Taking the 007-1 reference into full jewelry-watch territory, this replica richard-mille inlay edition features an explosive gem-set pattern across the case and bezel that covers virtually every flat surface with stones. Unlike the more restrained diamond-crown variants that limit gems to the crown assembly and bezel ring, this version treats the entire tonneau case as a setting surface. The result is a women’s watch that functions equally as a bracelet and a timepiece. Visible movement architecture through the skeletonized dial prevents it from becoming purely ornamental, preserving the mechanical identity that separates the brand from traditional jewelry houses.

Case & Movement Specs

• Case: fully gem-set tonneau
• Setting style: pavé across case flanks and bezel
• Crystal: sapphire with anti-reflective coating
• Dial: skeletonized
• Movement: automatic
• Strap: integrated rubber

The pavé setting covers the case flanks as well as the bezel, which means the watch catches light from side angles that standard diamond-bezel watches miss entirely. Total stone count is substantially higher than any other 007-1 variant.

Caliber Breakdown

Beneath the gem-covered exterior, the same automatic movement sits within the tonneau case. Richard Mille maintains the skeletonized approach even in fully set pieces, which is unusual for jewelry watches that typically hide the movement behind a solid dial. The visible caliber through the caseback adds a second viewing dimension beyond the stones. For a more restrained take on diamonds in the RM format, the 07-01 White Ceramic with rose gold uses selective diamond placement instead of full pavé. Both belong to the RM women’s catalog, but they represent opposite philosophies about how much surface area gems should occupy.

How It Compares

Full pavé tonneau watches exist primarily as jewelry-first, watch-second objects. This version commits fully to that identity. Where the single-diamond-crown 007-1 variants keep one foot in the sport-watch world, the inlay edition steps entirely into haute joaillerie. On the wrist, it creates a continuous band of reflected light that standard watches cannot match. Weight increases over the non-set versions, though the rubber strap compensates by keeping the underside comfortable. This replica richard-mille inlay model represents the maximum expression of the gem-set tonneau concept within the current 007-1 range.
