On May 14th at Christie’s Important Watches sale in Geneva, Richard Mille will auction off a one-of-a-kind RM 033 Sentebale, a watch donated by Richard Mille in aid of the Sentebale and Tusk Trust’s charitable work.
The colors of the dial on the RM 033 are inspired from the Sentebale logo which appears on the back sapphire glass. The skeletonized automatic caliber with hours and minutes, integrated off-center monoblock platinum rotor, free sprung balance and power reserve of 42 hours comes in an 18k red gold case with black rubber strap and red gold buckle.
Richard Mille paid homage to Sentebale and Tusk Trust, whose Patrons include Prince Harry and The Duke of Cambridge, by donating this timepiece during last year’s edition of the British Polo Day Charity Cup. The polo event attracted VIP guests and members of several royal families including Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, who is the Co-Patron of Sentebale alongside Prince Harry.
“Through the creation of this unique RM 033 Sentebale timepiece and your participation in the 2011 British Polo Day Charity Cup Richard Mille are directly enabling both charities to continue their valuable work throughout Africa,’’ said Kedge Martin, CEO of Sentebale and Charles Mayhew MBE, CEO of Tusk Trust in a letter to Richard Mille. ‘’Prince William and Prince Harry are proud Patrons of Tusk and Sentebale, as they are causes very close to both of their hearts.”
