A Time for Precision

An enduring mainstay in the Richard Mille sports collection, the timepieces of the Rafael Nadal collection reflect the unwavering pursuit of excellence of the 22-time Grand Slam champion. With a keen focus on combining high-precision timekeeping with weightless wear, the all-new RM 27-05 Flying Tourbillon Rafael Nadal marks the climactic pinnacle of Richard Mille’s quest to develop the ultimate sporting watch.

Boasting an impressive technical data sheet, the RM 27-05 Flying Tourbillon Rafael Nadal sets the record with its lightweight construction of 11.5 grams, excluding the strap. A reassuring weight on the wrist of the 14-time French Open champion, the featherlight watch can withstand rigorous rallies and powerful volleys with a remarkable shock resistance of up to 14,000 g-force—a velocity no ordinary person is likely to encounter. A genuine feat of engineering excellence, the new watch is limited to just 80 pieces worldwide, reinforcing its status as a necessary acquisition among serious collectors.
