The Patek Philippe ref. 3579, produced between 1969 and 1974, was an inventive and creative watch that embodied the brand's early design approach. Its cushion-shaped case, balancing polished and brushed surfaces, marked a departure from Patek Philippe's traditional offerings. The ref. 3579 was only produced in stainless steel, a rare and durable metal used by Patek Philippe. The watch's contemporary, cushion-shaped case, with a brushed finish on the bezel and sides and polished lugs, creates a rich interplay of textures. The silver dial features a subtle "sunburst" effect, polished hour indexes, and the "Patek Philippe Genève" signature, which has been lost on current pieces. The dial is restrained and seamlessly blends into the case's design.
