About Anthony Pettis’s watch collection
Anthony Pettis is a professional mixed martial artist from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, best known for his tenure in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, where he held the UFC Lightweight Championship. A lifelong martial artist who trained under Duke Roufus, Pettis built his name on a distinctive blend of Muay Thai striking, dynamic kicking technique, and creative offense that set him apart from his peers. He rose to mainstream attention at WEC 53 in 2010, when he ran up the cage wall and landed a kick on Benson Henderson in the closing seconds of their title fight — a sequence that became one of the most replayed moments in combat sports history. He went on to capture the UFC Lightweight title in 2013 and has since competed across multiple weight classes, earning a reputation as one of the more technically inventive fighters of his generation.
The Anthony Pettis watch collection, based on our sightings, points toward a preference for technically complex, high-end Rolex references rather than the brand's more common sport models. Pettis has been spotted wearing the Rolex Sky-Dweller in 18k white gold with an ivory dial, reference 326939 — a piece that sits at the upper end of Rolex's catalogue in both price and mechanical complexity. The Sky-Dweller houses the in-house Calibre 9001, a 39-jewel automatic movement offering a 72-hour power reserve and a dual complication layout that combines an annual calendar with a GMT function, displayed via Rolex's proprietary Saros system using the fluted bezel as a functional interface.
Choosing the Sky-Dweller over something like a Submariner or Daytona says something about where Pettis's taste sits. The reference 326939 in white gold is a less obvious pick — it reads more as a considered purchase than a reflexive reach for the most recognizable model in the lineup. For a fighter known for doing things differently inside the cage, it tracks.
