Object of Desire: Richard Mille RM 27-03 Rafael Nadal

Rafael Nadal has secured 51 titles on clay, making him the undisputed champion of the red dust. Although the striking red and yellow hues of this Richard Mille RM 27-03 Quartz TPT® case pay homage to his native Spain, this bold timepiece looks more like it’s clad in the skin of a venomous viper. With his famed left-handed serving speed in excess of 200km/hr, there is, however, no viper that could ever come close. Striking a fine balance while making a statement, Richard Mille make incredible bold pieces while keeping things feather-light. Lightweight but virtually indestructible, the main innovation lies in its tourbillon calibre to withstand shocks up to 10000 g’s. Produced in a limited edition of only 50 pieces, if you can keep up you may only get to see one on his wrist.
