File:A Cop (1972) - Cartier Tank scene.jpg

Summary

Description: Behind-the-scenes photograph taken on the set of Un Flic (1972). Alain Delon (foreground, sharp focus) and director Jean-Pierre Melville (background, wearing his signature hat and glasses) hold their fists together to compare their matching curved Cartier Tank watches ("Tank Arrondie"). Delon's watch, on the upper wrist closest to camera, shows a clearly resolved rectangular curved case, cream dial with painted numerals, and black leather strap. Melville's watch is partly visible on the lower wrist. This is the specific documented photograph referenced in the page's notes field.
