About this reference
The Richard Mille RM 27-04 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal was released in 2020 as a limited edition of 50 pieces to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the partnership between the athlete and the brand. Collectors prioritize this reference for its technical construction, featuring a case made of TitaCarb, a high-performance polyamide reinforced with 38.5% carbon fiber. The manual-winding caliber RM27-04 utilizes a unique suspension system where the movement is supported by a single 0.27mm steel cable woven into a mesh structure inspired by tennis rackets, allowing the watch to withstand accelerations exceeding 12,000 g’s. The entire timepiece, including the strap, weighs approximately 30 grams. On the secondary market, the RM 27-04 typically commands prices between $2,000,000 and $2,500,000. A notable public sale occurred at the 2021 Only Watch auction, where a prototype version of this reference achieved a hammer price of 2.1 million CHF.
