Simply Abu Dhabi Magazine XIX

1 1 7 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I These examples of fine watchmaking court superlatives; they also mirror the exceptional achievements of Felipe himself, who, during his 13-year career, competed in 218 races, achieving pole position in 16, reaching the podium 40 times including 11 as race winner, and amassing a total total 1012 points (including his last podium at the Austrian GP in 2015). His career was led mainly at Ferrari and it is the second longest of the Scuderia. Felipe is also the 4th most successful driver ever of the Scuderia. The RM 056 and RM 011 pieces from the ‘10th Anniversary’ collection are inspired by the driver’s racing colours. The flanges, transfers, push-pieces, and crowns are bedecked in blue and yellow, whilst Felipe’s logo is subtly placed at 1 o’clock. On the RM 011, the number 19, Felipe’s race number, has been cleverly reworked to suggest a 12 on the sapphire dial. The final flourish on these exceptional models is Felipe’s signature engraved on the reverse. Exclusivity defines this ‘10th Anniversary’ collection. Just ten of the RM 056 will be produced, whilst the RM 011 will be issued in a limited edition of 100 pieces. Both premier timepieces present the wearer’s dedication not only to elite motor racing, specifically Formula 1, but also to the revered and high-tech RichardMille brand. Either offering, especially the RM056, would make a distinguished and enviable addition to a venerated collection, as they are just as stunning as they are peerless in their exemplification of the attention to detail and unceasing performance that marks both Felipe Massa and Richard Mille.
