A henchman's TAG Heuer 2000 watch from Renny Harlin's Die Hard 2. Colonel William Stuart's (William Sadler) henchmen all wore the same watch and synchronized them to time their attack on the Dulles International Airport.
Originating from the collection of prop master Mike Papac, this real-world metal TAG Heuer 2000 Professional series 273.306/1 model watch features a date dial and a Tachymeter to measure speed and rate along the watch's face. This watch is not currently functional due to a dead battery, and exhibits scuffing to the band as well as minor grime to the face.
Contains mechanical components; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.
Estimate: $1,500 - 3,000
Mike Papac is among Hollywood's most respected armourers. Active in the film industry since the late 1970s, he served as weapons specialist on action classics including Lethal Weapon and Die Hard, and as property gun master for Predator - all within an 18-month span. By the early 1990s, Papac had become a trusted resource for leading directors such as Tony Scott, Renny Harlin, and Richard Donner, collaborating throughout the decade with stars including Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger. His career has encompassed work as prop master and armourer on some of cinema's most successful franchises, from Iron Man and Man of Steel to acclaimed action comedies like Three Kings and Red. Original hero pieces from the Die Hard films are exceptionally rare, and Propstore is proud to present these examples from Mike Papac's personal collection - offered to the public for the first time.
