Leonardo DiCaprio’s memorable speech as Jordan Belfort in “The Wolf of Wall Street,” in which he implores his employees to “pick up the phone and start dialing” to become rich, is one of the most frequently quoted scenes in the film.

During the speech, which culminates in DiCaprio telling his staff to “RAM Steve Madden stock down your clients’ throats,” he explains that “as a rich man,” when he has to face his problems, he shows up wearing a $40,000 gold watch.

Famously, DiCaprio, a TAG ambassador, takes off the watch and tosses it into the crowd, telling them to “duke it out.”

The watch, a TAG Heuer 1000 Professional, is worth a fraction of the stated value, but was the only watch supplied to production, according to Propstore, which is selling the memorable movie prop. It also appears in the poster art for the movie.
