This is the Richard Mille RM 52-01 Skull luxury watch that has generated controversy in Russia

It is valued at $600,000 and only 30 copies have been made.

Watches are a common gift at weddings and engagements, but never before has a bridal gift sparked such controversy as this luxury watch worn by Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov on his wedding day. Opponents have seen signs of “illicit enrichment” by the official, since, they say, “the watch is worth more than his apartment.”

The Richard Mille RM 52-01 Skull is part of a limited edition of 21 pieces, 15 of them in titanium and another 6 in pink gold. It is a groundbreaking design proposal, as it has a skull-shaped sphere, which refers to the “promise of eternity”. It has a transparent sapphire crystal caseback, through which the reverse of the skull itself can be seen. Given the technical characteristics of the watch, it may well last you forever, since from a technical point of view, it is a magnificent watch. The materials used by the luxury watch brand are always found in the most innovative sectors: from the field of F1 car development to the aerospace industry.

The result is authentic works of art, exclusive, precise and expensive watches that are not available to everyone. Not even from spokespersons for the Russian government, according to critical voices. But the spokesman has defended himself by saying that it was a gift from his new wife, the Olympic figure skating champion Tatiana Navka.

Richard Mille is a Swiss watch brand founded in 1999 by businessman Richar Mille. All its watches are luxury products and numerous celebrities from different fields have lent their image to the watchmaker: athletes like Rada Nadal or Felipe Massa, and also actress Natalie Portman.
