Watches

Cartier Santos Galbée

Worn by Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko. BAMF Style identifies Gekko's watch as an 18-karat yellow gold Cartier Santos de Cartier Galbée with a white square dial on a gold bracelet. Montres de Luxe corroborates the Cartier Santos identification, describing it as gold. (BAMF Style; Montres de Luxe)

Lorus (unidentified model)

Worn by Charlie Sheen as Bud Fox. Early in the film, while Fox is still a junior broker idolizing Gekko from a distance, Deployant identifies his watch as a gold quartz dress watch with a white face and Roman numerals from Lorus; the source names no reference. (Deployant)

Cartier Panthere de Cartier

Worn by Charlie Sheen as Bud Fox. As Fox grows prosperous under Gekko's tutelage, Deployant describes him trading the Lorus for "a gold Cartier just like his mentor," but choosing a Panthère rather than Gekko's Santos "most likely to differentiate himself slightly." This is a period gold Panthère de Cartier from the 1980s, distinct from the watch cataloged on this page's 2024-reissue infobox; the source gives no reference, so the identification here is at the model level only. The source is explicit that this is a different watch from Gekko's Cartier Santos: Fox deliberately picks a different Cartier model than his mentor wears. Montres de Luxe corroborates the gold Cartier Panthère identification on Fox. (Deployant; Montres de Luxe)
