The Richard Mille RM 27-05 Flying Tourbillon Rafael Nadal is a remarkable timepiece, the latest joint creation between Richard Mille and renowned tennis player Rafael Nadal. This watch is a testament to engineering excellence, boasting a weight of just 38 grams including the strap, and a case thickness of merely 9 mm.

Crafted with the revolutionary Carbon TPT® B.4 material, the RM 27-05 stands as the world’s lightest and most durable tourbillon watch, capable of withstanding an acceleration impact of up to 14,000 g. The innovative material development took five years, increasing the density by 4%, fiber hardness by 15%, and resin strength by 30%, while optimizing the anisotropic structure to maintain unparalleled lightness and robustness.

The new creation features a PMMA ultra-light polymer for the watch crystal, replacing the traditional sapphire crystal. This upgrade not only reduces the overall weight but also enhances transparency and anti-reflective properties, adding to the timepiece’s allure.

The RM 27-05 showcases an open-worked skeleton dial that reveals its stunning geometric mechanics. The V-shaped bridges and tourbillon cocks create a striking visual appeal, while the skeletonized barrel displays the winding status. The intricate arrangement of gear trains at 2 o’clock and the layered gears at 8 o’clock seamlessly connect, exemplifying the sophisticated engineering aesthetic of this extraordinary watch.
