Model Overview

The Porsche Design PTC Dashboard Ref. 6612.10 represents one of the most technically sophisticated and visually distinctive chapters in Porsche Design's modern watchmaking history.
Developed during the celebrated mid-2000s era of Porsche Design Timepieces, the Dashboard collection translated the precision, functionality and unmistakable instrument-panel aesthetics of Porsche sports cars into high-end Swiss mechanical chronographs.

The collection was among the brand's prominent watchmaking highlights around Baselworld 2007, combining motorsport engineering philosophy with contemporary luxury watchmaking.

At its heart is the highly respected Swiss ETA 2894-2 automatic chronograph movement, a premium modular chronograph calibre with 37 jewels and a high-frequency 28,800 vibrations per hour.

This particular example is especially attractive thanks to its distinctive grey dial, original titanium construction, unusual spoke-inspired rotor design and generously sized original bracelet.

A serious collector's piece from an era when Porsche Design produced some of its most ambitious mechanical sports watches.

Case & Design

The approximately 42 mm titanium case reflects Porsche Design's commitment to functional engineering and technical materials.

Titanium offers excellent strength, corrosion resistance and significantly reduced weight compared with conventional stainless steel.

The watch combines a strong architectural case design with a sophisticated, instrument-inspired dial layout. Its proportions and technical character make it immediately recognisable as a Porsche Design creation.

The grey dial, contrasting chronograph indications and carefully integrated date display evoke the precision instrumentation found inside high-performance Porsche sports cars.

Movement – ETA 2894-2

One of the most important features of this timepiece is its prestigious ETA 2894-2 automatic chronograph calibre.

Built upon ETA's established high-grade automatic movement architecture, the 2894-2 combines reliable mechanical timekeeping with an integrated modular chronograph system.

Technical highlights include 37 jewels, a 4 Hz balance frequency, automatic winding, hacking seconds and chronograph measurements up to 12 hours.

Particularly interesting for collectors is the distinctive spoke-style automatic rotor, inspired by automotive wheel design.

The calibre and configuration are also documented in auction records for the Porsche Design Dashboard 6612.10, including examples offered by Dorotheum.

This is a genuine Swiss mechanical chronograph, not a quartz or entry-level fashion watch.

Original Titanium Bracelet – Rare Large Size

A particularly desirable feature of this example is its original Porsche Design titanium bracelet, suitable for a wrist circumference of approximately 19–20 cm.

Finding older Porsche Design chronographs with generously sized original bracelets can be challenging, as many surviving examples have been shortened and their spare links lost over time.

The matching bracelet is an important element of the watch's original design, providing excellent visual continuity with the titanium case.

Its lightweight construction also makes this substantial chronograph surprisingly comfortable on the wrist.

Porsche Design – Motorsport Heritage

Porsche Design was founded in 1972 by Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the designer of the legendary Porsche 911.

His philosophy was straightforward: form should follow function.

This approach became the foundation of Porsche Design's watches, which pioneered the use of unconventional finishes, technical materials and automotive-inspired design.

The Dashboard series belongs to a particularly interesting period when Porsche Design's Swiss-made mechanical watches combined sophisticated ETA movements with distinctive automotive styling.

Unlike many conventional luxury chronographs, these watches were designed to express a genuine connection between mechanical watchmaking and precision automotive engineering.

Collector Appeal & Value Potential

The Dashboard 6612.10 offers several important qualities for serious collectors.

First, its technical pedigree: the ETA 2894-2 is a respected Swiss automatic chronograph movement, offering considerably more mechanical complexity than standard three-hand automatic watches.

Second, its design: the titanium construction, automotive-inspired dial and distinctive rotor make the watch immediately identifiable with Porsche Design's engineering heritage.

Third, its historical positioning: with a reported original retail price of approximately €6,800 in 2008, this was positioned as a premium mechanical chronograph rather than an entry-level accessory.

Finally, the combination of an original large bracelet, presentation box and accompanying open papers makes this example particularly interesting.

Early and discontinued Porsche Design mechanical watches have developed a dedicated collector following. While future market values cannot be guaranteed, well-preserved examples with original accessories are especially attractive within this specialist collecting category.
