Luxurious watchmaker Richard Mille has backed Charles Leclerc since before he even made his debut in Formula 1.
Ever since his early karting days, Richard Mille has been a huge fan of the Monegasque’s determination and speed. Looking at his progress at the junior level of performance, the Swiss company signed him for sponsorship.
And now Leclerc owns a million dollars watch collection and most of them are Richard Mille timepieces. Interestingly, all of these watches have become a part of his collection in the past two years.

All the watches that Charles Leclerc owns
Before 2021, Leclerc was sponsored by Hublot. Therefore, the Monegasque was seen wearing some of the precious timepieces of the watch company. He has an estimated $3.1 Million worth of watch collection.
Leclerc was spotted wearing a Hublot Meca-10 Black Magic which was priced at $24,000. Another one of his Hublot timepieces was the Hublot Big Bang Ferrari 1000 GP watch which was one of the only 20 manufactured and was worth $52,000.
After Ferrari partnered with Richard Mille in 2021, the Monegasque was back to embracing the luxurious wristwear of the Swiss brand.
The Ferrari driver owns a black RM 61-01 Ultimate Edition worth $775,000 and RM 25-01 worth $125,000.
He has also been flaunting his RM 35-03 Automatic Rafael Nadal which costs around $200,000 and of course the brand’s latest thinnest watch ever RM UP-01 Ferrari(30 gms) which is priced at nearly $2 Million.

Leclerc’s $2 Million stolen watch
Last year, the Ferrari driver had one of his most precious watches stolen when he stopped to greet some fans at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
It was a customised RM 67-02 with Leclerc’s signature engraved on it and was worth about $2 Million. Police had later reported that the watch had found its way into Naples, Italy.
It was said that the thieves had attempted to sell the luxurious watch to a stolen luxury goods dealer in the city. There were also reports of the watch getting smuggled to Spain for sale.
