Despite his retirement from tennis last year, Roger Federer keeps popping up in the media as the former World No.1 was seen at the 2023 Met Gala, an event which he co-hosted.
Federer was dressed in an elegant Gucci suit, and sported a brand new Rolex. The Swiss Maestro has been an ambassador for the famous watch brand during his 20-year career, one of many endorsements that keep's the 41-year old as one of the highest paid athletes even after his retirement.

The Rolex worn by Federer is the Perpetual 1908, a new formal watch that has its roots in the Submariner, Daytona and GMT-Master lines. Federer wore a white gold and black dial version of the 1908 at the Met Gala, the first time that version has been displayed in public.
The 1908 is Rolex's first all-new model since the launch of the Sky-Dweller in 2012. It replaces the now discontinued Cellini. The 1908 is the first in the Perpetual collection to focus on more traditional models. In addition to Federer's white gold version, the piece is available in white gold with a white dial and yellow gold with a black and white dial.
"I believe that true style consists in the perfect balance between colors and textures," said the 20-time Grand Slam champion. "In the most important moments it is necessary to match the accessories. For me the final touch and the detail that can make the difference is always represented by the choice of the watch right. The new Rolex Perpetual 1908 adds timeless elegance to my look at the Met Gala."
Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.
