Patek Philippe Calatrava/C Ref. 3579 with Archive

The construction is exceptionally dimensional, with highly delicate transitions between the polished and brushed surfaces of the flat bezel and C-line case. The edge angles and smoothness vary subtly from one section to another, demonstrating a level of refinement that can only be described as unmistakably Patek. Blue-dial examples of this type have risen significantly in price. Silver-dial examples remain relatively accessible, making this an excellent opportunity to acquire one while prices are still favorable. ## Condition and Warranty One of the watch’s most notable features is its excellent condition. Vintage components prone to deterioration, such as the dial and hands, have miraculously remained almost completely unaffected. The case has some light scratches, but is otherwise in very good overall condition, with few major dents or scratches. There is virtually no sunken appearance or rounding of the case shape, and the edges remain exceptionally clean. The watch had already received an extremely fine finish when we acquired it, so that finish has been retained without further polishing. (The finishing is exceptionally beautiful.) The dial, hands, and crystal are all clean, with almost no dirt or scratches. Serviced by our store.
