This stunning “pink on pink” ref. 600/2 with Breguet numerals and hands is believed to be part of an exceedingly small series of only six examples of this particular version known to exist. It is however the only one featuring the much sought after "Tiffany & Co." retailer signature and "PXP" export mark to appear in public to date.
Fresh to the market, this ref. 600/2 is particularly attractive with a harmonious overall monochrome pink gold appearance. The dial also impresses with its excellent and original state of preservation with the wonderfully raised long "Patek Philippe & Cie." signature, absolutely correct for a watch manufactured before 1948 and the wonderfully patinated Breguet numerals that have acquired the “blued” appearance of gold untouched for decades.
On close inspection of the movement we can see the import stamp, PXP, which tells us that this watch was made specifically for the American market and therefore absolutely correct for a Tiffany & Co. signed watch. The PXP mark was used by Patek Philippe during the 1940s and 1950s to identify watches made for the American market.

Launched in 1933 it was one of Patek Philippe's most popular dress watches. Also called the "white tie" or "smoking" watch, its timeless, modernist design enjoys great popularity amongst collectors even today. The model was available with either 16 or 17 ligne calibre movements. The cases were made either by Vichet or, as with the present watch, Eggly & Cie.
