Eddie Murphy wears a Rolex Bubble Back

In The Haunted Mansion (2003), Eddie Murphy plays Jim Evers, a workaholic New Orleans real estate agent who drags his wife and children to what he thinks is a routine listing, a decaying Louisiana estate called Gracey Manor. The house turns out to be haunted, and the quick sale he had planned becomes a long night trapped inside the mansion with its ghosts.

The watch on Murphy's wrist is identified as a Rolex Bubble Back, the nickname collectors gave Rolex's first automatic models built from the 1930s through the 1950s. The name comes from the rounded caseback that had to bulge outward to clear the thick early self-winding movement. The French watch site Montres de Luxe, working with a vintage-watch dealer, narrowed it to a gold reference 3064 on a leather strap with a California dial and guessed it was Eddie Murphy's own watch rather than a studio prop. That account is the only identification on record, and the watch is hard to make out on screen, so the specific reference is a knowledgeable reading rather than a settled fact.
