Richard Mille RM 69 Tourbillon Erotic Titanium Limited Edition of 30 (2016)

Represents Richard Mille's avant-garde reinterpretation of erotic timepiece tradition dating back centuries to 18th-19th century pocket watches featuring suggestive mechanized scenes often banned and confiscated by conservative moral, religious, political authorities yet enjoyed secretly away from prying eyes. Launched 2015 developed collaboration with Audemars Piguet Renaud & Papi, RM 69 modernizes historical theme through less graphic, subtler approach displaying random suggestive messages via three engraved grade 5 titanium rollers functioning like Tibetan prayer wheels or slot machine reels generating combinations including phrases "I long to," "let me," "I need to," paired with "arouse," "explore," complemented by "your lips," "your nipples," "you tonight." Limited strictly to 30 pieces worldwide sold exclusively through Richard Mille boutiques representing brand's ability selling such unconventional watches through centimillionaire clientele. Unusual movement construction featuring barrel positioned directly beneath tourbillon sharing same central axis creates compact architecture allowing space for Oracle complication while maintaining 69-hour power reserve through single barrel.

The 50mm x 42.70mm x 16.15mm tripartite tonneau-shaped case crafted entirely in grade 5 titanium (90% titanium, 6% aluminum, 4% vanadium alloy used in aerospace, aeronautics, automobile industries) features ergonomic curved design, assembled with 20 spline screws in titanium, sapphire crystal front and back, 50m water resistance. Openworked skeletonized dial reveals three engraved grade 5 titanium rollers displaying random message combinations, tourbillon at 6 o'clock, power reserve indicator aperture at 4 o'clock powered by planetary differential, retractable hour and minute hands.
