The RM 27-04 was launched in 2020 to celebrate a decade-long partnership between Richard Mille and the Spanish tennis legend Rafael Nadal . It is a successor to the 2010 RM 027, a watch so revolutionary it weighed just 20 grams including the strap—the RM 27-04 weighs a comparably “chunky” 30 grams, but more than compensates with one of the most beautiful movements in the Richard Mille catalog .

Inside its TitaCarb® case—a proprietary polyamide composite reinforced with carbon fibre offering tensile strength around 3,700 kg/cm²—the watch is powered by a manually wound tourbillon movement suspended on a piece of braided steel cable just 0.27mm in diameter. This cable is woven into a grid resembling the surface of a tennis racket, an unprecedented construction that allows the movement to float within the case. The result? The RM 27-04 can withstand forces in excess of 12,000 Gs—more than enough to survive Rafael Nadal's punishing playing style.

What truly sets Richard Mille apart is its commitment to genuine performance validation. Unlike traditional luxury watch endorsements where athletes wear watches after matches conclude, Richard Mille pays Rafael Nadal to wear their watches during actual competition. When Nadal wins a Grand Slam wearing an RM 27-04, the watch has survived hundreds of serves generating forces exceeding 4 G's per impact. This isn't staged marketing—it's genuine proof that these complicated watches can endure real-world extremes.
