Colombian Singer José Balvin is wearing his piece unique 43mm Richard Mille RM12-01 ‘Sapphire Blue Tourbillion’, inspired by the Jay-Z ‘The Bueprint’ Richard Mille. The milling of sapphire is a very delicate process that doesn’t allow even the slightest error during cutting, since every minor flaw means that the process must start over again.

Reggaeton singer José Balvin of Colombia is wearing his latest timepiece: the piece unique Richard Mille RM12-01 Sapphire Blue Tourbillion. Sapphire does not allow for even the slightest error during milling and cutting, so making this watch took many, many hours of machining.
What do you think the price is? Hint: it’s a bit more thank Jay Z:s ‘Blueprint’.
