Watches

Patek Philippe Calatrava

Worn by Ryan Gosling as The Driver. Real-adjacent source design: the fictional prop is based on a Patek Philippe Calatrava-style dress watch, but has an oversized luminous small-seconds dial and other non-production details. It is not an exact Patek reference. Prop master Will Blount said five or six replicas were made; the prominent ticking was added by Foley artists. (GQ) Montres de Luxe instead names the prop an exact Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 5196G in white gold, without noting the custom dial and case departures the prop master described.

Michael Kors MK1839

Worn by Bryan Cranston as Shannon. Shannon wears a blacked-out fashion chronograph, and the casting of it is exact: a limping garage owner in hock to the mob, wearing the watch of a man who wants to look like he is doing better than he is. Premiere Props sold the screen-worn example in December 2011, acquired from the production company, identifying it as a Michael Kors MK1839 and placing it in the scene where Shannon talks to Driver on the film-set stunt sequence. That reference appears in no Michael Kors catalogue, and the closely similar 45 mm MK8139 does, so the number rests on the auction record alone. (Premiere Props)
