So, the five-figure Rolex watch of the Swiss Maestro gained the spotlight when he wore it to the Wimbledon center court’s centenary celebration.

The player has amassed a huge wealth not only because of the prize money through his victories but also through various endorsements.

The Rolex Daytona ‘Orange’ in 18k gold has a black dial with 32 baguette-cut orange sapphires on the bezel and 11 baguette-cut orange sapphire hour markers. Rolex introduced it in 2022 and the player has an endorsement with the brand.

The 20-time grand slam champion had not played at Wimbledon. The player had been on a break for more than a year. His fans were waiting for him to make a comeback at the grass-court major. However, he had denied that and had confirmed his participation at the Laver Cup.

Legacy left behind by Federer

Nonetheless, that did not prepare his fans for the shocking announcement of the Swiss player. He has decided to retire after 24 years of domination on the court.

Even after not playing for more than a year, the Swiss Maestro has consecutively remained the highest-paid tennis player for the 17th year.

What is more astounding is that his arch-rivals, Rafael Nadal, and Novak, get paid around 1/3rd of Federer’s. The present generation of tennis players has taken inspiration from the legacy set by the former world no. 1 and will continue to do so.
