Charles Leclerc dons a rare RM 035 on his wrists
The RM 035 is a bespoke and rare watch that was designed in collaboration with Tennis GOAT Rafael Nadal. The 21-time Grand Slam champion is also a proud ambassador of Richard Mille watches and wears them every time he hits the tennis court.
Leclerc wore this watch during his home Grand Prix (Monaco). This is a fourth and final collaboration with Nadal from the RM 035 collection.
The market value of the watch is $1 million and the actual price hits the $220,000 mark. So this timepiece is not cheap by any standard and is only for collectors who have the money.

The Ferrari driver looks crestfallen since his watch was stolen in Italy. He mentioned that it wasn’t a very good experience for him and that he doesn’t like to talk about it too much.
“It wasn’t a great experience, but I can’t say much more than that. Everything is going on with the police and they are trying to find them. It hasn’t been as smooth as what I’ve read. But overall I’m fine and fully focused on the weekend. It won’t hurt me for this weekend. said Leclerc.
