Tristan Séguéla and Olivier Demangel's fictionalized biopic of Bernard Tapie, released on Netflix on 13 September 2023 and internationally titled Class Act. Laurent Lafitte plays Tapie across seven episodes tracing his rise from a working-class Paris suburb through business, singing, professional cycling team ownership, Olympique de Marseille, and a cabinet post, to the match-fixing scandal and Adidas fraud conviction that ended his political career. Joséphine Japy and Sylvain Jouret co-star; the performance earned Lafitte an International Emmy nomination for Best Actor. (IMDb, Wikipedia)
Watches
- Breitling Chronomat
- Worn by Laurent Lafitte as Bernard Tapie. Montres de Luxe identifies a yellow-gold Breitling Chronomat on a leather strap on Tapie's wrist, calling it a fitting choice since the chronograph was, in the era the series depicts, an absolute "must" and a genuine symbol of professional success; the source names no specific reference. The same article mentions, without a scene description for either, that Lafitte's Tapie also wears a two-tone Rolex GMT-Master and a gold Cartier Tank elsewhere in the series; the real Bernard Tapie was frequently photographed wearing Rolex and Cartier watches.
