Reference 1593 was launched in 1944. For over 20 years the model was available in gold, very few examples in platinum. The present watch is fitted with the attractive diamond-set dial and represents a most elegant and rare version of the reference 1593.

The model is illustrated in Patek Philippe Wristwatches by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, second edition, p. 128 & 129 and 141 & 142.
