Released in 1969 and produced for over a short five year run until 1974, speculations imply that this model were specifically crafted for the Japanese market, with an estimated 200 examples having been manufactured and distributed over time, though this hasn't been officially confirmed.
Ref. 3579 features a 34mm cushion-shaped case and have only been produced in stainless steel, a metal that has rarely ever been used by Patek Philippe over the course of their history. Measuring 38mm from lug to lug, its proportions create a blend of contemporary and classic appeal, whilst the C-shape, mixing polished lugs and brushed side, make it feel larger on the wrist than its dimensions would suggest.
