The “Big One For ONE DROP” tournament organized by the World Series of Poker took place in Las Vegas from June 29th to July 1st at Caesars Palace. This tournament is the world’s most important and prestigious, and its one-million-dollar entry fee is the highest in the history of poker.
Partner of the first edition in 2012, Richard Mille awarded the trophy to the winner of the World Series of Poker. The well-known Iranian player, Antonio Esfandiari, won on that occasion a Richard Mille platinium bracelet and the largest cash prize in the history of poker at $18,346,673$. This tournament is therefore one of the most spectacular charitable initiatives. The profits from the tournament will go to the “One Drop” Foundation established by Guy Laliberté, creator of Cirque du Soleil ® , which works to provide universal access to water.
The bracelet which will be given to the winner this year is inspired by the RM 033. It has been designed by Mélanie Treton-Monceyron, the brand’s Artistic Director.
Its case diameter is 45.7 mm while its thickness is only 6.30 mm. It is entirely made in white gold and fitted with grade 5 titanium lugs. A 0.77 Carat diamond has been cut to represent a drop of water and is supported between the anti-glare sapphire glass. It sits on the logo of ‘Big One For One Drop’ Foundation which is, naturally, a drop of water. The bracelet in platinium and titanium has been entirely wire-cut and its components, which have all been assembled, cambered and enamelled, have been polished by hand.
