About Tom Pearce’s watch collection
Tom Pearce is a British actor and television personality best known for his time on The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE), the long-running ITVBe reality series that launched the careers of numerous UK celebrities. Pearce appeared on the show during its earlier seasons and used the platform to build a public profile that extended well beyond reality television. Since his TOWIE days, he has worked as an actor, model, and brand ambassador, maintaining a consistent presence in British celebrity culture and the kind of social circuit — beach clubs, London events, press appearances — where watches tend to get noticed.
The Tom Pearce watch collection, based on sightings logged here at Watch Paparazzi, currently centres on Rolex, and not at the entry point of the catalogue. Pearce has been spotted wearing the Rolex Sky-Dweller reference 326938, an all-yellow-gold configuration that makes clear this is a considered purchase rather than a casual one. The Sky-Dweller sits near the top of Rolex's civilian lineup in terms of both price and mechanical complexity, housing the in-house Calibre 9001 — a 9Hz movement with a bidirectional self-winding rotor, 72-hour power reserve, and an annual calendar complication managed through the rotating bezel. It is one of the more technically demanding movements Rolex produces.
Choosing the Sky-Dweller in full yellow gold rather than a steel or two-tone variant puts Pearce firmly in the camp of collectors who lean into visibility. The ref. 326938 retails well above the five-figure mark and is the kind of piece that suggests a genuine engagement with what Rolex's upper tier actually offers mechanically, not just aesthetically. For a personality whose public life plays out largely in high-visibility social settings, it is a practical fit — a watch that reads clearly in photographs and holds its own against the surroundings.
