Every Rolex Tells a Story: Steve Guerdat

Olympic equestrian Steve Guerdat, born in Switzerland and coached by his father Philippe Guerdat, was riding horses before he learned how to walk. The young but successful show jumper won the Rolex Grand Prix at the CHI Geneva in 2013 wearing an Everose gold Rolex Daytona and he shares his passion for horses and his timepiece in the latest installment of the watchmaker's Every Rolex Tells a Story series on rolex.com.

"You really need to be addicted to it because you basically have to give your life to the horses. It is a beautiful school of life: what horses can teach me makes me a better person. The success comes after," Guerdat says of his passion for riding. Rolex is a company that has always tied itself to excellence and achievement, so it is no wonder they tapped Guerdat for his Rolex story. His Cosmograph Daytona (Reference # 116515LN) features a black Cerachrom bezel on the rose gold case and a black leather strap.
