Sebastian Korda recently took to social media to express his admiration for the new RM 72-01 Le Mans Classic watch from Richard Mille. This exclusive timepiece was launched to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the iconic car race and is limited to just 150 pieces.

Crafted with a stunning combination of green and white Quartz TPT, the watch boasts a unique design that pays homage to the Le Mans race. The Le Mans' chequered flag is prominently featured on the dial at 11 o'clock, alongside the Le Mans Classic logo. Additionally, the date aperture at 7 o'clock is adorned with the same iconic flag.
