Renny Harlin's Die Hard 2 brings in Franco Nero as General Ramon Esperanza, the deposed Latin American dictator being flown to the United States for trial whom Colonel Stuart's mercenaries seize Dulles airport to free. The film gives his cuffed wrists a tight close-up, and the watch reads clearly there.

It is a two-tone Rolex, a gold and steel case with a gold fluted bezel, a champagne dial and a Jubilee-style bracelet, the combination that points to a Datejust rather than the plain Oyster Perpetual a crowdsourced Spotern entry guessed at. The brand is unmistakable in the frame, while the exact model and reference are read from the fluted bezel and two-tone bracelet rather than from any markings, so the Datejust call is a strong best guess. If you can pin the precise reference, add it in the comments.
