The present Patek Philippe reference 605 stands as one of the most recognizable and timeless design creations. Its remarkable Bauhaus-inspired aesthetic and sophisticated style, which earned it the title of 'Modern' upon release, have guaranteed its enduring appeal, making it appear just as sleek and contemporary today as it did ninety years ago.
The present timepiece represents one of the most luxurious and exclusive variations of the reference. Made of solid platinum and featuring eight round and three baguette-cut diamond hour markers, its elegance is further enhanced by a case created by the famous casemaker Emile Vichet (Geneva Key 9), adding to its charm and rarity. Adding to its uniqueness, the dial is signed just above the seconds' register by Eberhard, the esteemed Milanese retailer, making this example even more appealing to double-signed watch collectors.
