RM 27-04 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal

This new model goes very well with the earlier watch collections created for the Spanish champion. RM 27-04 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal is unique in several respects since it also celebrates the ten-year cooperation between Rafael Nadal and Richard Mille. The aim in designing timepieces for Rafael Nadal has always been to strike a balance between resistance and lightness. The RM 27-04 is no exception, weighing only 30 grams with the strap attached. Tourbillon movement wound manually with hours and minutes.
