Analysis

Rolex is the benchmark luxury watch brand in sport and the most recognised name in tennis sponsorship. As Official Timekeeper at all four Grand Slams — Wimbledon, Roland-Garros, the US Open and the Australian Open — Rolex has institutional embedding across the sport's major events. Its ambassador strategy targets prestige over volume: Federer was its defining tennis face for two decades; Alcaraz is the current cornerstone. Rolex recently ended its Formula 1 timekeeping deal (replaced by TAG Heuer in 2025) but remains dominant in tennis, golf (The Open Championship, Ryder Cup) and sailing.
