Produced between 1943 and 1964, the manual-winding chronograph is encased in a 36mm rose gold case, a size considered important for the period. The design is accentuated by spider lugs, giving the watch a sophisticated appearance.
With only 51 pieces in rose gold recorded, reference 1579 is extremely rare. The calibre 13-130 chronograph movement, renowned for its precision and reliability, reinforces this watch's reputation as one of Patek Philippe's finest creations.
