Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)

Beverly Hills Cop II

Tony Scott's neon-lit sequel returns Axel Foley to Beverly Hills, where the joke is again the gap between a working Detroit cop and the surfaces around him, this time chasing jewel thieves led by Maxwell Dent (Jürgen Prochnow) and his enforcer Karla Fry (Brigitte Nielsen). Paramount Pictures, 1987. (IMDb)

Watches

TAG Heuer 2000 Professional

Worn by Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley. Foley wears one watch on his left wrist across the Beverly Hills case, with the Detroit Lions letterman jacket and with the Mumford sweatshirt alike: a Heuer 2000 Professional quartz chronograph whose black PVD case and bracelet carry a gold bezel over a white dial. The insert close-up at Billy Rosewood's house, where Foley fumes a print with superglue, is the shot that settles it, resolving three sunken registers on the dial and the gold bezel and pushers around them; the daylight shot of him crouched over Rosewood's flowerbed shows the same gold bezel plainly against the black bracelet. Heuer's 1983/1984 catalogue lists exactly one 2000-series chronograph in that combination, 256.006, as "white/gold dial, gold bezel, two tone case, black bracelet", and pictures it as a black case and bracelet under a gold bezel; the sibling 253.006 is the same watch with a black bezel, and 956.006 is the three-hand version of the same colours. That makes it a pre-merger Heuer reference on screen two years after the TAG group took the name in 1985. No frame renders the dial text, so the reference rests on that catalogue combination and on the published identifications rather than on reading the watch.

Porsche Design Chronograph One

Worn by Brigitte Nielsen as Karla Fry. Karla Fry checks her watch at 10:30 a.m. in the film's own timeline, an Orfina-made Porsche Design chronograph per The Clock Wiki's scene-by-scene survey of on-screen timepieces. Montres de Luxe's headline instead calls it a "Porsche Design Pasadena," but no such product is documented anywhere in Porsche Design's history; the phrase most likely conflates the real Chronograph One with the Heuer Pasadena, a later lugless chronograph explicitly modeled on that design, and neither source's article text resolves the confusion or names a reference. No legible frame has been located to narrow the case finish or dial execution beyond "Porsche Design." (The Clock Wiki; Montres de Luxe)
