The five-set thriller broke the record for the latest finish ever at Flushing Meadows, with the match only ending at 3.34am local time on Wednesday.
Signed as a Rolex Testimonee in 2022 at just 19 years old, the Spanish phenom has followed in the footsteps of Roger Federer, turning major trophy presentations into masterclasses in showcasing his luxury watch collection.
After claiming his maiden Grand Slam title at the 2022 US Open, Carlos Alcaraz hoisted the trophy wearing a classic stainless-steel Rolex Daytona with a black dial.
Alcaraz’s collection is anchored by the iconic Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, a model deeply tied to his biggest career milestones.
When he claimed his maiden Grand Slam title at the 2022 US Open, he hoisted the trophy wearing a classic stainless-steel Daytona with a black dial (worth approximately R460,000).
By the time he conquered Wimbledon in 2023, his wristwear had evolved alongside his championship resume.
Celebrating his five-set epic over Novak Djokovic, Alcaraz strapped on an 18k yellow-gold Daytona featuring a rare meteorite dial and an Oysterflex strap (valued at around R1.6 million), a reference rendered even more exclusive following Rolex’s decision to discontinue meteorite options for the Daytona range.
He continued this trend of statement Daytonas during his title runs, notably sporting the yellow-gold Daytona with a vibrant turquoise lacquered dial (worth roughly R1.8 million).
Away from the court, he has been spotted in the 42mm Yacht-Master in RLX Titanium (valued at approximately R440,000). Constructed from Grade 5 titanium, the ultra-lightweight timepiece reflects a sportier, technical edge.
As his trophy cabinet continues to expand, his collection promises to remain one of the most closely watched in modern sport.
