Roger Federer wore a five-figure Rolex watch to the 2022 Wimbledon celebration
The eight-time Wimbledon grand slam title holder came to celebrate the centenary celebration this year. The occasion marked the 100-year anniversary of the center court of the grass-court major at SW19. Roger Federer looked astounding in a black suit with a Rolex watch.
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.
