The Richard Mille RM 74-02 In-House Automatic Tourbillon may not look like your typical gold watch, but it actually contains plenty of the precious metal. Firstly, its case — which measures 52.63mm by 34.4mm — features a bezel and caseback made from a combination of Carbon TPT and gold leaf. Its caseband is made of red gold, and even its skeletonised baseplate and bridges are made of yellow or red gold.
