RM 27-02 Tourbillon – Rafael Nadal
For Only Watch 2015, Richard Mille has generously donated a prototype of the groundbreaking Tourbillon RM 27-02 Rafael Nadal, worn and tested by Rafael Nadal himself during competitions over the 2015 tennis season.
An ultra-light watch with case back and bezel made from NTPT carbon fused with TPT Quartz, various layers of each material is exposed at random during machining, yielding a unique aesthetic. The RM 27-02 is the first watch to use a skeletonized baseplate known as "unibody", in which the NTPT carbon case band and baseplate are formed into a single piece. Combined with titanium bridges, they support an exquisitely finished tourbillon-equipped movement that can resist shocks up to 5000g.
To be sold at the 7 November Only Watch sale in Geneva to raise funds for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
