The Richard Mille RM 35-03 “Rafael Nadal” in blue Quartz TPT is a high-performance automatic timepiece engineered for dynamic wear. Designed in collaboration with the tennis champion, it introduces one of the brand’s most innovative features—the patented Butterfly Rotor.
The tonneau-shaped case, measuring approximately 43.15 × 49.95 mm, is crafted from layered Quartz TPT, offering exceptional lightness, durability, and a distinctive wave-like texture. The vibrant blue finish reinforces its sporty, contemporary identity.
The skeletonized dial reveals the automatic Caliber RMAL2, constructed from grade 5 titanium and designed for both precision and resilience. The movement delivers approximately 55 hours of power reserve and features an open-worked architecture that enhances mechanical visibility.
A standout innovation, the Butterfly Rotor allows the wearer to manually engage or disengage the rotor via a pusher, optimizing winding efficiency during physical activity. This feature reflects Richard Mille’s focus on performance-driven engineering.
Fitted with a ventilated rubber strap, the RM 35-03 “Rafael Nadal” combines advanced materials, technical innovation, and athletic design—making it a distinctive choice for collectors seeking modern performance horology.
