We have been able to see the new Richard Mille 35-03 Automatic Rafael Nadal on Thursday and yesterday. The watch is part of the RM 035 series, inspired by the RM 027 tourbillon watch series that appeared on the tennis court with Rafa Nadal. The new model will provide two versions: blue TPT quartz with white TPT quartz edge; or white TPT quartz and TPT carbon with TPT carbon edge.

»In our respective fields, we all strive for excellence. Richard and I speak the same language. We are all passionate about our work. For me, it is essential to keep the fire of passion in what we do every day. Although I did not wear the RM 035 model during the competition, he and his team allowed me to participate in this unique adventure, and the confidence shown to me moved me «
