Rolex is the premium partner, official timekeeper & official watch of Roland-Garros 2019

The Roland-Garros Opening Party presented by Rolex was held in New Delhi to celebrate the two brands’ new alliance. This forms a part of a series of exclusive events which provide a special platform for announcing the new collaboration between the two prestigious brands and officially launching the 2019 Roland-Garros season. It was held in Brazil, China and India, just a few weeks before the Grand Slam begins.

 

The party in India was held at the historic Imperial Hotel in New Delhi and graced by legendary tennis star and Rolex Testimonee, Mr. Vijay Amritraj as well as Mr. Wolfgang Weilbach, General Manager, Rolex India. Also present at the occasion was Mr. Lucas Dubourg, Head of International Development, French Federation of Tennis.

 

In the eyes of sports fans, and indeed the general public, the Roland-Garros tournament is an unmissable event that enjoys immense prestige. The 2018 Roland-Garros attracted more than 480,000 spectators and was broadcast in 224 territories worldwide, confirming the tournament’s status as a first-class international sporting event. Organised by the French Tennis Federation, Roland-Garros is the only Grand Slam tournament to be played on clay, one of the oldest and most noble surfaces in the history of tennis.

Partnering Roland-Garros is a natural progression given Rolex’s long and enduring history of supporting the sport’s leading events and organizations. These tennis championships are among the four pillars of the game, the biggest stage for players to showcase their abilities.
