Offered for sale is the exceptionally rare and historically important IWC Porsche Design Compass reference 3510, one of the most innovative tool watches ever created during the legendary collaboration between IWC Schaffhausen and Porsche Design. Designed by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the creator of the iconic Porsche 911, the Compass Watch remains one of the most technically fascinating wristwatches ever produced, featuring its ingenious patented double-case construction with a hidden magnetic compass beneath the watch movement.

This example is presented in very good condition and is accompanied by one of the most complete and desirable sets imaginable for a collector. The watch comes with its original outer box, original IWC travel/service pouch, an original IWC Certificate of Authenticity signed by the IWC Museum Curator and the Department Manager Technical Movements, dated 02.10.1980, IWC factory service documents from 11.08.2016 (service cost: €1,697), the accompanying letter from IWC dated 30.09.2016, IWC service documents from 20.12.2024, our PW Certificate of Authenticity, and the original bracelet in very good condition, suitable for wrists up to 18.5 cm.

Powered by the reliable IWC automatic Caliber 375, the Compass combines minimalist Porsche Design aesthetics with genuine functionality. Its hidden liquid-damped compass, lightweight construction, and unmistakable Bauhaus-inspired design make it one of the most iconic creations of the Porsche Design by IWC era.

Extremely few examples are offered with original IWC authentication from the museum together with documented factory service history. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a true collector-grade example of one of the most innovative and historically significant watches ever produced by IWC.

All watches are shipped free of charge via DHL Express with full insurance. Dispatch is arranged within 0–2 business days after your payment has been received in our bank account. On average, delivery takes 1–2 business days within the EU, 2–4 business days to the USA, and 2–4 business days worldwide. The watch is located in the European Union (EU). Buyers are responsible for any duties and taxes for watches shipped internationally (outside the EU). We do not ship on weekends. For security, delivery is made only to the person named on the order. A valid ID and the tracking number, provided prior to shipping, will be required upon receipt.

Watches are eligible for return or refund within 14 days from the date the package is delivered. All returned watches will be thoroughly inspected for any signs of wear, tear, or damage. Any such signs may negatively impact the customer’s refund. Refunds are issued to the original payment method used at the time of purchase. All watches are delivered with a transparent protective tape and a secure seal that does not obstruct inspection of the watch. If the tape is removed or the seal is broken, returns will not be accepted. In the unlikely event that a return package goes missing during transit, insurance claims will be processed, and a refund will be issued only upon completion of the insurance claim.

Every timepiece from PASHA WATCHES is backed by our commitment to quality and authenticity. We provide a one-year limited warranty on all pre-owned watches and a six-month limited warranty on vintage timepieces (over 25 years old).

Our warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. It does not cover water or moisture damage, natural wear and tear, accidental damage, or issues caused by misuse or improper handling. The warranty also excludes external components such as the bracelet, glass, dial, hands, pushers, crown, and bezel, as well as any work performed by unauthorized service providers.

While we take every measure to ensure reliability, water resistance is not guaranteed on vintage watches, unless explicitly stated in writing.
