The Richard Mille RM 026 Tourbillon Serpent is a unique timepiece that seamlessly blends high-end watchmaking with exquisite jewelry artistry. Introduced in 2011, this limited edition of 15 pieces features a manual-winding tourbillon movement with hours, minutes, and a power reserve indicator. The watch's design is inspired by the eternal themes of nature and the passage of time, with two intricately crafted serpents adorning the movement. One serpent is encrusted with rubies and diamonds, while the other is set with emeralds, diamonds, and a red coral tongue, all meticulously hand-engraved. The baseplate is made of pure black onyx, symbolizing protection and stability. The case is crafted from 18K white gold, and the watch is secured with a black alligator leather strap.
