MAKE A DATE OF A DAY
IGA ŚWIĄTEK Roland-Garros, Saturday 10 October 2020. A historic date in the career of Iga Świątek. At 19, she won her first Grand Slam® singles title on the Parisian clay without dropping a single set during the tournament. A year and a half later, she became World No. 1 during a 37-match winning streak, capped by her triumphs at four high-status WTA 1000 events, her second Roland-Garros crown and a first at the US Open.
ROGER FEDERER On 5 July 2009, Roger Federer triumphed at The Championships, Wimbledon, breaking Pete Sampras’s record and becoming the first man to win 15 Grand Slam ® singles titles. In the photo marking this milestone, Federer reveals a Datejust on his wrist, with purple hues echoing the Wimbledon logo. Today, he remains particularly attached to this watch which recalls a unique and defining point in his career: “It was like a perfect storm and the watch was part of it.”
A CONTINUALLY UPDATED WATCHMAKING ICON The Datejust is constantly reinventing itself. Its varied reinterpretations express and showcase Rolex’s expertise in dial-making. Set with diamonds or crafted from mother-of-pearl, adorned with palm or fluted motifs, or featuring a sunray finish, the selection of dials helps uphold the model’s reputation. The same is true of its bezels — smooth, domed, fluted, or diamond-set — with which the Datejust has stylishly spanned eras while perfectly adapting to the personality of its wearers. CELEBRATING DATES WITH DESTINY The Datejust has naturally become the watch of our dates with destiny. Day after day, its dial marks a meeting point between the personal course of each wearer and the passing of time. Seen on the wrists of major figures such as Winston Churchill, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Martin Luther King, the Datejust has spanned eras without ever losing its modern touch. Among the Rolex Testimonees associated with the Datejust, we celebrate personalities who have seized the day to make history in their discipline: the Swiss tennis legend Roger Federer, Polish tennis player Iga Świątek, Swiss skier Lara Gut-Behrami and Canadian singer Michael Bublé.
