The model responds particularly badly to polishing, as even the lightest intervention dulls its sharp angles and facets. Compared to its sibling reference 130, it is decidedly more flamboyant in shape and character.;One of the largest vintage chronograph wristwatches, the model was cased in yellow gold, pink gold, stainless steel and platinum.;The present watch is one of the most important examples of the reference. Residing in one of the most important European collections for almost two decades since it last changed hands at auction, this superlative specimen boasts applied yellow gold Breguet numerals in lieu of the usual pyramid markers. To date, only one similar example featuring enamel Breguet numerals, with movement number 868'616 and case number 683'669, has appeared on the market. Thus, the present watch is most probably unique as no other example with this dial configuration has appeared on the auction market thus far.;This watch most notably omits outer telemetre, pulsometre or tachymetre scales, giving space for the numerals to flourish. Breguet numerals are particularly favored by collectors due their unmistakably vintage appearance and aesthetic harmony. While regrettably the Patek Philippe Archives does not explicitly mention this dial configuration, it has to be pointed out how the dial of reference 1579 is different from that of most chronograph references of the time (130, 533, 591, 1463) due to its larger diameter. Only other two references can fit a similar dial: the very rare 530 and 1506. Thus, it is a highly educated guess that such dial is native to the timepiece. Additional credit is given to this thesis by the absolute rarity of such a dial configuration throughout all these references: only one similar dial is known, from a reference 530.;Attention should be paid to its exceptional condition of preservation. Featuring angled facets along with contrasting polished and satin finishes, it displays crisp hallmarks on the case band and beneath the lug. The dial has aged to a warm vanilla tone over time, and the enamel signature remains strong and raised.;It has been seven years since a reference 1579 with Breguet numerals has appeared on the market, and that example still holds the highest result for a yellow gold 1579. To offer the second known example, benefiting from a most probably unique dial configuration, presents an exceedingly rare opportunity to own a historically significant Patek Philippe chronograph wristwatch.

Diameter;Signed: Case, dial, movement and bracelet signed, case and bracelet furthermore signed for Serpico y Laino, bracelet also signed Gay Frères;Accessories: Accompanied by Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with raised hour markers in gold in 1950 and its subsequent sale on 22 December 1950.;Catalogue Essay;This superlative chronograph wristwatch, retailed by Serpico y Laino in Venezuela, is with great certainty among the best examples of reference 1579 to ever appear on the market. Such statements have become common place today, and some have even banned its use. Yet, there could not be a better way to describe the present watch. Introduced to the market in 1943, the reference most notably features faceted lugs that have been dubbed "spider lugs" by collectors, due to their unusual shape. The model responds particularly badly to polishing, as even the lightest intervention dulls its sharp angles.;At first glance, one cannot help but marvel at the extraordinary condition of the case. It is, in our opinion, among the few examples to have remained in unpolished condition today. Featuring an incredibly sharp hallmark to the band and beneath the lug, the watch also displays a deep assay mark punched next to the pusher, which is visible without the aid of a loupe. Furthermore, there is an S&L engraving and 18K gold mark on the case back. Such markings were always applied to the case back of South American imported watches. One can surmise that frequent wear has caused the case back engravings to dull slightly, which is fitting as pink gold is particularly soft and malleable.;The dial is also preserved in excellent condition, and the enamel remains nicely raised. Its two-tone design is truly stunning, with the inner railroad track slightly more silver in nature than the rest of the dial, contrasting with the pink gold numerals and markers.;Even rarer still, the heavy and luxurious pink gold bracelet is also stamped SYL for the retailer. Manufactured by Gay Frères, the clasp is stamped 4.54 for the fourth quarter of 1954. One can conclude the bracelet was ordered by the client as a special addition to complement his or her beautiful wristwatch.;Such incredibly preserved examples hardly ever grace the market. Yet, to have one, retailed by Serpico y Laino and further accompanied with a retailer-stamped Gay Frères bracelet, is virtually unheard of. Indeed, the present watch is the only known pink gold reference 1579 retailed by Serpico Y Laino, which propels this watch to new heights in both scholarship and collectibility.

The Extract further mentions that the original case has been replaced by the present case numbered 660'233 during a servicing in the Patek Philippe workshop in 1967..By all means, few vintage collectors' watches are of such rarity, quality and visual appeal as this reference 1579. It would not only be a superb addition to any important collection of vintage Patek Philippe chronographs and take immediately a prominent role within this context, but also no collector of this landmark reference can ever claim his collection to be complete without a specimen in stainless steel..Patek Philippe 's reference 1579 in stainless steel is one of the rarest gems in the world of wristwatch collecting. Interestingly, it is understood that only a very small number was cased and sold in the 1940s. The other examples, including the present one, were finished to a later date upon request by Patek Philippe 's most loyal clients following the approval of the firm..This watch is of great importance as it is a superb witness of how a reference 1579 left the workshops of Patek Philippe, showing how all the case elements were originally finished. It is consequently a perfect example to all the other watches of the celebrated reference 1579 when it comes to comparison, condition and possible restoration..This exceptional 1579 is blessed with a superb silvered dial, lightly and appealingly patinated, displaying warm tones throughout and perfectly contrasting with the icy beauty of the steel case. The signature, hour markers and scales are finished in black enamel and are nicely raised. The case, quasi allergic to insensible polishing, has maintained its sharp facets and angles to the lugs..Given the excessively high level of rarity and exclusivity of this model, combined with its excellent overall condition and absolute freshness to the auction market, this watch is an exquisite treasure for the discerning collector..Reference 1579, introduced in 1943, takes a unique position in the production of chronographs at Patek Philippe, as it is not only one of the largest models with a diameter of 36 mm., but also the only one with facetted lugs..According to our research, only 8 other examples in stainless steel have appeared in public to date. Furthermore, the present watch comes from the descendant of the original owner.
