The model was introduced in 1968 – and immediately stood out from the other, more traditional models at the time. By now the watch is regarded as a timeless, elegant style icon and one of the most beautiful timepieces Patek Philippe ever created. Its signature features are the graceful, ellipsoidal case and the iridescent dial, which in this model is blue with gold hour markers and hands.
