Visiting Wimbledon at the start of the week, Roger Federer stood out in many ways. First of all, because he was almost alone in the royal box for the start of the match between Alexander Zverev and Jiri Lehecka. Then it was her look that also attracted attention. Particularly thanks to his magnificent brown suit and, above all, his watch. This turned the heads of specialists in the field.

As always during his visits to Wimbledon, Roger Federer wore a Rolex on his wrist. In 2022, he came to London with a new and unique Cosmograph Daytona, specially created for him, whose value exceeded one million francs.

This year, the Basel resident opted for simplicity with a more discreet watch, but no less legendary. The eight-time Wimbledon winner sported a Rolex Datejust II Silver Blue Arabic. This is the same model that he put on just after the final won in 2009 against Andy Roddick, which allowed him to lift his 15th Grand Slam and beat, at the time, Pete Sampras’ record.

The Datejust II was only produced between 2009 and 2016 by the Swiss watchmaker. This chic, efficient and elegant piece has become very popular and particularly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of the brand. On certain sites, however, it is possible to find it for an amount of around 12,000 euros, indicates GQ.

The copy belonging to Roger Federer is invaluable, because it refers to a moment in the history of Wimbledon and sport.
