Story & Heritage
Porsche Design was founded in 1972 by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, creator of the legendary Porsche 911. His vision was to apply the same philosophy used in automotive engineering to everyday objects — creating products where function dictated form.
Working together with Swiss manufacturer Orfina, Porsche Design produced some of the most iconic tool watches ever created, including the world’s first black PVD-coated chronographs worn by military pilots and motorsport professionals.
The use of black-coated steel revolutionized watch aesthetics at the time, giving Porsche Design watches a modern tactical appearance decades ahead of their era.
The minimalist dial architecture, lightweight design philosophy, and focus on legibility turned these watches into symbols of functional luxury and technical sophistication.
Today, vintage Porsche Design Orfina watches are increasingly appreciated by collectors for their historical importance, unmistakable aesthetics, and strong connection to automotive design culture.
A stylish and collectible Swiss-made Porsche Design timepiece with timeless Bauhaus-inspired aesthetics and iconic motorsport heritage.
The watch will be carefully packaged and shipped insured.
