Additionally, a specific accessory Federer wore had eyes drawn to it like moths to a flame. 

The Swiss Maestro’s choice of outfit evoked many compliments from his followers. Along with him, his wife, Mirka Federer, also controlled the room as they looked like fashion icons.

Federer is sponsored by many brands around the world. He entered the list of elite athletes when Rolex decided to make him their brand ambassador in 2006. The Swiss watch company revealed a brand-new watch in their catalogue last month at the Watches & Wonders trade show held in Geneva, Switzerland.

The model made headlines as Federer decided to take the watch for a spin on the Met Gala red carpet. The Perpetual 1908 is classified as a sports watch and priced at $23,470. Even the former world number 1 talked highly of the watch. 

I believe style is found in the perfect balance of color and texture,” said Federer. “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 timeless elegance to my look at this year’s Met Gala“.
