As outstanding as the Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Chronograph, perhaps nothing is more popular than the RM11-Richard Mille Permanent Annual Calendar Chronograph and best-selling models. What stands out is what RM11 is best at. It typically has exotic case materials, bold colors, clear dials, and an overall modern design language.
