Al Pacino wears a Rolex Cellini Prince

At his desk, half-glasses low on his nose and a bright paisley tie at his collar, Willy Bank lays a flat hand on the table, the gold watch and gold cufflink catching the light. In Steven Soderbergh's 2007 Ocean's Thirteen, Al Pacino plays Bank, the Las Vegas casino owner who double-crosses Reuben Tishkoff and pushes him into a heart attack, the betrayal that sets Danny Ocean's crew on an elaborate revenge. His watch is the formal kind: a Rolex Cellini Prince in 18-karat yellow gold on a brown leather strap, rectangular and dressy, nothing like the dive watches and chronographs most people picture when they hear the name Rolex.

The Prince is one of the brand's oldest designs. Rolex introduced it in 1928 as a rectangular Art Deco watch with a divided dial, the hours up top and a large separate seconds register below, and that layout made it popular with doctors, who could read a patient's pulse off the wide lower dial without turning the wrist. Rolex brought the line back as the Cellini Prince in 2005, two years before the film, and reference 5440/8 is the version on Bank's wrist: a stepped yellow-gold case, a champagne clou de Paris dial with Roman numerals and baton indexes, and that same small seconds register low on the dial.
