Nadal debuted the $1.1 million watch as he faced off against the German player. In what could possibly be his final appearance at the French Open, the 14-time tournament winner and Louis Vuitton brand ambassador was eliminated in the first round by the number-four seed in three hours and five minutes. Nadal has stepped onto the courts of Roland Garros 115 times, only defeated a total of three times.

Weighing 11.5 grams, the RM27-05 stands as the lightest creation ever produced by Richard Mille. This achievement is attributed to its baseplate and bridges crafted from micro blasted and PVD-treated grade 5 titanium — an alloy renowned for its biocompatibility, high corrosion resistance and structural rigidity, traits prized in the aerospace, aeronautics and automotive industries.
Highlighting Richard Mille’s dedication to pushing boundaries, the V-shaped gear train bridge is fashioned from Carbon TPT, a material celebrated for its durability against microcracks and splits.
