Jannik Sinner emerged victorious at Wimbledon, clutching the Gentleman’s Singles trophy despite a rocky start. The 24-year-old Italian began the match against Alexander Zverev on a tough note, losing the first set in a tiebreak. However, he rebounded strongly in the second, ultimately seizing the championship.
This victory represents Sinner’s second consecutive title at Wimbledon, as he previously triumphed over Carlos Alcaraz on the same court last summer. The match captivated fans with Sinner’s powerful serves, but it was his choice of timepiece during the trophy ceremony that particularly caught the eye.
During the presentation on Sunday, Sinner sported a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, the 40mm Everose gold variant with the “Sundust” dial (ref. 126515LN), priced at £37,450 (around $50,163). Remarkably, this was also the watch he wore when he won the championship in 2025, making it a significant symbol of his journey as a young athlete.
Sinner’s affiliation with Rolex dates back to 2020 when he became one of their ambassadors, joining a prominent group of athletes and artists. This specific model, however, stands out. Its champagne-pink dial employs intricate brushing techniques, transforming from a warm rose to a metallic blush in sunlight.
What was once exclusive to the Datejust line has now become part of the Daytona collection. It features Rolex’s calibre 4131, offering a 72-hour power reserve and a monobloc Cerachrom bezel—attributes well-suited for the grueling demands of a three-hour and 46-minute match.
This Daytona, while inherently a sports watch, doubles as a fashion statement. Its debut coincided with another fashionable appearance at Wimbledon, where Naomi Osaka showcased a kimono-inspired outfit crafted by Tokyo designer Hana Jagi.
Beyond his watch endorsements, Sinner also represents Gucci, where he expresses his Italian style off the court. As Sinner continues to build his legacy, it remains to be seen whether future Grand Slam victories will bring even rarer or unexpected timepieces. For now, his Everose gold Rolex Daytona has already secured a place in Wimbledon history.
