Do you see the big hat with the screw on the top, between the two lugs on the left? Here is the column wheel, under this hat.
Another marvel from the past: Patek Philippe Ref 1579.
Here are some pictures I could take some years ago. From 1948, this one: It also existed in steel ( Credit Antiquorum ) And in platinum ( Christies ) : 36 mm case, Valjoux inside, a pure example of class and elegance. Best, Nicolas ...
Great pink dial and amazing lugs...
...I'm assuming it's slightly out of my budget : )
Does my memory serve me correct...
These vintage Patek Chronographs in steel are the the most rare?
Rare bird 🐦 indeed with the pink dial !
Must have been fun to handle it and take photos. Thanks for sharing this vintage beauty.
lovely pic Nico I think the Italians called this one " fagolino" Due to the lugs looking like a bean
The condition of the case and dial look amazing!! Thanks Julian
Fagiolino relates to the lugs on ref 591 which look like little beans
You are correct that this reference has spider lugs Julian
What a watch
The movement looks amazing even today, I can only imagine what mid-century eyes would think. And the dial is fabulous. Thanks as always for sharing!
Wow, what a beauty, what a classic Nico.
If Ingrid Bergman were a watch she would be this one.
I know your love for pink dials… it’s your Renato’s side 😬 grande folle va 😂😂😂
Don’t like much the lugs… but the dial of the steel version is fantastic. La biz poto Best Ø
Fully agree: "a pure example of class and elegance".
It's a tough one, but I think I prefer the steel version. And that size - 36 mm! Yes, please!
Like these classic gem's
And it has a good size at 36 mm for even this modern day to wear.
