It seems the needle of the gauge is stuck at 175 F.
Oil temperature reading is significantly slower at temperature, compared to the coolant.
At an ambient temperature of 75 F, it takes about three minutes to get the coolant at 175 F, while the oil takes 3 or 4 minutes longer. In winter time this takes another few minutes.

As I have repeatedly said, the Porsche gauges do not show the correct water temp and even a 20F change in temp is not reflected as you would expect it to be. The 996's are better at showing change, but still show lower than actual temp.
Frankly, it does not matter. Get to know what temperature your engine is at whatever reading is on the gauge and you'll be good to go. For instance, on the 996, when the needle is on the "0" in 180, the engine temp is really about 210F. The guages are wrong but consistant.
OIl will always take longer to heat up than coolant. Remember that the oil is continuously flowing through the cooler whereas the coolant is maintained only in the engine until it reaches a temperature which opens the thermostat and allows it to head for the radiators.
