Default Unusual seat design: what option code is this?

I don't recall ever seeing this type of seat treatment on any 993. It looks completely OEM. Has anyone ever seen this or know the option code?

That rare quilted pattern was an option exclusive to the Scottish market; one year only if memory serves me correctly.

Aftermarket? Some aftermarket have OE fit and finish. Seats exhibit little use, how many miles on the car if over 80k and the driver's seat looks this good, it probably has been replaced. Andy

Car is under 35k miles and everything about the seats looks OEM. Looks like no one who has read this post has seen them before...

I've never seen this before either. Looks like a standard non-supple leather seat and someone added the straight line of stitching up the middle. To me, the straight line does not complement every other stitched line, which are all curved, so my guess is aftermarket and not a Porsche option code item.

Also do not see this seat cover option in the OE seat catalog.

I agree they don't look OEM but one thing that caught my eye is that the car also has a full leather console and the OEM phone console, so it was obviously heavily and uniquely optioned, so it's a possibility...

I never would have thought it until I recently bought a 911SC with a set of the ugliest seats I have ever seen. The original owner swore up and down they were original, I didn't believe him until I saw it on the original invoice. Turns out they are "Furhmann" seats and were a VERY rare and expensive option.

So still not convinced but I would say there is a chance this is some funky Exclusive deal.
