Hello i have a iwc porsche 500 that i´m gonna sell.
But when i read on the hang tag the ref was :11103 for my ocean 500
I always thought that the ref nr for the iwc 500 was : 3503
Are there anyone that knows the diffrence on ref 11103 and 3503 ?
I tryied to find info on the net, but dont get much hits on ref 11103
Best Regards / Johan
Hi Johan,
There were two different versions of the Ocean 500: one complete titan and one with yellow gold bezel.
The titan is ref. 3503-001, the one with gold bezel ref.3503-002.
I have no explanation for 11103.
Kind regards,

Hello Johan,
As an IWC & PD factory authorized service center for more than 35 years here's an official answer to your question.
Since Porsche Design sold a wide variety of products, including timepieces first made by Orfina and later by IWC, they implemented their own product numbers and one for each variation similar to a SKU which identifies the product within the company's inventory database.
Thus, with your IWC Ocean 500 ref. 3503, PD assigned their corresponding number 1110/3 which is the all titanium model. The tag you have is most likely the original tag.

Thanks Jack.
Another learning moment. I guess few if any would know what 1110/3 means.
