The present example of Patek Philippe's renowned reference 600 is the pinnacle of style and exclusivity. It is made of 18k pink gold and has three baguette-cut diamond hour markers and eight round-cut rubies set in a sophisticated combination. A case by renowned Geneva casemaker Emile Vichet, bearing his key mark no. 9, further enhances its prestige. Additionally, 43 rubies totalling 0.80 ct and 43 diamonds totalling 0.50 ct are used to adorn the case band and crown guard.
Due to its sleek Bauhaus-inspired design, the reference 600, which was introduced in 1933 and manufactured until 1969, immediately gained the nickname 'Modern'. It was one of Patek Philippe's most notable designs of the mid-20th century because of its simple lines and balanced proportions. It still looks as sleek and modern today as it did seventy years ago, making it one of the manufacturer's timeless icons.
