Rolex appeared in President Donald J. Trump's mandatory financial disclosure report for 2025, but the company's mention had nothing to do with the Rolex clock spotted last November on the Resolute Desk. Instead, the nearly 1,000-page filing, released Tuesday by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, listed Rolex as providing Mr. Trump with 10 tickets to the 2025 U.S. Open valued at $25,000, the first indication of the value of its invitation to last year's tournament.
Rolex CEO Jean-Frédéric Dufour's appearance alongside the president at the men's final generated headlines and prompted Senator Elizabeth Warren to question whether Rolex had sought to influence U.S. trade policy through the invitation, an allegation Mr. Dufour later rejected in a letter.
The disclosure also listed gifts from other organizations, including 10 FIFA World Cup tickets from FIFA president Gianni Infantino worth $15,000. It does not include the gold bar and desk clock presented by Swiss business representatives in the Oval Office because they will become part of the future Presidential Library.
The filing comes as Switzerland seeks a new trade arrangement with the Trump administration before the current tariff agreement expires on July 23. Swiss President Guy Parmelin traveled to Washington this week for the negotiations.
