Description
Born from Richard Mille’s collaboration with tennis champion Rafael Nadal, the RM35-01 represents the inaugural automatic winding piece in their groundbreaking partnership, establishing the foundation for what would become one of horology’s most celebrated athlete endorsements. This 50mm x 42mm carbon case showcases the brand’s mastery of advanced materials, housing an intricate openworked dial that reveals the architectural beauty of the RMUL3 movement beneath. The RM35-01’s development marked a pivotal moment when Richard Mille proved that ultra-lightweight construction could coexist with automatic winding mechanisms, creating a timepiece robust enough for professional tennis yet refined enough for connoisseur appreciation. Each openworked element serves both aesthetic and functional purposes, reducing weight while maintaining the structural integrity demanded by Nadal’s explosive playing style.
