Spencer Tracy finished filming Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and died seventeen days later. Stanley Kramer directed this 1967 drama about a liberal San Francisco newspaper publisher whose principles get tested when his daughter brings home a Black fiancé, played by Sidney Poitier. Tracy and Katharine Hepburn were paired on screen for the ninth and final time, and Hepburn's tears in the closing scene are widely believed to be real — she knew Tracy was dying.
Tracy's watch is described in the sighting record as a gold dress watch, but it isn't clearly visible in the available still, which shows a close-up of his face. Matt Drayton is the kind of character who would wear something conservative and expensive — a newspaper publisher in 1960s San Francisco with money and strong opinions. The brand hasn't been identified.
