Roger Federer Wore Over 25 Rolexes In A Career Spanning 20 Years. Here Are Some Of The Best

Roger Federer spent last week closing his career in style: a legends night at Arthur Ashe Stadium against Andy Roddick, John McEnroe and Andre Agassi, followed by a formal enshrinement in the 2026 International Tennis Hall of Fame class in Newport days later.

Elated as we are, we also can't take our eyes off the very colourful Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 with the multicolored "Jubilee motif" dial the tennis legend wore to the event. Introduced just at the previous Watches and Wonders, it features a kaleidoscopic, multicolored lacquer grid. The letters from the name "Rolex" are arranged sequentially in contrasting, bright tones over a repeating geometric monogram pattern.

Which led me to the Roger Federer Rolex rabbit hole. Turns out, more than 25 different Rolex references have shown up on his wrist since the partnership began in 2006, and that number doesn't even include his wife Mirka's personal collection, who has assembled her own case for the household trophy, including an emerald-set Day-Date 40 and a white gold Rainbow Daytona.

Below are some of Roger Federer's most impressive Rolex moments over the years.

Oystersteel and yellow gold, a slate grey dial, green Roman numerals nodding to the tournament's signature colour. Federer wore this exact reference in 2017, beating Marin Cilic for his eighth Wimbledon title. He has named the Datejust his personal favorite Rolex line in interviews over the years, and collectors nicknamed this one after the place he wore it best.

The first Rolex people clocked on Federer's wrist: a steel Datejust 36 with a rare black concentric dial collectors call the tuxedo or bullseye. It runs on the older Calibre 3135, the workhorse automatic movement Rolex used across the Datejust line before the 3235 replaced it. Federer wore it lifting his third consecutive US Open trophy in 2006, the same year Rolex bought out the rest of his Maurice Lacroix contract and made him a "testimonee," reportedly for close to $15 million a year.

Federer has cycled through several versions of the Sky-Dweller, Rolex's annual calendar with a built-in second time zone. He wore the blue-dialed steel reference after a Miami Open win, and has also been seen in a now-discontinued Everose gold version with a chocolate dial, a combination he clearly liked enough to keep wearing after it left the catalogue.

Federer wore this white gold Yacht-Master at Roland Garros in 2009: the only French Open title of his career, and the win that finally completed his career Grand Slam.

Yellow gold case, black dial, and a sapphire crystal bezel insert cut in a shade of orange Rolex doesn't often go near, this watch runs on the Calibre 4130 chronograph movement. Federer debuted it at Wimbledon in 2022.

Rolex only casts a handful of references in platinum each year. This one, released to mark the Daytona's 50th anniversary, pairs an ice-blue dial with a monobloc brown Cerachrom ceramic bezel. Federer debuted this Daytona around January 2019 at the Hopman Cup exhibition tournament, and he has worn it publicly on other various off-court occasions following its release.

An 18k Everose gold case on the traditional President bracelet, paired with a special 60th-anniversary olive green dial and Roman numerals, powered by the in-house Calibre 3255. Federer wore it into the 2019 Wimbledon final, the five-set collapse against Novak Djokovic that included two championship points he never converted. The watch had a flawless day, but Federer didn't get the ending to match.

Federer owns more than one version of Rolex's dual-time sports watch, including the blue-and-black Cerachrom bezel colourway collectors nicknamed "Batman," and an all-black stealth version they've nicknamed "Bruce Wayne." Both run on the Calibre 3285, using a 24-hour hand and rotating ceramic bezel to track a second time zone alongside local time.

Yellow gold case, a black ceramic bezel, and exotic "Paul Newman" style counters on the dial, this is built around a modified version of Rolex's newer Calibre 4131 with an extra 24-hour totalizer worked in for endurance racing. Federer debuted it at Watches & Wonders in 2024, wore it to the US Open alongside Rolex CEO Jean-Frederic Dufour, and later strapped it back on to wave the starting flag at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2025.

An off-catalogue piece that doesn't appear anywhere on Rolex's own website, set with blue sapphires and considered one of the rarest Daytonas the brand has ever produced, with an estimated market value north of $1.5 million. Federer wore it at the 2025 Laver Cup.
