Watches of Celebrities puts Leclerc’s Brazilian GP Richard Mille at $125,000

Charles Leclerc arrived at the Brazilian Grand Prix paddock wearing a Richard Mille that breaks from the brand’s familiar barrel-shaped cases: the round-case RM 33-02, in Carbon TPT and rose gold. Watches of Celebrities, a watch-spotting account, identified the model and put its market price at $125,000.

The RM 33-02 was limited to 140 pieces when it launched, and was reported at the time to cost $145,000. Its round case is made from layers of carbon fibre and includes a platinum rotor. Leclerc is a Richard Mille ambassador and has worn several of the brand’s watches, including the RM 67-02 Charles Leclerc.

Leclerc arrived in São Paulo later than usual after his wife, Alexandra, gave birth to their first child, Bianca, a few days before the race weekend. After qualifying on Saturday, he called the week “Probably one of the best weeks of my life, obviously.” Asked whether it was difficult to concentrate on track, he said that with the visor closed he could reset and focus on one thing.
