Jannik Sinner Celebrates Wimbledon Win in Style with ‘Sundust’ Rolex Daytona
The moment Jannik Sinner raised his first Wimbledon trophy on Sunday, his second victory radiated from his wrist – the Rolex ‘Sundust’ Cosmograph Daytona (Ref. 126515LN). The 23-year-old tennis superstar who defeated his biggest rival, Carlos Alcaraz, in four sets to claim the men’s singles winning Trophy, proudly showed off his winning Cosmograph Daytona on Centre Court after the match.
It was a great fortnight of tennis on the grass courts with a blistering final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Both players made the Rolex Daytona their watch of choice, with Alcaraz, the 22-year-old Spaniard, opting for the spectacular Rolex Daytona Ref. 126518LN in yellow gold with the blue turquoise dial.
On the courts of Wimbledon 2025..
The starting week of Wimbledon 2025 was quite tumultuous with a whirlwind of stunning runs, shocks and big-name rivalries. Due to this, the tournament lost many big names associated with famous watch brands, such as Alexander Zverev (Jacob & Co.) and Zheng Qinwen (Rolex), on the men’s side. It was a crazy ride. However, Sinner proved to be a stout force.
On the other hand, Alcaraz had a tough time defeating Italy’s Fabio Fognini, one of the most remarkable characters of the game. But after the Italian announced his retirement not long after, Alcaraz displayed an impressive form. In his fourth round, Alcaraz faced Taylor Fritz, a fellow Rolex ambassador, who wore his trusted two-tone Daytona with a white dial at Wimbledon.
With three Rolex watches in the semi-finals and Novak Djokovic (Hublot ambassador) as the fourth player, it was expected to see one Rolex Daytona in the finals. Following a dramatic close at the semi-finals, the two best players in the world had a face-off for the Grand Slam final, and it finally ended with a first Wimbledon title for Jannik Sinner.
Sinner takes the Trophy wearing a Rolex ‘Sundust’ Daytona
After his epic win, Sinner took a moment to grab his tennis bag quickly and put his signature Daytona on the wrist before lifting the Trophy.
Strapped on his wrist was the 40mm Everose gold Daytona model (Ref. 126515LN) with the “Sundust” dial – a model that could easily be defined as the wristwear for champions.
The champagne-pink tone transitions from warm rose to silvery blush with the shift in light. It features a contrasting black hue on the three sub-dials, the Cerachrom bezel with a tachymeter scale, and the Oysterflex strap. Powered by Rolex’s in-house Calibre 4131, providing 72 hours of power reserve, Sinner’s particular model is engineered for endurance.
Released in 2023, this particular Daytona masterfully blends sporty design aesthetics with horological refinement.
The tennis star became a Rolex ambassador in 2020 and has since faithfully represented the Crown.
Runner-up Alcaraz still shines with his ‘Tiffany’ Rolex Daytona
Carlos Alcaraz, who didn’t take the Trophy, definitely won in the wrist game as he stole glances with his striking Daytona after the final match. The Spaniard often dons Daytona models to celebrate post-match, like the Ref. 116518LN-0076 after his two Wimbledon successes and French Open victory in 2024, and the Ref. 116500LN in 2022 while accepting the U.S. Open trophy.
This year, accompanying him was the Rolex Daytona Ref. 126518LN. This newly released Rolex at Watches and Wonders 2025 is characterised by an 18ct yellow gold case with a striking blue lacquer dial featuring black sub-dials.
Measuring 40mm, this Daytona features classic elements, including a high-contrast black Cerachrom bezel with the brand’s engraved tachymeter scale. Rolex accentuates the ‘Tiffany’ blue dial hue with contrasting black and gold accents, delivering a luxurious visual impact.
Like all current Daytona models, it is powered by the brand’s in-house 4131 Calibre, which provides a 72-hour power reserve.
Non-players who aced the wrist game at the Wimbledon Finals
Without any hint of doubt, Wimbledon 2025 unfolded more than just tennis. It was a visual treat for watch connoisseurs with all the wrist candies spotted on and off the grass court.
Some of the top luxury watches at Wimbledon 2025 were worn by Leonardo Di Caprio, showcasing Rolex’s latest Land-Dweller Ref. 127334, Tom Holland who wore a discontinued platinum Rolex Daytona set with diamonds, Chris Hemsworth who turned all blingy with his Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, Andrew Garfield with a vintage-inspired Omega De Ville Trésor, Eddie Redmayne with his favourite Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Shades and Russell Crowe who wore the same ‘Tiffany’ Daytona as Alcaraz.
As it appears, Rolex was the watch of choice not only for the players but also for Wimbledon’s most celebrated spectators.
Lastly..
This year’s Wimbledon tournament had a perfect Rollie ending, underscoring Rolex’s dominance in the world of tennis. Originally built for motorsport, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona has evolved to become synonymous with prestige and precision. Today, it’s a mainstay in the world of stardom and elite sport.
Jannik Sinner’s victory with his elegant Daytona truly sealed the moment for the brand. His Daytona is effortlessly premium and technically brilliant - just like his game.
Well, it was a fantastic wrap to two great weeks of tennis, leaving us anticipating what will come next year!
