Items Offered from Richard Mille's Popular Series





The winning bid was for the "RM035 Rafael Nadal Prototype." This model has received Chronofiable certification, which accelerates the aging process of the watch and rigorously tests its durability, proving that its precision is unaffected under extreme conditions. By using titanium spline screws for the bridges and case, the tightening torque of the screws can be optimally controlled during assembly, ensuring it is unaffected by repeated assembly and disassembly. Furthermore, the magnesium case, used in the aerospace, automotive, and medical fields, is highly resistant to wear and corrosion, making it an exquisite piece designed for long-term enjoyment in every aspect.

Although the estimated price was 5 million yen, it was sold for ¥8,191,000, significantly exceeding that amount. In addition to the entire sum being donated to the Japanese Red Cross Society, messages were solicited and released from famous admirers such as Jackie Chan.
