Richard Mille RM 35-02 Automatic Rafael Nadal

The patterned red case and matching strap surround a darker exposed center. Fasteners interrupt the broad red perimeter, and the open dial keeps the watch from reading as a single colored block. This RM 35-02 has an immediate case-led presence that a dark case with a bright band cannot reproduce.

ZF's V7 version uses an automatic RMAL1-style platform beneath the skeleton layout. The movement supports the familiar RM 35-02 wearing role; the red exterior defines this particular configuration. It belongs in a rotation where the watch can be a central part of the outfit rather than a quiet finishing detail.

A colored band on a dark RM 35-02 still leaves the familiar dark tonneau in place. This Rafael Nadal version changes the shell itself. The red pattern continues around the open center and makes the case geometry visible even before the strap is considered. Dark dial architecture and exposed fasteners provide enough interruption to keep the red perimeter structured rather than flat.

The RM 35-02 blue strap places blue mainly at the wrist and dial perimeter. Red here reaches the case itself, making the tonneau outline the first point of comparison.

Before dispatch, our QC team reviews red case finish, dial alignment and visible case transitions.
