Accompanied by Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with pulsometer scale in 1956 and its subsequent sale on 11 May 1957. To the best of our knowledge, it has never been offered in public before.

Production of reference 1579 was launched in 1943. The large case and unusual lugs, also called spider lugs because of their resemblance to a spider's legs, make it easily distinguishable from other Patek Philippe chronograph wristwatches of the era.
