Carlos Alcaraz has not only captivated tennis fans with his impressive performances, resulting in four Grand Slam victories at a remarkably young age, but he has also caught the eye of fashion enthusiasts with his taste in luxury timepieces. Recently, during a press conference ahead of the 2024 Olympics, Alcaraz was seen sporting a stunning golden Rolex, which quickly became a viral sensation.
Alcaraz’s choice of wristwear, a Rolex Gold Day-Date President Watch, is believed to be a symbol of his aspirations for a gold medal in Paris. The 21-year-old Spaniard looked exceptionally stylish with the 40mm watch featuring an 18-karat yellow gold case. This particular model, with its fluted bezel, is valued at around $45,000 in the market. However, with a diamond bezel, the price can soar to $75,000, according to various resellers.
This Gold Day-Date is a notable departure from Alcaraz’s usual preference for the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, which he frequently wears.
Alcaraz’s Favorite: The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona
As a Rolex ambassador, Carlos Alcaraz has showcased numerous watches from the esteemed Swiss brand. Despite his recent appearance with the Gold Day-Date, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona remains his favorite. This now-discontinued model features an 18-karat yellow gold case, a black Cerachrom bezel, and a meteorite dial.
Alcaraz has worn the Daytona during significant moments in his career, including his last three Grand Slam wins: Wimbledon 2023, the French Open 2024, and Wimbledon 2024. The Daytona retails for $36,750 but can resell for as much as $90,000, according to Insane Luxury Life. Similar to the Day-Date, the Daytona is available through multiple resellers such as Luxury Watches USA and Jaztime in the USA.
Alcaraz continues to impress both on and off the court, with his impeccable taste in watches reflecting his ambitions and achievements.
