Carefully cherished throughout the years by the family of the original owner, the present timepiece represents an excellent opportunity for the collector of rare vintage Patek Philippe to obtain an example of this famous reference 1579. According to research, approximately 250 pieces were produced from which 105 are known to the market.
Part of the very rare second series, the present reference 1579 ‘spider lugs’ chronograph is very well preserved with a light patina and crisp hallmark behind the lug. The classic second series dial with hard enamel ‘chemin de fer’ scales, applied gold numerals and square indexes has aged naturally giving a charming individual character to the piece. As with most Patek Philippe chronographs of the period, it is fitted with the famous caliber 13’’’130 movement finished to the highest standard.
According to research, less than 480 examples of the reference 1579 were produced and around 200 are known to survive today. The cases were all made by Wenger, one of the very best case makers in Geneva at the time.
