Louis Jourdan plays Kamal Khan in Octopussy (1983), an exiled Afghan prince running a smuggling operation out of the Monsoon Palace in Udaipur, in league with a rogue Soviet general, Orlov (Steven Berkoff). Roger Moore is Bond in his penultimate outing as 007, Maud Adams is the title character, Kabir Bedi is Khan's enforcer Gobinda, and John Glen directed.

On Khan's wrist, visible in the hunt and palace scenes, is a gold watch on a gold bracelet, identified as a Rolex King Midas. Gérald Genta designed the King Midas for Rolex in the mid-1960s, an all-gold watch with an asymmetric five-sided case unlike anything else the brand has made, named for the mythical king of the golden touch. It was later folded into Rolex's Cellini line of dress watches.
