Pocket watch lapel fob

[gaetano]

Hello everybody,
I'm a new member. Here's my question. In the lovely My Fair Lady 1964 movie Rex Harrison, as professor Higgins, wore in some scenes a presumably leather string hanging from his left lapel buttonhole ending up in his left breast pocket. Possibly a pocket watch fob. Same showed also in some photos of the late Duke of Windsor. Has anyone noticed it? Can anyone suggest where to buy it in the UK? Many thanks for any help.

It's an Albert strap, as noted above.
