RM27-03 Rafael Nadal Yellow Tourbillon copy
Likewise, the RM 27-03 Clone Richard Mille Rafael Nadal Tourbillon reconciles innovative materials with a complex watchmaking architecture. Clay courts are known for their amplifying effect and the same might be said of the RM 27-03, with its striking red and yellow Quartz TPT® case that pays homage to Rafa’s native Spain. This intense burst of colour is achieved by impregnating fine layers of silica just 45 microns thick with a tinted matrix.

The magnificent finishes adorning the RM 27-03 calibre include hand-polished tapered anglage and graceful satin-brushed surfaces that highlight the sparkle of finely microblasted elements. The RM 27-03 offers an impressive play on volumes. Highly stylised, the sharp, streamlined curves of the skeletonised bridges encircling the barrel, the great wheel and the manual winding tourbillon beating at 3 Hz evoke the forward-facing head of a bull. A symbol of Spain, this animal is also Nadal’s preferred emblem. In a playful nod to the champion’s sport, winding and hand-setting are conducted using a torque-limiting crown made of Quartz TPT® in the shape of a tennis ball.
