Roger Federer, The Perpetual 1908

Met Gala Co-Chair and tennis legend Roger Federer rocked a sleek dress watch that’s been referred to as the “King of Sport Watches.” This watch takes design cues from the legendary watches like Rolex Submariner, Daytona, and GMT-Master collections, which are known for their durability. When asked about his accessory choice, Roger said in an interview, “It’s important to accessorize in moments of celebration, and for me, the finishing touch and detail is always my timepiece. The new Rolex Perpetual 1908 adds a timeless elegance to my look at this year’s Met Gala.”
