The "Top Secret" movie Rolex

One of my childhood favorite flicks is a one of Val Kilmer's early films, the comedy TOP SECRET from 1984. There is a brief shot of a vintage Oyster Perpetual with Arabic numbers and a smooth bezel. Does anyone know what reference number it would be and approximately what year?

Thanks

Can't help with the reference number, but the guy wearing it is Jim Carter, who now plays the butler in Downton Abbey. Used to drink with him years ago, around the time Top Secret was made.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that an oversized prop not a real watch?

The first shot was a close-up on a real Rolex, before the gag shot of him wearing the over-sized prop...click the link I provided

He is the butler? Never would have guessed that one.
