Roger Federer and Leonardo DiCaprio have joined forces with Rolex in an initiative that reflects their commitment to our children’s education and the planet. Four unique and exclusive gem-set versions of the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona are offered at auction. Each timepiece is inspired by one of the four seasons. Organized in partnership with PHILLIPS auction house, on 28 September in London, all proceeds from the Rolex Four Seasons sale will benefit the Federer Foundation and Re:wild.
Rolex Testimonees Roger Federer and Leonardo DiCaprio are both deeply involved with foundations dedicated to creating lasting global impact.
Established in 2003, the Federer Foundation gives children in Southern Africa and Switzerland the opportunity to learn, play and thrive.
Re:wild was launched by a team of renowned conservation scientists together with Leonardo DiCaprio. It protects and restores the natural world by partnering with Indigenous Peoples, local communities and on-the-ground conservation organizations.
