Victoria Ratliff (Parker Posey) is almost always seen with her Rolex in the show.

A similar 18-karat yellow gold version of the watch with a champagne diamond dial is on sale for $36,800 at luxury jewelry and watch retailer Avi&Co.
Like his wife in the show, Timothy Ratliff (Jason Isaacs) also has a penchant for Rolex, always wearing the Rolex Day-Date 40. Introduced in 2015, the style features a 40mm Oyster case crafted from 18-karat yellow gold, Everose gold or platinum. It comes with a fluted bezel and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, as well as Cyclops lens. It's powered by the Rolex Caliber 3255 and boasts a 70-hour power reserve.

Saxon Ratliff (Patrick Schwarzenegger) has worn different watches throughout the season, including the Rolex Milgauss. Launched in 1956, the Milgauss was the first watch to resist magnetic fields up to 1,000 gauss, thanks to its innovative ferromagnetic shield inside the case. The name 'Milgauss' derives from 'mille' (French for thousand) and 'gauss,' a unit of magnetic measurement. Key features include a 40mm Oystersteel case and the striking lightning-bolt-shaped orange seconds hand. A pre-owned model can be found for $8,891.00 at Bloomingdale's.

Frederick Forsyth dies aged 86
Frederick Forsyth has died at the age of 86. A statement released by his literary agent, Curtis Brown, said that he died at home after a brief illness surrounded by his family. The British author, who was one of the youngest ever RAF pilots and a former journalist, published more than 25 books. His novels, which include The Day of the Jackal, have sold over 75 million copies. Mr Forsyth's agent, Jonathan Lloyd, said: 'We mourn the passing of one of the world's greatest thriller writers. 'Only a few weeks ago I sat with him as we watched a new and moving documentary of his life - In My Own Words, to be released later this year on BBC1 – and was reminded of an extraordinary life, well lived.' Mr Lloyd described how the author had used 'his gift for languages in German, French and Russian' to become a foreign correspondent in Biafra. 'Appalled at what he saw and using his experience during a stint as a Secret Service agent, he wrote his first and perhaps most famous novel,' Mr Forsyth's agent continued. The novel, The Day of The Jackal, was published in 1972 and propelled Forsyth to the status of a global bestselling author. It has since been adapted into a film and more recently, a TV series starring Eddie Redmayne. Mr Lloyd said: 'He will be greatly missed by his family, his friends, all of us at Curtis Brown and of course his millions of fans around the world - though his books will of course live on forever.' The acclaimed writer was only 17-years-old when he got into the Royal Air Force and later, when he was a journalist, worked in Paris and East Berlin at the height of the Cold War. He has previously told The Telegraph that he had 'good luck to be able to turn lots of that [experience] into books' but that he had 'no lust to be 90'. He wrote in the newspaper six years ago, when he was aged 80: 'So, unless I go completely crazy, which I don't intend to do, the rest of my days should be comfortable. 'As for the future, I may survive the next decade but I've no lust to be 90. I don't know what I'd do, beyond what I'm doing nowadays, which is getting up in the morning, reading the Telegraph and the Mail and having all my prejudices reconfirmed, brewing up a cup of char and then going down the pub for lunch.' His publisher, Bill Scott-Kerr, wrote: 'Transworld's long relationship with Frederick Forsyth began in 1972 with the Corgi paperback publication of The Day of the Jackal. 'With its never-before-read ice-cool writing, iconic jacket and a protagonist for the ages, The Day of the Jackal was an instant bestseller across the world and immediately propelled Freddie into a globally successful career which would span the next fifty years across books, films and most recently television.' The popular novel remains the first and most enduring of his 16 thrillers and follows a hired assassin who targets the French president Charles de Gaulle. The TV adaptation marked the third to reach the screen, following one fronted by Edward Fox in 1973, and another that Forsyth disowns, with Bruce Willis in 1997. Mr Scott-Kerr continued: 'Having long held The Day of the Jackal as the blueprint of the modern thriller, I was honoured to become his editor for Avenger in 2002 and have remained so ever since. 'Working with Freddie has been one of the great pleasures of my professional life, perhaps never more so when he pulled back the curtain on his eventful life in his autobiography, The Outsider, one of the most entertaining and fascinating nonfiction books you could hope to read.' He added that Forsyth's journalistic background 'brought a rigour and a metronomic efficiency to his working practice and his nose for and understanding of a great story kept his novels both thrillingly contemporary and fresh'. 'It was a joy and an education to watch him at work,' he continued. 'Still read by millions across the world, Freddie's thrillers define the genre and are still the benchmark to which contemporary writers aspire. 'He leaves behind a peerless legacy which will continue to excite and entertain for years to come.' Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

'Largest Princess Diana auction' features frocks, hats and bags
NEWBRIDGE, Ireland (Reuters) - From colourful frocks and hats to handbags and shoes, items belonging to the late Princess Diana go under the hammer this month in what Julien's Auctions says is the largest collection of her fashion to go to auction. The live and online "Princess Diana's Style & A Royal Collection" sale will take place on June 26 at The Peninsula Beverly Hills, offering an array of fashion items Diana wore. "This is the largest Princess Diana auction because we have over 100 items from her amazing life and in mind Diana over 70 of her in 1997 to raise money for her charity," Martin Nolan, executive director and co-founder of Julien's Auctions, told Reuters on Monday. He was speaking at the Museum of Style Icons in Newbridge in Ireland during a pre-sale exhibition. Among the highlights is a 1988 silk floral dress by Bellville Sassoon, dubbed the "caring dress" because Diana wore it several times on hospital visits, with a price estimate of $200,000-$300,000. A cream silk embroidered evening gown Catherine Walker designed for Diana's 1986 Gulf tour has a similar price tag, while a Bruce Oldfield two-piece yellow floral ensemble she wore for Royal Ascot in 1987 is estimated at $100,000-$200,000. Other sale items include a Dior handbag gifted to her by former French first lady Bernadette Chirac in 1995, a sketch of Diana's 1981 wedding dress with tulle fabric cut-offs from when she married then Prince Charles in 1981 and a peach hat she wore for her honeymoon send-off. The auction also includes pieces belonging to other British royals including the late Queen Elizabeth II and the queen mother. Nolan said Julien's Auctions had previously sold a dress belonging to Diana for $1.14 million. "People do consider these items as an asset class now, because if people own these items today, chances are in years to come they will sell them for more than what they pay for (at) auction," he said. Part of the proceeds from the sale of Diana's items will go to charity Muscular Dystrophy UK. The pre-sale exhibition in Newbridge will run until June 17.

'The Day of The Jackal' author Frederick Forsyth dies aged 86
Prolific British thriller writer Frederick Forsyth, who instantly became a global bestselling author when his book "The Day of the Jackal" was published in 1971, died on Monday aged 86, his literary agents Curtis Brown said. Forsyth famously penned his most famous work about a fictional assassination attempt on French president Charles de Gaulle by right-wing extremists in just 35 days after falling on hard times. "The Jackal" went on to be made into a hit film starring Edward Fox as the assassin. A Netflix remake last year with Eddie Redmayne in the lead role was released last year. "We mourn the passing of one of the world's greatest thriller writers," his agent Jonathan Lloyd said. Forsyth died at home surrounded by his family following a brief illness, according to Curtis Brown. The former journalist and pilot wrote over 25 books including "The Odessa File" (1972) and "The Dogs of War" (1974) and sold over 75 million copies worldwide. Many of his novels were also turned into films. "Only a few weeks ago I sat with him as we watched a new and moving documentary of his life ... and was reminded of an extraordinary life, well lived," said Lloyd. "After serving as one of the youngest ever RAF pilots, he turned to journalism, using his gift for languages in German, French and Russian to become a foreign correspondent in Biafra (in Nigeria)," he said. - 'Spectacular luck' - "Appalled at what he saw and using his experience during a stint as a secret service agent, he wrote his first and perhaps most famous novel, 'The Day Of The Jackal'," he added. A sequel to "The Odessa File", entitled "Revenge Of Odessa", on which he worked with thriller writer Tony Kent, is due to be published in August, his publisher Bill Scott-Kerr said. "His journalistic background brought a rigour and a metronomic efficiency to his working practice and his nose for and understanding of a great story kept his novels both thrillingly contemporary and fresh," Scott-Kerr added. Forsyth attributed much of his success to "luck", recalling how a bullet narrowly missed him while he was covering the bloody Biafra civil war between 1967 and 1970. "I have had the most spectacular luck all through my life," he told The Times last November in an interview. "Right place, right time, right person, right contact, right promotion -- and even just turning my head away when that bullet went past," he said. Asked why he had decided to give up writing -- although he later went back to it -- he told AFP in 2016 he'd "run out of things to say". "I can't just sit at home and do a nice little romance from within my study, I have to go out and check out places like Modagishu, Guinea Bissau, both hellholes in different ways," he said. Forsyth had two sons by his first wife. His second wife, Sandy, died last year. Conservative MP David Davis paid tribute to his friend as a "fabulous wordsmith". He told Sky News that Forsyth "was a great believer in the old values -– he believed in honour and patriotism and courage and directness and straightforwardness, and a big defender of our armed forces". bur-har/jkb/ach
