Richard Mille watches, priced at $500,000 or more per piece, are primarily used by wealthy individuals, elite athletes, and Hollywood stars.

Richard mille watches are a brilliant way to work out who is a prick. Neer trust anyone who wears one.

I'm assuming the two latter categories are sponsored to get the first category to buy?

I just know these brands from F1 where the drivers are sponsored, which is very obvious from the way they wear them.

You will notice at Grand Slam tennis matches the first thing the winner does — even before walking out for the interview — is put on the watch made by their sponsor.

Right, again my point is, if you're charging 500k for a watch, isn't the market for that watch relatively small (people who have the money + people who care about the watch?) Or are they actually selling, say, a thousand of them?

As I'm saying this, I realize selling a thousand of them probably isn't a crazy volume.
