SIGNED PATEK PHILIPPE, GENEVE, REF. 600/1, MOVEMENT NO. 931'291, CASE NO. 689'477, CIRCA 1955

In 1953 watchmaker Abdul Rahman Serour of red Sea trading (Patek Philippe’s Saudi Arabian agent) ordered a series of 150 wristwatches, reference 2481 and 200 dress watches, reference 600/1 with a special dial with Ruby indexes and featuring the portrait of King Saud bin Abdulaziz Al Saud in commemoration of his accession in the throne in 1953. The watches were delivered most likely on behalf of the court.

The present timepiece is distinguished by its very good overall condition, with crisp hallmarks.
