INTRODUCTION
At Richard Mille, the watch has always been considered a practical accessory that should be useful and totally reliable, whatever its owner may be doing. Inspired by the collection of RM 027 Tourbillon watches worn by Rafa Nadal on the tennis courts, the RM 035 Collection of ‘baby Nadal’ watches has been designed as a concentration of technology at the service of performance and those who deliver it. To be worn without moderation and without compromise.
The RM 35-03 Automatic Rafael Nadal, the fourth watch in the RM 035 Collection, inaugurates a new winding mechanism christened the ‘butterfly rotor’. This patented invention hands direct control over the automatic movement’s winding to the wearer. It’s a brand new way to stay in touch with your watch under all circumstances.
Skeletonised automatic-winding movement with hours, minutes, seconds, patented butterfly rotor, sport mode and function selector.
Power reserve: around 55 hours (± 10%).
Baseplate And Bridges Made Of Grade 5 Titanium
Manufacturing these components in grade 5 titanium with black PVD and electroplasma treatments confers great rigidity on the entire assembly, as well as precise surface flatness, essential for perfect functioning of the gear train.
The skeletonised baseplate and the bridges were subjected to intensive and complete validation tests to optimise their stress resistance.
Butterfly Rotor
Patented by Richard Mille, the butterfly rotor offers the wearer the possibility of varying the rotor geometry by themselves, controlling the winding of the movement according to their lifestyle and sporting activities.
The butterfly rotor is made up of two weights in grade 5 titanium and metal. In their initial position, the weights cause a radial displacement of the center of gravity, generating the necessary torque to wind the barrel. With a simple pressure on the pusher at 7 o’clock (SPORT MODE), a gear train dedicated to the rotor deploys the two weights at 180°. The center of gravity is then brought back to the center, bringing the rotor into balance, canceling its winding power and thus any excessive winding of the calibre.
This invention allows the movement’s winding mechanism to be optimised on demand. An ON/OFF indicator located at 6 o’clock allows the owner to see the status of the rotor, if it is activated or not.

The safest method for transactions of luxury watches online.
Yes. Every product we sell is authenticated using a multi-point inspection. We buy our own watches too! Just to keep you confident, we also offer a 100% refund guarantee for any authenticity issues.
Unworn is what most of our inventory is currently on condition. We do sell pre-owned watches for a discount, so that will also be communicated when you get into contact with us.
We offer free overnight shipping and orders are processed same day. So often our customers receive their watch next day, or day after on more rare occasions. Exact delivery times will vary based on carrier and availability.
It depends. We have multiple inventory locations, but no physical showroom. Depending on availability, and purchase, we could schedule you to see the watch before you purchase. However, it does require a deposit.
No. We are an executive team of 3 that have been working on 47th st in NYC (Diamond District) for close to 20 years now. Recently, we wanted to expand worldwide, so we opened WATCHXNYC – an online showroom brand to showcase our inventory and sourcing abilities. Rest assured, we know watches well.
