IWC Portugieser Chronograph Miami Vice Limited Edition 27/50 Steel Ref. IW371404
IWC Portugieser Chronograph Miami Vice Limited Edition 27/50 Steel Ref. IW371404
The Portugieser Chronograph Ref. IW371404 was produced as a 50-piece limited edition in 2006 for Michael Mann's Miami Vice, the configuration worn by Jamie Foxx as Ricardo Tubbs in the film's daytime scenes. The defining feature is the reverse panda dial: black with silver subdials, a layout not offered in the standard Portugieser Chronograph line at the time.
The Miami Vice logo and edition number are engraved on the caseback. The bicompax layout places the 30-minute counter at 12 o'clock and running seconds at 6 o'clock, with silver applied Arabic numerals and leaf hands reading cleanly against the black dial.

Collector's Insight:
Film-tie editions from major Swiss manufactures occupy a defined collector niche, and this is among the more recognized examples. The limited production keeps the edition genuinely scarce rather than nominally limited.
Resale Insight:
Documented provenance on this reference (individual numbering, caseback engraving, original box and papers) supports pricing above standard Portugieser Chronograph references. The film association and small run create a thin, demand-driven secondary market where complete sets hold the strongest positioning.
