The Restored 1972 Porsche 911 S 2.4 Targa
Bearing the unmistakable design signature of Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the 1972 Porsche 911 S 2.4 Targa is a stunning one-off classic. This legendary car is restored as part of a unique project by Porsche Classic in close collaboration with Porsche Design. Blending the features of tradition and the present day, it features original historic fabrics such as the black Sport-Tex checkered flag upholstery. It is also embossed with ‘50 Years of Porsche Design Edition’ on the side stripes, headrests, and dashboard.
Chronograph 1 – 1972 Limited Edition
Limited to 500 pieces, the new edition has remained true to the original design right down to the smallest of details. It bears the ear of the historic Porsche Design logo on the dial, crown, wristband, and case back. To incorporate the current technological standards, new features like the use of titanium and the addition of a new movement and water-resistant case are included. This iconic watch, technically adapted to be “state-of-the-art”, features the WERK 01.140 caliber, a high-performance, modern Porsche Design automatic movement with COSC certification.
The estimated value of this exclusive anniversary sports car and timepiece is between $275,000 USD – $325,000 USD, and will be sold as part of Sotheby’s Luxury Week New York.
