Roman Polanski directed Frantic (1988) as a Hitchcockian thriller about an American surgeon, Dr. Richard Walker, whose wife vanishes from their Paris hotel room while he is in the shower, sending him into the city's underworld to find her.
On Walker's wrist is a steel Rolex Datejust with a Buckley dial, its Roman numerals printed onto the dial rather than applied, on the five-link Jubilee bracelet. It is the watch Harrison Ford was known to wear off duty in this period, which is part of why it suits the character so well: understated, professional, the watch of a man who chose it once and stopped thinking about it.
