Causing a stir in the watch world recently was the fact that tennis hero Roger Federer was seen wearing the most talked about exclusive Rolex of the moment - the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ‘Meteorite Dial. White gold with a meteorite dial - and when we say meteorite we don’t mean some Rolex speak for a metal look type of dial; we mean actual 'from space' meteorite.
Obviously a pretty rare material, with unique swirling patterns caused by the cooling process of entering out atmosphere no two meteorite dial textures are the same. Absolutely astounding, and completely, actually, out of this world.
This is the year celebrate and showcase to be sponsored by Rolex - Federer was seen early this year at the ceremony celebrating the 100th anniversary of centre court games wearing a brand new off-catalogue Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ‘Orange’. This is the new new new Rolex crafted from 18ct gold, with 32 baguette cut orange sapphires set around the bezel and 11 baguette cut orange sapphires on the black dial as hour markers.
Off-catalogue means its not officially available in any Rolex boutique, nor on the Rolex website. Instead it's only offered to Rolex’s most important ambassadors of the brand.
In the early spring of this year Federer was seen wearing the Rolex GMT-Master II ‘Sprite’ at the 2022 Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix. In addition to its unique bezel colour combination of green and black, it’s a right-handed watch: that is, it’s designed to be worn by left-handed people. Not only is its crown on the left, but its date window is too, looking, we think, very odd indeed. Its incredibly sort after, and showing up all over the luxury watch world being offered for crazy prices.
Federer has some seriously notable endorsement deals - Mercedes Benz, Moet & Chandon, to name a few - but he seems to be enjoying his Rolex perks the most.
