Description
PATEK PHILIPPE REF. 3579 IN STAINLESS STEEL - From 1970 Reference No. 3579 Serial No. 51***8 Year: circa 1970 Material: Stainless steel Dimensions: 32 x 39 mm Calibre: Manual Crystal: Sapphire Strap: Original leather A rare and highly attractive example of one of Patek Philippe’s most unusual vintage sports watches, the reference 3579 was produced for a limited period during the 1970s and manufactured exclusively in stainless steel. Distinguished by its elegant tonneau-shaped water-resistant case and clean, modern aesthetic, it embodies the distinctive design language of the decade whilst retaining the refinement expected of the Geneva-based manufacture. This watch features the highly sought-after blue sunburst dial, a configuration encountered less frequently than the silvered dial variant, which enhances its appeal amongst collectors. It is powered by the renowned extra-flat manual-winding calibre 23-300 with Gyromax balance, celebrated for its technical sophistication and exceptional finishing. Combining rarity, understated elegance and high-quality watchmaking, the reference 3579 remains one of the most discreet and collectable steel Patek Philippe models of its era. Currently in working order.
