Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz Watches: Two Rolex Testimonees, Two Daytonas

Two of the leading men in tennis wear the same watch family. Jannik Sinner is reported wearing an Everose gold Rolex Daytona, ref. 126515LN , with a pink Sundust dial, for both of his Wimbledon wins, the second on July 12, 2026. Carlos Alcaraz is reported wearing a yellow gold Daytona, ref. 126518LN , with a turquoise dial, from his 2025 French Open win. Both are Rolex Testimonees. This guide separates what outlets have seen on their wrists from what is only a market comparable, and corrects one popular claim about an auction lot.

Who wears what: quick reference

Jannik Sinner (Rolex Testimonee since 2020)

Sinner beat Alexander Zverev in the 2026 Wimbledon final on July 12, 2026, 6-7, 7-6, 6-3, 6-4, to defend his title. Haute Time, Elite Traveler, WatchTime and Gear Patrol all report the same watch on his wrist afterwards. Haute Time also reports the same reference for his 2025 final win over Alcaraz. Haute Time and Elite Traveler describe him as a Rolex family member or ambassador since 2020; we could not open Rolex's own page to check.

Prices conflict. Haute Time called the watch worth about $47,000 in July 2025, a valuation rather than a list price, and We-Wealth gave 40,000 to 55,000 euros in April 2026. Rolex raised its list prices by about 7% on January 1, 2026, with gold models rising most (our own report on the increases), and we found no official Rolex list price for the 126515LN, so check with an authorised dealer. A scout note and a search summary mention a Submariner Date for Sinner, which we could not open and which conflicts with the Daytona coverage, so we do not claim it.

Carlos Alcaraz (Rolex Testimonee, reportedly since 2022)

Alcaraz's watch history is better dated than Sinner's because of his earlier wins. Tatler Asia reports a steel Daytona at the 2022 US Open, a yellow gold meteorite-dial Daytona from 2023 and a Day-Date at the 2024 French Open and Olympics. From the 2025 Roland-Garros final he is reported with the turquoise-dial yellow gold Daytona that trade outlets and Phillips now call the “Alcaraz”. Rolex's own page named 2022 for his Testimonee start in a search summary, but the page returned an error when we fetched it, so treat the year as unverified.

Three claims we do not rely on. Coronet says Rolex gave him the turquoise Daytona and had it engraved for his Roland-Garros win, which no other source we read repeats. Boss Hunting (September 4, 2026) says he wore a yellow gold “Le Mans” Daytona at the 2026 US Open with a price of about A$313,000 and no reference, which does not match anything else we found. And Pro Football Network (July 19, 2026) says he wore a “Rainbow Daytona” worth about $500,000 to the World Cup final, resting on fan posts, with a lead photo from the Miami Open in March 2026. All three are uncertain.

The Phillips “Alcaraz” lot (a market comparable, not his watch)

Phillips sold a turquoise-dial yellow gold Daytona in June 2026 under the name “Alcaraz”. Some coverage treats it as the watch he wore after his French Open win. The lot page does not say that. It says only that the model was spotted on his wrist, and it lists a Rolex guarantee card dated December 20, 2025, six months after the June 2025 final, so it cannot be the watch he wore on that day.

Wristcheck (July 2026) says the result was about two and a half times list but gives no list figure. A Sotheby's Hong Kong buy-now listing also uses the “Alcaraz” name, shows no price and makes no claim about ownership or Rolex's role, so “Alcaraz” is a trade nickname, not a Rolex edition. Treat the $107,950 as evidence of what the model fetches, not of what his own watch is worth.

Context: why the Daytona, and how to read tennis watch coverage

Testimonee, not owner-verified. Rolex calls its athletes Testimonees. The watches in event photos are what outlets identify; neither player nor Rolex has told us which watch is his own purchase and which is supplied. We found no tribute, limited edition or campaign piece tied to either player and keep the worn watches above separate from the lot.

Two golds, one family. Sinner's Everose Sundust watch is the pink-gold 126515LN. Alcaraz's turquoise watch is the yellow gold 126518LN. Both are 40 mm Oysterflex Daytonas with a black Cerachrom bezel. For the model's history see our Rolex Daytona page and the Rolex brand history, and for how the Daytona compares with its closest rival, our Speedmaster Professional vs Daytona comparison.

The Federer comparison. Roger Federer's tennis watches are far more varied, from a Datejust to a Sky-Dweller. See our Roger Federer watches guide. For recent sale prices see our October 2026 auction results, and for other wearers the famous people watches hub.

Myths and mix-ups, corrected

• “Alcaraz's watch sold at Phillips for $107,950.” The lot is a 2025 watch with a guarantee card dated December 20, 2025. The Phillips essay says only that the model was spotted on Alcaraz.
• “Alcaraz wore a $500,000 Rainbow Daytona to the World Cup final.” The claim rests on fan posts and an outlet's own estimate, and the lead photo is from another event. We found no primary confirmation.
• “Sinner wears a Submariner.” A June 2026 item and a search summary say so, but the Wimbledon coverage we read names only the Daytona. We could not verify it.
• “The ‘Alcaraz’ Daytona is a Rolex edition.” It is a trade nickname for the turquoise-dial 126518LN. We found no Rolex statement making it an edition.
