Richard Mille Flying Tourbillon Rafael Nadal
Ref. RM 27-05
The Richard Mille RM 27-05 Flying Tourbillon Rafael Nadal is a groundbreaking expression of ultralight engineering and cutting-edge watchmaking, developed in close collaboration with tennis legend Rafael Nadal. Designed to withstand extreme conditions on the court, this timepiece weighs just 11.5 grams without the strap, making it the lightest mechanical tourbillon watch ever created by the brand.
Its case is crafted from Carbon TPT® B.4, a next-generation composite exclusive to Richard Mille, offering exceptional durability, shock resistance, and a refined matte finish. The skeletonized movement features a flying tourbillon, enhancing chronometric performance while minimizing weight and friction. Despite its feather-light construction, the RM 27-05 is tested to withstand shocks of over 14,000 g—a true testament to its structural resilience.
The manually wound movement provides a power reserve of approximately 55 hours, housed within a monobloc case design for superior strength and rigidity. Every component reflects the brand’s obsession with performance, from the hand-finished bridges to the ultra-efficient gear train.
With its unparalleled combination of extreme lightness, precision, and robustness, the RM 27-05 is not just a watch—it’s a technical achievement born from the spirit of sport and innovation.
The Antarctique combines sophisticated style and look with a genuine in-house power movement bound to stake a major claim in the popular sport-chic segment.
The Antarctique is a 40.5 mm or 38.5 mm three-hander, thin enough to slip comfortably under a cuff, and with a carefully-honed, edgy look. The transparent case back reveals the model’s beating heart, the vigorous, 30-millimeter SXH5 automatic caliber, conceived internally by a multifaceted team. Special attention was given to both performance and appearance, so the movement’s parts are arranged for visual harmony and transparency.
Alternatively, the Antarctique Rattrapante in 42.5 mm., a split-second mono-pusher chronograph with a unique, dial-side mechanism, embodies the delicate balance between high-end mechanics and refined aesthetics.
