Celebrities Wearing Richard Mille UP-01 Ferrari

The Richard Mille RM UP-01 ‘Ferrari,’ launched in July 2022, currently holds the title of the ‘Thinnest Watch in the World’ with its 1.75mm thickness. This remarkable timepiece surpasses the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra at 1.8mm and the Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept at 2mm in slimness. 

Unveiled in Maranello, Italy, this watch is not only ultra-thin but also impressively lightweight. Its movement weighs a mere 2.82g, and the total weight of the watch, including the strap, is less than 30g. The distinctiveness of the RM UP-01 lies in its casing design. Unlike its rivals, Piaget and Bulgari, which integrate the case as the baseplate, Richard Mille has ingeniously constructed the entire movement within a closed case.The RM UP-01 is an exclusive, limited edition with only 150 pieces available, each priced at $1,750,000.

This watch has garnered attention from various celebrities and notable figures. Pharrell Williams, Jackie Chan, and Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, the son of the ruler of the emirate of Ajman, have all been spotted wearing it.
