Pilot Charles Leclerc spotted wearing Richard Mille

Charles Leclerc, the Monégasque Formula 1 pilot who has been representing Scuderia Ferrari since 2019, is not only an exceptional driver but also someone who has an impeccable taste when it comes to luxury watches. In fact, Leclerc is often seen sporting his Richard Mille RM 35-01 Automatic "Rafael Nadal" watch, which is a collaboration between the renowned watchmaker and the legendary Spanish tennis player.

The RM 35-01 is an exceptional timepiece that boasts exquisite craftsmanship and impressive durability. Its case is made from TPT Carbon, a material that is incredibly strong and resistant to damage. Moreover, the movement of the watch has been tested by engineers at Les Breuleux and found to be shock-resistant, able to withstand more than 5,000g's of force without sustaining any damage.

Another outstanding feature of this model is its closed caseback, which is not typical of high-end watches. The closed caseback ensures that the watch has better water resistance and is less prone to dust and debris penetrating the movement. Unlike the following version (35-02), which features a sapphire crystal back, offering a view of the movement.

Richard Mille RM 35-01 Automatic "Rafael Nadal" is a testament to the masterful work of Richard Mille's experienced watchmakers. This watch is a true masterpiece, with intricate details and incredible durability. As one would expect, such a masterpiece comes with a price tag. The market price for the RM 35-01 is EUR 170.000, but this is not surprising, given the exceptional craftsmanship and superior quality of the materials used in the watch's construction.

In conclusion, Charles Leclerc's choice of the Richard Mille RM 35-01 Automatic "Rafael Nadal" watch is an excellent demonstration of his exquisite taste and appreciation for fine watches. This exceptional timepiece combines strength, durability, and stunning design to create an unforgettable watch, perfect for anyone looking for a unique and top-quality timepiece.
