With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with tachometer scale in 1951 and its subsequent sale on 21 September 1951.

To the best of our knowledge, this watch has never been offered in public before. It is a very good example displaying natural ageing to the dial and normal levels of wear and polishing one would expect on a 60 year old gold chronograph. This reference 1579 clearly appeals by its credible and authentic patina free of cosmetic interventions.

Production of reference 1579 was launched in 1943. The large case and 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.
