India vs Pakistan: During the match against Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium on February 23 in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, Hardik Pandya was seen wearing one of the most popular and exclusive watches in the world, the Richard Mille Rafael Nadal Edition, RM27-02 CA FQ Tourbillon with Skeleton Dial.
Rafael Nadal Watch
The Richard Mille RM 027, known as the Rafael Nadal watch in the luxury watch community, is one of the lightest watches ever manufactured. The RM27-02 watch weighs a little less than 20 grams including the strap. It was created in collaboration with tennis legend Rafael Nadal and is part of the entire RM27 lineup, which was specially created for the sports icon.
According to Richard Mille’s website, “It is with the core concept of lightness that we developed the RM 027 Tourbillon in collaboration with Rafael Nadal, who tested the RM 027 in real-world conditions and wore it during tennis matches.”
The watch is currently priced between Rs 12 and 15 crore as secondary pricing in the grey market and only a limited number of watches have been made for this series. According to several media reports, Rafael Nadal was hesitant to wear any watch on his arm while playing tennis, so he challenged Richard Mille to make such a light watch.
According to Nico Leonard, owner of the Pride & Pinion company, this watch, which is a relatively new piece of RM27-02, can sell for around $2 million in the secondary market. Anant Ambani, son of Reliance Group business tycoon Mukesh Ambani, owns the RM27-02, as does Hardik Pandya. Anant Ambani was seen wearing this watch in the IPL final when Mumbai Indians won the series.
