With presentation case and Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming dates of manufacture and sale.

The chronograph wristwatch offered here for sale is an appealing example of Patek Philippe's celebrated reference 1579. The unusual lugs, also called spider lugs because of their resemblance to a spider's legs, make it easily distinguishable from other Patek Philippe chronograph wristwatches of the era. The combination of condition and case material render this present example an interesting addition to the collection of exceptional chronograph wristwatches made by Patek Philippe.
