Powered by a version of the brand’s ultra-thin Calibre RMUP-01, the movement is seamlessly integrated into the monobloc case, eliminating the need for screws. The main plate and bridges, crafted from PVD-treated grade 5 titanium, ensure optimal performance and precision. The flying tourbillon, positioned at 5 o’clock, and the innovative flying mainspring barrel contribute to the watch’s impressive 55-hour power reserve.

Limited to just 80 pieces worldwide, the RM 27-05 Flying Tourbillon Rafael Nadal exemplifies exclusivity and sophistication. Each watch is priced at $1.15 million and comes with an elastic textile strap, enhancing both comfort and style.
