The proceeds of this event, organised by Antiquorum Auctioneers, Geneva, will be used to support research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Keen to support such a worthy cause, Richard Mille has decided to contribute a unique and symbolic watch to this charity auction.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Instigated in 2005 by Luc Pettavino, President of the Monegasque Association against Muscular Dystrophies, Only Watch mobilises the world\u2019s most prestigious watchmakers. All proceeds raised by auctioning these exceptional timepieces will be used to fund research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy, an extremely debilitating neuromus- cular disease that affects one boy in every 3500.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Having supported Only Watch from the beginning, Richard Mille wanted to donate one of its most emblematic creations to Only Watch 2011: the RM 027 tourbillon developed for and in collaboration with Rafael Nadal. Rafael Nadal has worn this watch in every match he has played since 2010 which is unique in the history of tennis.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Richard Mille wanted to donate a truly unique timepiece to Only Watch 2011. The RM 027 to be auctioned is the very watch worn by Rafael Nadal when he won the 2011 Monte Carlo championships for the seventh year running so clearly meets this criteria. This RM 027 is also the prototype used for pre-production testing the results of which were, of course, extremely positive. The mechanism has never failed during any of the matches played by Rafael Nadal whilst wearing this watch.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>True to the spirit of Only Watch, which offers collectors the opportunity to acquire cutting-edge timepieces, the RM 027 is a technical marvel. This tourbillon watch has a manual winding mechanism and weighs less than 20 grams including the strap. Several years of research and development went into creating this model, of which only 50 limited edition pieces were made.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In April, at the end of the Monte Carlo championships in Monaco, Rafael Nadal met Paul, Luc Pettavino\u2019s son, a 15 year old boy who is struggling against Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Some 250,000 victims suffer from this severe disease across the world. In a symbolic gesture, the world\u2019s Number 1 tennis player handed Paul his watch, the sale of which will help fight his disease.<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/137_272.jpg\" alt=\"The Rafael Nadal RM 027, since 2010 at his wrist when all matches, will be sold to benefit the research against Duchenne muscular dystrophy. \u00a9 Ella Ling For Richard Mille\" \/><\/li>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/137_273.jpg\" alt=\"The Rafael Nadal RM 027 : a tourbillon tested in extreme conditions.\" \/><\/li>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/137_274.jpg\" alt=\"Luc Pettavino, President of the Monegasque Association against Muscular Dystrophies, with his son and Rafael Nadal in April at Monaco.\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Monaco on 22 September 2011, HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco will preside over the fourth Only Watch auction of exceptional watches.
