$7,995.00 Sold out

Many timepieces have history closely tied to automotive racing, but perhaps none is more iconic than the Porsche Design Chronograph.  The original piece created in 1972 was the Chronograph 1.  It was the first timepiece to utilize a black PVD coating for the case and bracelet. Designed by the legendary Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, creator of the Porsche 911, the Chronograph 1 was the first product introduced by his company, Porsche Design. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Porsche Design brand and in conjunction with the GP Ice Race, organized by Ferdinand Porsche’s nephew in Zell am See Austria, the home of Porsche Design, the Chronograph 1 GP Ice Race Limited Edition was released in a limited run of 50 numbered pieces.
