The Richard Mille RM 35-02 Carbon TPT is a high-performance, ultra-lightweight timepiece that bridges the gap between extreme durability and everyday wearability. Originally developed in collaboration with tennis legend Rafael Nadal, the RM 35-02 was the first in the RM 035 series to feature an automatic movement, making it both technically advanced and highly versatile.

The case, measuring 49.94 x 44.50 x 13.15mm, is crafted from Carbon TPT, a high-tech material composed of hundreds of layers of carbon fiber, compressed at high temperatures to create a distinctive, marbled appearance. Lightweight yet incredibly strong, this material makes the RM 35-02 ideal for active lifestyles and extreme conditions.

Inside beats the Caliber RMAL1, an in-house automatic skeletonized movement featuring a variable geometry rotor, allowing the winding system to be tuned to the wearer’s activity level. The movement’s baseplate and bridges are made from grade 5 titanium, ensuring both structural integrity and lightness, while delivering a 55-hour power reserve.

Fitted with a vented rubber strap and a titanium deployant buckle, the RM 35-02 Carbon TPT embodies Richard Mille’s philosophy of "a racing machine on the wrist"—a watch engineered for resilience, performance, and unmistakable visual identity.

The Richard Mille RM 35-02 Carbon TPT is a dynamic and technically advanced timepiece that embodies the brand’s fusion of cutting-edge materials, high-performance engineering, and bold design. Inspired by tennis legend Rafael Nadal and designed for wear in the most demanding conditions, the RM 35-02 takes the lightweight philosophy of the RM 035 series to a new level—marking the first time an automatic movement was introduced in the Nadal line.

The 44.50mm x 49.94mm x 13.15mm tonneau-shaped case is constructed from Carbon TPT, a proprietary material composed of hundreds of layers of parallel carbon filaments stacked at alternating angles. This process creates a distinctive, layered aesthetic across the case, with each pattern unique to the individual watch. Carbon TPT is not only visually striking but also exceptionally durable and lightweight—ideal for a timepiece designed to endure high-impact physical activity.

The skeletonized dial reveals the in-house Caliber RMAL1, an automatic movement crafted from grade 5 titanium with a variable geometry rotor. This rotor design allows for optimized winding based on the wearer’s activity level, a hallmark of Richard Mille’s innovation. The movement delivers a power reserve of approximately 55 hours and is finished with black PVD treatment and red accents, highlighting the technical depth and athletic inspiration of the watch.

With its rubber strap, robust construction, and precision engineering, the RM 35-02 Carbon TPT is both a tool and a statement. It represents the culmination of Richard Mille’s pursuit of ultra-lightweight, ultra-strong timepieces and is ideal for collectors who value high-tech horology wrapped in an unmistakably modern design.

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!
