Richard Mille just signed a partnership agreement with professional tennis player Rafael Nadal. To commemorate their relationship, Rafal Nadal worked closely with Richard Mille to build up a tourbillon watch that would be light enough for him to wear while playing tennis. The end result is a new 50 piece special edition RM027 Dolce & Gabbana watches, which weighs less 19 grams, such as the strap. Probably the most interesting thing about this partnership, aside from its lightness, is the fact that Rafael Nadal will wear his $525,000 Richard Mille tourbillon during his matches.Technical Specifications PDFRetail $525,000Source: Richard Mille
