Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s kiss on Centre Court may have stolen the spotlight at this year’s US Open, but her equally famous ex was also turning heads — sporting a watch he designed himself.
John Mayer, joined by his adorable niece, proudly displayed his Audemars Piguet, while Roger Federer made waves by offering a rare glimpse of one of Rolex’s most coveted timepieces.

When Rolex made waves last year by launching an unexpected white gold Daytona at the 100th anniversary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, it marked one of the most significant moments in recent Rolex history. Then in another surprising move, Rolex discontinued it in under a year, replacing it with a yellow-gold model, possibly the shortest-lived Rolex reference to date. But during the US Open, it made its first public appearance, that too, on the wrist of Swiss icon and tennis legend, Roger Federer, while he was sitting next to Jean-Fédéric Dufour, the CEO of Rolex. So, what may seem a coincidence, might as well be a statement.
