“Richard Mille has been fortunate as a brand to do what many consider impossible these days – that is, to succeed in the ultra-high-luxury segment with a product that feels new, but also luxurious, as well as exclusive." - via Ariel Adams

Many of Richard Mille timepieces intended for Asian consumers are rich with imagery and symbolism, often in the form of animals engraved in the dial. In true Richard Mille fashion, their recent collaboration with martial arts legend, Jackie Chan, is no different.

While their past collaborations emphasize the strong image of the dragon, this time around the new RM 57-01 Phoenix and Dragon - also includes the image of the phoenix - two mythical beasts with strong symbolic meaning in Chinese culture. Each creature is hand-engraved in solid gold, and appear to be woven into the mechanical movements visible through the dial.

The RM 57-01 Phoenix And Dragon timepiece is limited to just 15 pieces, in either 18k red gold or white gold, at €576,033.
