From July 1st to 14th, 2019, the 133rd Wimbledon Tennis Championships (The Championships, Wimbledon) performed wonderfully. Rolex’s collaboration with tennis began in 1978. At the time, Rolex became the timepiece for the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, the world’s first lawn tennis championship and the oldest and most prestigious tennis event in the world.
