This can be seen through their involvement in the equestrian world. Rolex has been a sponsor of top equestrian events since 1957. Their decision to participate in the sport has much to do with a horse and rider’s commitment to excellence, flawless timing and grace.
Rolex is the official sponsor of the Rolex FEI World Cup Final. During the competition rider and horse experience the most demanding test of their relationship. Over a span of five days, they work together to perfect some of the most difficult jump combinations in the sport. An invitation-only event, qualifying is not for the weary at heart. Much like the best of used Rolex watches both rider and horse must be polished and passionate to earn a spot. For 2011, the Rolex DateJust is the official watch and timekeeper.

Equestrian lovers from around the world visit the prized event and watch the best riders and horses display masterful jumps and athleticism. Aachen is THE event against which all other equestrian competitions are measured against. For 2011, the Rolex DateJust was the official watch. This might be why the world loves the Rolex DateJust.
