Roger Murtaugh's (Danny Glover) Timex quartz watch from Richard Donner's Lethal Weapon. LAPD Sergeant Murtaugh wore his signature watch on his left wrist throughout the film as he investigated Shadow Company's drug smuggling operation with his volatile new partner, Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson).

Upon its release, Lethal Weapon became one of the highest-grossing films of 1987 and was later nominated for an Academy Award®. Its success inspired a multi-installment film and television franchise and established Glover as a major star in American cinema for his role as the uptight, seasoned Murtaugh.

Originating from the personal collection of weapon specialist Mike Papac, this real-world vintage classic gold Timex quartz watch features a glass (crystal) cover and a gold-plated president bracelet. This style Timex, compared to Riggs' modern Tag Heuer Formula 1 sports watch, symbolized the narrative of Murtaugh's older character working alongside the younger character Riggs. Due to a dead battery, its hour and minute hands are stopped at 11:26. The watch exhibits minor scratching to its cover and bracelet from production wear.

Contains electronic and mechanical components; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: $2,500 - 5,000

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.
