The Short Answer

Today's edition is a look back at the watch that the late, great James Gandolfini wore during his iconic turn as Tony Soprano...

Last month the world lost the inimitable James Gandolfini. Long before Game of Thrones or Homeland, Gandolfini ushered in a new era of powerhouse small-screen performances with his lead role in HBO’s mob opera The Sopranos. As mafia boss Tony Soprano, Gandolfini became perhaps the most beloved anti-hero ever, swaggering with gravitas across the badlands of New Jersey. In honor of Gandolfini’s legacy, today we’re looking back at the Rolex Day-Date President timepiece that became Tony Soprano’s trademark.
