The Richard Mille RM 027 Tourbillon "Rafael Nadal" is a revolutionary timepiece that redefined the possibilities of ultra-lightweight, high-performance watchmaking. Designed specifically for tennis legend Rafael Nadal, this watch weighs an astonishing under 20 grams with strap, making it virtually unnoticeable on the wrist—even during intense match play. The case is crafted from an advanced carbon composite, offering incredible strength and shock resistance while maintaining an incredibly light profile.

At its heart lies a manual-winding tourbillon movement, suspended by a system of high-tensile cables within the case—a groundbreaking innovation that absorbs impacts and enhances durability. Despite its featherweight construction, the RM 027 is a serious piece of haute horology, showcasing Richard Mille’s obsession with material science, extreme engineering, and cutting-edge aesthetics. As one of the most iconic collaborations in modern watchmaking, the RM 027 "Rafael Nadal" is both a technical marvel and a coveted collector’s trophy, symbolizing the brand’s ethos of "a racing machine on the wrist."

*This timepiece is limited to 50 pieces.

Best purchase experience I could have imagined. Donald from Wrist Aficionado was very helpful and responsive whether by text, phone call or email. Shared videos with me and helped me get the watch I have been chasing for sometime. I have found my preferred watch dealer and will be a repeat customer. Payment processed same day and the watch ship later that day. A Very Happy Customer. Thank you everyone at the WA team!

Dealing with Vadim was a pleasure. The price was very fair and the communication and service was perfect. I buy a lot of watches and this experience was as good as they get. The audemars piguet arrived right on time and packaged beautifully. They even threw in a little gift!
