The Rolex watch worn by Roger Federer at Wimbledon is one of the most beautiful of 2023



Roger Federer caused a sensation at Wimbledon on Tuesday July 4. The tournament wanted to pay tribute to him by inviting him to the Royal Box, alongside the Princess of Wales Kate Middleton. The mint green of Prince William’s wife did not eclipse the class of Roger Federer’s beige suit (imitated the next day by a certain David Beckham who opted for the same color for his Ralph Lauren model).

In the alleys of Wimbledon as in the Royal Box at Center Court, Roger Federer charmed everyone. And obviously, he chose premium accessories for his first appearance as a retired tennis player in London. Despite the rain, the 42-year-old Swiss had carefully chosen his sunglasses. A pretty Oliver Peoples model, of which he has been an ambassador since last April, named Finley 1993 Sun and which sports a color which responds to the sweet name of “cherry blossom”. This pair of glasses is not cheap, 425 euros, but it is a very good choice. Just like the one on his watch.

The 10,000 euro Rolex worn by Jannik Sinner after his victory at the Australian Open is one of the most beautiful watches in the world


After easily beating, somewhat to everyone’s surprise, Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals, Jannik Sinner did not miss the opportunity to win his first Grand Slam tournament at the Australian Open. However, he got off to a bad start since trailing two sets to zero in 1h30 of play, the 22-year-old Italian found the resources to reverse the trend and won in five sets against the Russian Daniil Medvedev. He succeeds Adriano Panatta, the last transalpine Grand Slam winner. It was at Roland-Garros in 1976, so we only have 7 years left to wait to know the successor to Yannick Noah, winner of Roland-Garros in 1983. But let’s focus on Jannik Sinner and, in particular, his watch .

Like many other players on the tour – Tsitsipas, Alcaraz, and, of course, the magical retiree Roger Federer – Jannik Sinner is a Rolex brand ambassador. Naturally, once victory was achieved on Australian soil, he put a model from the brand on his wrist. This is a great classic that every good collector must have: a Submariner Date 41 mm Ref. 116610LN with steel case and bracelet, black dial and black ceramic bezel powered by a Perpetual, mechanical, self-winding movement, Caliber3235 offering a power reserve of 70 hours.

We notice that the indexes on the dial are quite imposing, so that the time is clearly readable when the owner takes a dip at a great depth. This Submariner is indeed one of the best-known diving watches in the world. Launched in 1953, this timepiece has not aged a bit and is available in several materials and colors, as demonstrated by the famous Hulk. Here, Jannik Sinner has chosen the sobriety of steel for a watch sold for around 10,000 euros at Rolex. There are also older models on typical Chrono24 sites, which are a little more expensive. Whatever model you choose, it will be a sure value in world watchmaking.
