“Oyster Perpetual”: the Rolex Covetable and Vintage watch from Roger Federer at the 2021 Wimbledon Championships

Tennis superstar Roger Federer is one of the most decorated figures when it comes to supporting brands. Over the years he has been associated with companies such as Mercedes Benz, Lindt, Moet & Chandon and many more. However, one of the most notable companies is Rolex.

Roger Federer has been part of the Rolex family for over a decade. Over the years he has worn a number of the timekeeper’s exquisite designs. Rolex and tennis go hand in hand, the majority of Grand Slam events as well as other predominant events are sponsored by this quintessential prestigious watch company.

Roger Federer, an icon constantly evolving over time

Recently, the Swiss ace sported the “Oyster Perpetual” from the latest Rolex collection. The watch has a deep forest green dial. It is one of the last pieces but the inspiration goes back to history. He wore the watch until the start of the first point of the match and back at the end.

The colorful new Oyster Perpetual worn by the Swiss ace is a reminder of a famous Rolex watch collection dating back to the 1980s. This watch and the personality of the 20-time Grand Slam winner go hand in hand.

Coming to tennis, Federer did not live up to his usual standards. A lot has to do with the two knee surgeries he had the previous year. At 39, things are not going as planned.

Seeing him take part in the handful of tournaments this season, he looks a bit rusty and lacks match practice. Nonetheless, the result at the Wimbledon Championships last week was a disappointment.

In the coming days, the tennis world will be up to date on the veteran’s next move. It will be interesting to see what the next step is for the maestro.
