It is a very unique model watch that has been specially collaborated with by the 14-time French Open winner. The watch weighs only 30 grams, making it lightweight on the wrist for the player. This weight also includes the weight of the strap, which is fantastic given that it looks so luxurious. The brand has only launched 50 pieces of this unique watch, so it is not accessible to everyone.

As we said, Rafael Nadal has always had a wonderful taste when it comes to watches, and this is not the only outstanding watch that he has owned. There have been more in the past. Let’s take a look.
Nadal’s watch collection has swayed away his fans in the past
If we go way back in time, we notice that Rafael Nadal has primarily styled all the watches from Richard Mille itself. In the year 2010, Nadal styled Richard Mille for the first time, and it was called RM 027. That watch weighed only 20 grams, and again, it was launched only with a pack of 50 pieces and not more. The next watch he styled was the Rm 27-01, which was in the year 2013, and it weighed only 18.83 grams, including the strap.

Then came the RM 27-02, which was the first watch in the Rafael Nadal category and named after him. It had a very artistic look due to its marbleized effect. The next watch in this category was the RM 27-03, which had its own uniqueness due to its immense shock absorption ability. And now finally, here is RM 27-04 that he will probably be wearing this year.
