According to Chinese legend, the phoenix (or Feng-Huang) was the Empress’s emblem and known for being the kindest of birds. Its beauty was unsurpassed and its song one of the most beautiful. Having survived several centuries, the phoenix would eventually burn into extinction only to rise again from the ashes. Symbol of grace, feminine beauty and strength, the body of the phoenix represents the five human qualities: its head, virtue; its wings, duty; its back, justice; its chest, goodwill and its belly, reliability.
The Richard Mille Tourbillon RM 051 Phoenix-Michelle Yeoh is sculptured in tonneau shape and available in three variations. This is a limited edition of 18 unique pieces in 18k white gold, 18K red gold and titanium gem-set cases. The watch is propelled by the manual winding tourbillon movement with hours, minutes and power reserve – caliber RM051. It offers about 48 hours of power reserve when fully wound and has a novel differential power reserve system with a printed red line on a moving disc positioned -between 10 and 11 o’clock.
Another unusual detail on this watch is its baseplate, which is made of black Onyx, a natural gemstone that protects the wearer from negative energy, also known to produce emotional stability and boost inspiration. Dimensions: 48 mm x 39.70 mm x 12.80 mm.
