You may want to agree with it or not, but Wimbledon is far more than just a game. Debatable as it may seem, but who takes the royal box and how they flex their quiet luxury never goes unnoticed nor off-script. At this tournament, tradition isn't just followed, it's flaunted. Sticking to the dress code is a must; elevating it with intention is where the real art lies.advertisementThis year, elegance hit Centre Court the moment the Princess of Wales made her entrance. Dressed in a bespoke blue midi and wearing her signature Cartier Ballon Bleu, Kate Middleton proved once again that timeless style is always in season.

But she wasn't the only one turning heads. On either side of her were two men who had just battled through four gripping sets, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, each sporting their own wrist game as sharp as their serves.
One left with his first Wimbledon title, the other with the runner-up shield. But both made it clear: in modern tennis, the scoreboard isn't the only thing worth watching.Jannik Sinner

Jannik Sinner made history as the first Italian man to ever win the Wimbledon men's singles title in the tournament's 148-year run, defeating two-time defending champ Carlos Alcaraz. With the Princess of Wales handing over the winner's trophy, the moment couldn't have been more iconic.Adding to his winner's glow? Sinner was spotted wearing a Rolex Daytona during the felicitation. The Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona in 18k Everose gold came with a sundust and bright black dial, a sleek Oysterflex bracelet, and a bold black Cerachrom bezel featuring a tachymetric scale.The bracelet is built with two flexible metal blades wrapped in high-performance black elastomer, designed for comfort with inner cushion panels and an Oysterlock safety clasp. The style is apt for winners, we say!Market price: Rs 36,04,308

Alcaraz might not have lifted the winner's trophy, but he sure did steal many hearts. After a fiercely contested four-set final against Jannik Sinner, Alcaraz congratulated his rival warmly during his runner-up speech, praising his exceptional game and the support system behind him. That speech did leave his fans in awe.Kate Middleton honoured him with the runner-up plate, and that's when we spotted Alcaraz subtly flexing a Rolex Daytona 'Tiffany' in 18k yellow gold, complete with a striking turquoise dial.No denying that the turquoise dial makes a bold statement. The colour brings to mind Rolex's past releases, like the Oyster Perpetual from 2020, the Everose-gold Sky-Dweller from 2023 (albeit in a deeper tone), and of course, the iconic platinum Daytona with the ice blue dial.Market Price: 1,02,98,024
