Description
Patek 1579 Rose Gold vintage Chrono! This super rare 1579 with Rose Dial.
Collectors of vintage Patek Philippe chronographs are most
familiar with the firm’s landmark references: 130, 533, 591,
1463, 530 and 1579. The latter takes a somewhat unique
position in this family, as it is the only model featuring
fanciful lugs in the shape of briolette diamonds. Thanks
to these unusual faceted lugs, the reference 1579 is also
referred to as the “spider” lug chronograph, and features
one of the most impressive case designs from the mid20th century.
Released in 1943 at Basel and in production
until 1964, the 36mm diameter Wenger case with faceted
downturned lugs and rectangular chronograph buttons has
an unconventional look that remains sophisticated with an
elegant appeal. The Valjoux ébauche was finished to the
highest standards at Patek Philippe’s workshop and today
it is known as the caliber 13”’, one of the finest manual
chronograph movements of its era.
Patek Philippe’s oversized reference 1579 has a seductive
allure and is a watch that today can be comfortably worn
in either a formal or casual environment. This watch will
attract all connoisseurs for its overall original condition and
classic timelessness.
