Patek Philippe ref. 3579
The Patek Philippe ref. 3579 is rarely seen.
Rumours suggest that it was exclusively produced for the Japanese market, with only 200 pieces having left the manufacture over the years, though this hasn't been officially confirmed.
The steel case measures 33 x 38 mm and the watch is powered by manual winding caliber 23-300.

Thanks Emmanuel for notifying us of this reference!
I really like the blue dial ! How would you describe this shaped case ?
I would call it “tonneau-cushion”,
because it’s a bit of both… The blue dial with baton markers is my favorite too, here. Best, Emmanuel
Indeed, there isn’t.
For me, the design has a sort of Grand Seiko flavor, so I tend to believe the rumors of a reference made specifically for the Japanese market. Anyway, it’s a nice reference, especially with the blue dial and baton markers. Best, Emmanuel
I’m glad if I manage to highlight some
forgotten yet attractive references. Thanks for looking and chiming in, Doug. Best, Emmanuel
Beautiful watch and I never knew that it existed.
Absolutely love the first one with blue dial and stick markers but not a big fan of the other two for whatever reason.
Like you, I think the blue dial/baton markers is the only
version that fully "works". Best, Emmanuel
What a unique, beautiful watch!
The blue dial with applied stick markers is my favorite as well. Patek really nailed it on this one. For an "oddly" shaped watch, it proportions look perfect to me.
Yes, this particular version of this reference
looks really wonderful. Thanks for looking and chiming in. Best, Emmanuel
