Specialist note
The present timepiece is an appealing example of Patek Philippe's celebrated reference 1579, which was introduced in 1943. For a watch made in the 1940s, this chronograph was oversized (at 36 mm.) and featured unusual “spider lugs” because of their resemblance to a spider's legs.
Easily distinguishable from other Patek Philippe chronograph wristwatches of the era, the Ref. 1579 is a veritable classic in the Geneva’s brand line-up of chronographs
