Richard Mille unveils limited edition RM 27-02 Rafael Nadal watch for $750k


Richard Mille has unveiled the new RM 27-02 tourbillon, specially made for Rafael Nadal who was in a pursuit to capture his 10th title at Roland Garros. Nadal might have crashed out the tournament, his second loss ever at the French Open, but the king of clay, as he’s often known as, promised to return to the courts of French Open to grab his tenth title. Coming back to the special edition watch, the RM 27-02, a manual winding tourbillon, features a case in NTPT carbon, a material resistant to the micro-cracks that can occur during acceleration and impact. It is certified to withstand a full 5,000 Gs and is built for extreme water resistance. The case is harder, lighter, and more resistant than its predecessor, thanks to two new carbon fiber materials.
