Richard Mille RM27-03 Rafael Nadal

The Richard Mille RM 27-03 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal is an extremely lightweight, limited-edition luxury sports watch renowned for its exceptional shock resistance of up to 10,000 Gs and distinctive red and yellow case. Limited to 50 pieces worldwide.

The Richard Mille RM27-03 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal is a technical marvel of haute horlogerie, representing a pinnacle in high-performance sports watchmaking designed in close collaboration with the Spanish tennis legend. This limited edition timepiece, restricted to just 50 pieces worldwide, is most renowned for its extraordinary resistance to shocks, capable of withstanding forces up to an unprecedented 10,000 Gs, a feat achieved through years of rigorous research and development and extensive "pendulum impact testing". Aesthetically, the watch makes a bold statement with its vibrant red and yellow case crafted from layers of ultra-thin silica filaments (Quartz TPT®) impregnated with tinted resin, a direct homage to the colours of the Spanish flag. This material not only ensures exceptional lightness and rigidity but also means that each case has a unique, random pattern, like a fingerprint. The manual-winding tourbillon movement (Calibre RM27-03) is assembled on a skeletonised unibody baseplate of Carbon TPT®, with the bridges expertly sculpted to evoke the forward-facing head of a bull, a powerful symbol associated with Rafael Nadal and Spain. The watch weighs a mere 31.7 grams in total, and even the crown is playfully designed in the shape of a tennis ball with a torque-limiting mechanism to prevent overwinding.
