ROLEX CELEBRATES INAUGURAL YEAR AS PREMIUM PARTNER,
OFFICIAL TIMEKEEPER AND OFFICIAL WATCH OF ROLAND-GARROS
The 2019 edition of Roland-Garros has special importance for Swiss watch manufacturer Rolex, which, for the first time in its history, will serve as the tournament’s Premium Partner, Official Timekeeper and Official Watch.
From 26 May to 9 June, the world’s best tennis players will gather in Paris to compete at the second Grand Slam® tournament of the year and the only one played on clay.
For more than 40 years, Rolex has been a loyal and enthusiastic supporter of tennis. The foundations of the partnership with tennis were laid in 1978 when Rolex became the Official Timekeeper of the sport’s oldest and most revered tournament, The Championships, Wimbledon. These roots, however, go back much further, to the origins of the company and the vision of its founder Hans Wilsdorf, who made the perpetual drive for excellence the brand’s abiding creed.
