Default Did the 997.1 Come With Steering Wheel Paddles for Tiptronic?

I'm looking at a local 997.1 C4S that looks to be in good condition, I like the color combo, but it had a Tip transmission with Sport Chrono but looks to have paddles on the steering wheel.
Was this ever an option from Porsche or did this have to be done aftermarket? The car is from a local Porsche dealership. Just curious. I still like it either way.

Thanks!

This is a 2008, and from the looks of it, it seems factory, I'd just never seen that option before. I'll be taking a look at it this weekend.

Somebody added them believe as only the buttons came from the factory with the Tip. Its a nice upgrade though if they function properly.

im getting ready to add paddles to the wheel in my Cayenne Turbo S that has a Tip to make it a better driver in Manual mode.
