Lot Essay
Rarely today does the Patek Philippe collector have the opportunity to obtain a pink gold reference 1579 ‘Spider Lugs’ chronograph. One of Patek Philippe’s largest chronographs of the era, it is regarded by collectors as a sculptural design masterpiece. The landmark reference 1579 is now one of the most sought after vintage Patek Philippe chronographs due to its impressive presence and wearability.
This beautiful example of the very rare pink gold second series 1579, is one of only around 82 pink gold examples known to the market. The second series watches appeared in Patek Philippe’s catalogues from 1950, the year the present watch was manufactured. The dial features the correct post-1948 ‘short’ Patek Philippe signature.
The lovely pink gold 1579 first appeared at auction in 1989 with a silver finished dial. Though the updated Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives did not clarify on the colour the dial, the present watch, fitted with a pink dial, cosigned by an important collector to Christie’s by end of 2025, was accepted and confirmed by Patek Philippe by the latest extract applied and issued Jan 27th 2026.
Reference 1579
Reference 1579 was launched at the Basel fair in 1943 and remained in Patek Philippe catalogues until 1964. The three-piece cases were made by Wenger, the dials were provided by the renowned Stern Frères, the movements based on the Valjoux 13''' ébauche, renamed by Patek Philippe calibre 13-130 after having been finished to highest standards in the firm’s workshops. Around 470 watches were made in total and of these, approximately 185 were made in pink gold.
Reference 1579 was made in two series:
- 1st series from 1943 to 1949: Arabic and baton numerals, baton or feuille hands
- 2nd series from 1950 to 1964: Arabic and square numerals, feuille hands, such as the present watch

如今，百達翡麗收藏家已鮮少有機會獲得一枚紅金型號1579「蜘蛛耳」計時腕錶。作為該品牌當年最大的計時腕錶之一，它被收藏家譽為雕塑設計的傑作。極具標誌性的1579型號，因其非凡的存在感與佩戴舒適性，已成為現今最受追捧的 vintage 百達翡麗計時腕錶之一。
這枚精美的極罕有紅金二期系列1579腕錶，是市場上已知僅約82枚紅金錶例之一。二期腕錶自1950年——即本錶製造的年份——起出現在百達翡麗的產品目錄中。其錶盤採用正確的1948年後「短」版百達翡麗簽名。
這枚迷人的紅金1579腕錶首次於1989年出現在拍賣會上，當時配備銀色錶盤。本錶在2025年末由私人收藏家把本腕錶交予佳士得時配備粉紅色錶盤、在2025年年末由佳士得申請後補證書及後百達翡麗於2026年1月27號發出後補證書
