Richard Mille
RM 35-01 Rafael Nadal
Richard Mille's manual-wind Nadal — the tonneau-case sports watch developed for the tennis champion to wear on court. Carbon TPT, 32g on the wrist.
On this piece
Richard Mille launched its first collaboration with Rafael Nadal in 2010 with the RM 027 — the first watch ever worn by a top-tier athlete during professional competition. The RM 35-01 is the more accessible manual-wind expression of that programme, with a Carbon TPT case construction that brings the watch's total weight to approximately 32 grams including the strap — lighter than a Rolex Datejust's bracelet alone. The skeletonised RMUL3 movement is engineered with a baseplate machined directly into the case-back, allowing the entire mechanism to flex independently of the case under impact — RM's defining innovation in shock resistance.
