The Saint Philippe was launched in October 1693 and completed in December of the same year.

The Saint Philippe was rebuilt at Toulon from February 1699 to 1700; she took part in the Battle of Vélez-Málaga on 24 August 1703 as the Flagship.

She ships state room was hit by a bomb-vessel and several officers died.

In July 1707 - during the siege of Toulon - she and her sister were undergoing a refit in the basin of Le Mourillon, and avoided the scuttling order which affected most other French ships at Toulon; they were sailed to counter the British attack, and subsequently were used as floating batteries.

The Saint Philippe was condemned at Toulon on 18 August 1714, and was subsequently taken to pieces.
