Richard Mille RM 27-04 – The Ultra-Light Masterpiece Inspired by Rafael Nadal

The Richard Mille RM 27-04 is an extraordinary demonstration of engineering precision and extreme performance, created in collaboration with tennis legend Rafael Nadal. Designed to withstand the intense shock, speed, and motion of elite-level sport, this timepiece pushes the boundaries of lightweight durability and technical innovation.

At the core of the RM 27-04 is a tourbillon movement suspended within the case by an intricate steel cable micro-mesh system—an architectural marvel that allows the watch to resist shocks of up to 12,000 G’s. This patented construction not only enhances strength but also delivers a visually striking, open-worked aesthetic, exposing the mechanical depth beneath the surface.

The case is crafted from TitaCarb®, a high-performance material composed of polyamide reinforced with carbon fiber, offering exceptional rigidity while keeping the watch remarkably light—just 30 grams including the strap. Its signature tonneau shape, textured finish, and sharply contoured lines give the RM 27-04 a distinctive, technical presence.

Every detail—from the titanium spline screws to the ergonomic strap—is purpose-built for comfort, endurance, and elite-level performance. The watch’s bold, sporty silhouette reflects Nadal’s dynamic energy while maintaining the luxurious identity that defines Richard Mille.

Limited in production and crafted with cutting-edge materials, the RM 27-04 stands as a rare collector’s piece—an icon of modern haute horlogerie where innovation and athletic excellence meet.
