Lot Essay
As the sibling of the hugely successful and ground breaking RM027 Rafael Nadal, first introduced in 2011 and followed by RM027-01 in 2013, the RM035 embodied all of the spirit of the more complicated tourbillon in a Chronofiable® certified time only piece.
Nicknamed "Baby Nadal", The case of the RM035 is made of a magnesium-aluminium alloy allowing it to be both light and strong, which is then given a black electro-plasma oxidisation treatment to increase scratch and corrosion resistance. The baseplate, bridges and balance cock of the movement are made of black PVD coated grade 5 titanium, allowing the movement to be very rigid even with its incredible low weight of 4.3 grams to give a total all in weight for the watch of 45.8 grams.
The RM035 is a fine example of how Richard Mille combines cutting edge materials and technologies to produce watches which push the limits of what is believed possible in the world of horology.
