What watch does Jannik Sinner wear?
As he regained the world No. 1 ranking after defeating Carlos Alcaraz at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters on Sunday, April 12, 2026, Jannik Sinner was wearing his Rolex Cosmograph Daytona. Rolex was also the watch on his wrist when he lifted the historic Wimbledon trophy on July 13, 2025; Jannik Sinner was wearing his Rolex Cosmograph Daytona. It was the same watch he wore as he raised the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup at the Australian Open, and the same one he chose for his return in Rome after a three-month forced hiatus.
Sinner’s Rolex: Not Just Any Watch—The Specific Model
So, it’s a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, but not just any model with an Oysterflex bracelet. Jannik Sinner’s watch is a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Everose Ref. 126515LN. The brand is, after all, one of the sponsors of the world’s top tennis player, and it certainly didn’t disappoint for the occasion.
The period of the bitter (and, for most, unfair) suspension that kept him off the official courts for three months is fortunately over, and the Rolex Daytona Oysterflex ref. 126518LN (in the yellow gold version) is back on the wrist of the champion from San Candido.

This timepiece is, in fact, the perfect embodiment of the style and determination that underpin the performance of the champion from San Candido. “Rosa per sempre” and “polvere di Sole” are two of the watch’s striking features. The Daytona ref. 126515LN features a 40mm case in Everose gold. This is an exclusive alloy from Rolex, specifically 18k rose gold. It has the unique ability to maintain its warm hue over time. The dial, on the other hand, is Sundust: it features a delicate champagne hue with contrasting black sub-dials. It is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, while the bezel is made of black Cerachrom ceramic. The tachymeter scale is engraved, highlighting the watch’s connection to the world of racing. Additionally, it guarantees water resistance up to a depth of 100 meters.
A Class of Its Own
Among the model’s distinctive features is the “Oysterflex” bracelet. An unmistakable style element, but not only that: it combines a flexible metal core with high-performance elastomer. Its design ensures durability, comfort, and a secure fit, without sacrificing the sporty aesthetic characteristic of the Daytona. The bracelet is also equipped with a rose gold “Oysterlock” safety clasp and the “Easylink” length adjustment system.
Powering the Daytona 126515LN is the caliber 4131 movement. Enthusiasts and collectors know it is a masterpiece of mechanical engineering. This self-winding chronograph movement offers a 72-hour power reserve and incorporates Rolex’s latest technical innovations, such as “Paraflex” shock absorbers and the “Parachrom” hairspring, which enable the timepiece to withstand temperature fluctuations and magnetic fields. Finally, the Caliber 4131 guarantees extraordinary precision, with a rate deviation of -2/+2 seconds per day. The movement is encased, ensuring reliability described as “unparalleled.”
Even earlier, in September 2024, upon winning his first US Open, Jannik Sinner had sported a GMT-Master II in Oystersteel and Everose gold, Ref. 126711CHNR. A model known in the industry as the Root Beer. The curious name (“root beer”) comes from the two-tone black and brown bezel, which evokes a non-alcoholic beverage flavored with sassafras and sarsaparilla, very common in the United States and Canada during the 1960s. The dial of this watch is black, featuring large hands and simple hour markers (a triangle at 12 o’clock, small circles, and rectangles) that are easy to read. The crown is the traditional Rolex rose gold model.
How much do Jannik Sinner’s watches cost?
The GMT-Master II Oystersteel and Everose Ref. 126711CHNR currently (spring 2026) retails for around 19,400 euros. In addition to its design, high-quality craftsmanship, and functionality, the name of its most famous owner contributes to its price. The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Everose Ref. 126515LN mentioned at the beginning, on the other hand, ranges between 40,000 and 55,000 euros. But, as every collector knows, the problem isn’t so much the price of the watch as the long waiting lists one must join just to get one. Or try the secondary market—the auction market. But that’s another story.
