Charles Leclerc celebrated his recent victory at the British Grand Prix held at Silverstone by wearing a rare and luxurious timepiece. The Ferrari driver sported the Richard Mille RM 72-01 "Charles Leclerc Monaco," a limited edition watch launched in 2025 with only 150 units produced. The watch features a 38mm Quartz TPT case, a rubber strap, a Flyback chronograph mechanism, date display, and water resistance up to 50 meters. It is designed in red and white, reflecting the colors of the Monaco principality, Leclerc's home.

Leclerc’s association with Richard Mille dates back to his karting days, long before he became a leading Formula 1 driver. He often wears prototype models from the Swiss brand, which tests new materials and technologies under racing conditions. The watch gained special significance following Leclerc’s ninth career win, his first at Silverstone and since the 2024 season. Starting from second place, he took the lead early and maintained it until the race ended under a safety car due to Max Verstappen’s accident.

This victory marked a comeback for Leclerc after a challenging period that included two consecutive retirements in Monaco and Barcelona and only an eighth-place finish in Austria. Despite doubts about Ferrari’s car suitability for the British track, Leclerc delivered a competitive pace and returned the team to the top of the podium. For Richard Mille, the watch’s appearance on Leclerc’s wrist after the win provided significant exposure for this already highly coveted limited edition model. For Leclerc, it symbolized a perfect blend of his return to winning form and a watch created in his honor.
