As the clay settled and the champagne flowed at Roland Garros 2025, all eyes weren’t just on the scoreboards. From locker rooms to luxury boxes, this year’s tournament delivered a parade of horological heavy-hitters. Whether it was Carlos Alcaraz’s hyped Daytona or Pharrell’s ₹5-crore Richard Mille, the watches on display were as headline-worthy as the tennis. Here’s a closer look at the most striking timepieces spotted on and off the court—because in Paris, even your wrist needs to serve:
Carlos Alcaraz
A trophy in one hand, and another on his wrist. The yellow gold Daytona with the hyped-up new turquoise dial is a collector’s darling and a Gen-Z icon’s flex.
Jannik Sinner
Fresh off his No.1 ranking debut, Sinner flexed a subtle power move with this Everose gold Daytona on Oysterflex, mirroring Alcaraz's watch. It’s a stealth-luxe piece—a choice that speaks less of flash, more of quiet dominance.
Coco Gauff
Coco’s choice is pure personality: a candy-coloured grape dial on the classic OP36. Sporty, youthful, but backed by serious pedigree—much like the champion herself. Market Est.: ₹6.5 Lakh+
Iga Świątek
Świątek traded her baseline grind for a refined dress watch, repping Rolex’s new-age classic: the 1908 in yellow gold. Understated, but rich in heritage—and very fitting for this year's title defender. Market Est.: ₹22.1 Lakh+
Alexander Zverev
Because a basic time-only simply won’t cut it when you’re holding the UEFA Champions League Trophy. Zverev’s wrist candy doubles as a literal roulette table, powered by a flying tourbillon. Zero subtlety. Max impact. Market Est.: ₹2.8 Crore+
Aryna Sabalenka
Sabalenka went full wrist royalty with the turquoise-dial Royal Oak in yellow gold; an unapologetic grail with cult demand and impossible waitlists. Market Est.: ₹1.1 Crore+
Tommy Paul
The most underrated wrist in the stadium? Easily Tommy Paul’s. De Bethune’s skeletonised DB28 is independent watchmaking at its finest, with space-age design, outrageous finishing, and major insider cred. Market Est.: ₹85 Lakh+
George Russell
Classy fit, classier watch. Mercedes-AMG’s lead F1 driver paired a soft linen suit with IWC’s clean Portugieser Automatic. Silver dial, gold indices, leather strap—a timeless pairing. Market Est.: ₹12.1 Lakh+
Pharrell Williams
Trust Pharrell to drop jaws courtside. His RM 74-02, in red gold and Carbon TPT, is part skeletonised spaceship, part high-jewellery showpiece. It’s haute horlogerie with celebrity clout. Market Est.: ₹5.1 Crore+
Taylor Zakhar Perez
In a sea of metal and rubber straps, Taylor’s all-black Cartier Santos stood out for its sleek monotone vibe; a great pairing for his low-key Lacoste fit. The ADLC finish gives it edge, while keeping things unmistakably French. Market Est.: ₹8.8 Lakh+
