Comme un boomerang (1976)

Comme un boomerang

A reformed gangster turns to his old criminal associates for help after his son kills a police officer. (IMDb) José Giovanni directs and co-wrote the script with Alain Delon, who also stars as ex-convict Jacques Batkin opposite Carla Gravina as his wife Muriel and Charles Vanel as police inspector Jean Ritter; the French-Italian crime drama premiered in France on 17 August 1976 (released abroad as Boomerang) and drew nearly 800,000 admissions there.

Watches

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak

Worn by Alain Delon as Jacques Batkin. Delon wears this steel Royal Oak Jumbo from his own collection, not a costume-department loan, playing Batkin. (Revolution Watch) The same personal piece reappears in Parole de flic and again in Ne réveillez pas un flic qui dort twelve years later. Cornette de Saint-Cyr auctioned it from Delon's collection in April 2012 for a record €68,750 against a €2,500-3,000 estimate; the example lacks the AP-logo dial variant that later Jumbos carry. (Monochrome, Haute Time) Montres de Luxe independently identifies the same steel Royal Oak Jumbo, placing it on screen in an office scene with Charles Vanel just before Batkin learns of his son's suicide attempt.
