DescriptionThe Richard Mille RM 35-02 Automatic Rafael Nadal is a masterpiece of watchmaking engineering, boasting a unique blend of innovation, lightweight construction, and exceptional shock resistance. At its heart lies the automatic calibre RMAL1, featuring a skeletonized design that offers a captivating glimpse into the intricate workings of the watch. The baseplate and bridges, crafted from grade 5 titanium, undergo rigorous wet-sandblasting and PVD/Titalyt® treatment, ensuring exceptional rigidity and surface smoothness. Contributing to the watch's resilience is the variable inertia balance wheel, oscillating at a frequency of 28,800 vph (vibrations per hour). This balance wheel, paired with a double-barrel system, enhances torque stability, a crucial factor for maintaining consistent timekeeping.

One of the defining features of the RM 35-02 is its case, available in two options: classic Carbon TPT® or a bold Quartz-TPT® red with white accents. The Carbon TPT® is a testament to Richard Mille's technological innovation, utilizing layers of carbon nanotubes stacked and compressed under high pressure and temperature. This meticulous process results in a remarkably lightweight and robust material, ideal for the challenges faced by athletes like Rafael Nadal. The Quartz-TPT® red, on the other hand, pushes the boundaries of watchmaking aesthetics. Crafted from layers of ultra-thin (45 microns) silicon fibers, each layer meticulously arranged to alternate the direction by 45 degrees, and then infused with a specially developed red matrix. This intricate process not only delivers a stunning visual impact but also boasts exceptional strength, biocompatibility, and UV resistance.

Another noteworthy aspect of the RM 35-02 is the integration of a variable-geometry rotor, a hallmark of Richard Mille's automatic movements. This ingenious mechanism allows the wearer to adjust the winding efficiency based on their activity level, ensuring optimal performance in various scenarios. Additionally, the watch features a sapphire crystal case back with anti-reflective treatment, offering a captivating view of the intricate inner workings from every angle.
