Rolex and Roger Federer — both icons of their field, both manifest excellence and have been constant recipients of profound love from connoisseurs and fans from around the globe. It is a collaboration that inspires innate delight and excitement. Roger Federer strapped a Rolex watch on his wrist while playing The French Open in 2009. From thereon started a partnership that has stretched for over a decade, with numerous Rolex timepieces gracing his wrist every time he hits the court.

This Datejust II 116334 was worn by Roger Federer when he defeated Andy Roddick at Wimbledon in 2009 and overtook Pete Sampras’ record of 14 Grand Slam titles. It’s a classic Datejust with myriad impressive elements like the 41mm stainless steel case topped by a fluted, white gold bezel, a silver dial featuring carefully applied Arabic numeral hour markers, and of course, the distinguishing date aperture at 3 o’clock reinforced by Cyclops lens — all protected by sapphire crystal. Furthermore, the Oyster bracelet, introduced in the late 1930s by Rolex, completes its elegant design. Rolex Calibre 3136 resides inside the watch, an automatic self-winding movement adept at providing a 48-hour power reserve.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
