This is a vintage 1957 18K rose gold Patek Philippe Chronograph Gobi Milano 1579R. It has an alligator leather strap with an 18k signed rose gold tang buckle, and an acrylic crystal. It has rectangular chronograph push buttons, a pull-out winding crown, and a solid snap down case back with the inside stamped with "PATEK PHILIPPE & CO – GENEVE – SWISS – REF 1579," hallmarks, and a serial number. The 36mm diameter solid three-body case, faceted still-sharp teardrop lugs, and flat angled bezel, are polished. The original dial is signed "GOBBI, MILANO," and has a beautifully patinated matte silver finish with square pyramidal gold hour indices, applied gold Arabic numerals at the half hours, gold feuille leaf hands, and a blued center sweep second hand. There is a black outer minute/one-fifth second scale with Arabic numerals every five seconds to 60, and around the raised perimeter flange is a black tachymeter scale to 1000 UPH. It has two recessed silver subsidiary dials with railroad-style scales, black Arabic numerals, and gold feuille indicator hands, including a small running constant seconds register at 9 o'clock, and a 30-minute chronograph totalizer at the 3 o'clock position. It has a 42-hour power reserve at full winding, and the 11.5mm thick case, dial, and movement, are all signed. This Patek Philippe Chronograph 1579 has a mechanical manual winding Patek Philippe caliber 13-130 (base Valjoux ebauche) column wheel chronograph movement. It's rhodium plated with Cotes de Geneve embellishment, and it's constructed with 23 jewels, a shock absorber device, and a straight-line lever escapement. It has a cut bimetallic compensation balance that's adjusted to 8 positions, a blued steel Breguet balance spring, and a swan-neck micrometer regulator. The mechanism oscillates at a frequency of 18,000 vph (2.5 Hz). Production of the very rare Patek Philippe Chronograph 1579 began in 1943. This watch includes a Patek Philippe archive certificate confirming the original date of sale in 1957, and it's co-branded by the seller Gobbi in Milan, Italy.
