouette—that elegantly slender tonneau case—makes it a modern classic able to traverse changing trends. While its intricate openwork complication lends the watch a futuristic flair, powered by groundbreaking innovation and precise watchmaking expertise.
A core collection in the brand’s line-up of ladies’ watches, the RM 07-01 Automatic Ladies collection is not just about looking pretty. Its very design is emblematic of the Richard Mille ethos of exercising a “R&D-first” approach to its creations. Thus, the RM 07-01 Ladies Automatic is a manifestation of Richard Mille’s commitment to perfection and high level accuracy.
The Unique CRMA2 Calibre
Take for instance its movement. Finalised in 2014, a great deal of investment went into the development of the CRMA2 calibre that powers this glamorous collection. The CRMA2 was created specifically for the RM 07-01, its creation rooted in the many facets of the brand’s expertise. The finely microblasted, electroplasma-treated finish of the baseplate and bridges in grade 5 titanium accentuate the case’s angles, resulting in contemporary elegance. The finesse extends to the satin-finished components, allowing the calibre’s minute details to glitter in brilliance.
Assembling the CRMA2 calibre.
The CRMA2 calibre complements the iconic barrel-shaped case. It presents an experimentation canvas for new precious or technical materials. Be it the opulence of red gold and white gold, the modernity of Carbon TPT® and Gold Carbon TPT®. Or the allure of ATZ white and TZP black ceramic. Carbon TPT® is a proprietary material of Richard Mille, an innovation originally developed for use as the sails of racing yachts, the chassis of F1 cars as well as in aeronautics, due to its exceptional physical properties and truly unique appearance.
A Beauty in Gold Or Ceramic
Then there’s the use of precise, expert techniques from artisans that open up the watch to an even greater range of possibilities. Gold dials become the playground for diamonds, black sapphires, jasper, onyx, mother of pearl or Carbon TPT®. Select white and red gold pieces glimmer with meticulous snow setting, while ceramic models twinkle with set diamonds. Each diamond is held steadily by skilfully placed red gold prongs. Moreover, each prong is individually manufactured and polished. Further proof of Richard Mille’s uncompromising attention to detail and topnotch craftsmanship.

Additionally, the bracelet, more than a mere accessory, bridges the intimate bond between case and skin. The open link bracelet (each link is bead blasted, satin finished and polished) flows in harmony with the fluid lines of the RM 07-01. Developed by experts, the bracelet offers unrivalled wrist comfort while expressing individualistic style. Exclusively for this collection, three breathtaking combinations are made available. Namely a snow-set for both white and red gold, then red gold with Carbon TPT®. Also here, ergonomics meet safety in a double deployment buckle.
The RM 07-01 Automatic Ladies watch embraces the past while paving the way for the future. Each variation is instilled with historical artistic and technical expertise, ensuring that future models will inherit a legacy of diverse creativity and fresh perspectives. With the RM 07-01, women can now experience the same level of technicity practised in the Richard Mille men’s collection. Now fashioned into a modern watch that exudes glamour, innovation, and an exceptionally high level accuracy and performance. Beauty and substance expressed in equal measure.
