Rafael Nadal Becomes First Tennis Star To Wear $1 Million Watch On The Tennis Court

The 34-year-old has become the first person to wear a million-dollar watch on the court, courtesy of Richard Mille The Swiss luxury watchmakers have produced the RM 27-04 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal for the champion as he vies for his 13th Roland Garros title at French Open 2020 According to the Richard Mille website, when Rafael Nadal first met the watchmaker in 2008 he didn't give much thought to wearing a watch on the field.

For the French Open 2020 piece, the creators were inspired by the tensile strength of a tennis racket, which is why the watch mechanics are set on a wire mesh that closely resembles a tennis racket The watch colours have been chosen to match Nadal's matchday outfit at French Open 2020 The watch uses Richard Mille's TitaCarb® technology for the case and has been designed to withstand the rigours of a tennis match.

As with all of Richard Mille's Rafael Nadal watch collections, only 50 pieces of this watch will be crafted. . Source
