Vintage 18 carat Patek Philippe 3578/1 with lapis lazuli case and hands
There is no doubt that Patek Philippe are regarded as the one of, if not the finest watch makers in the world, and here is a truly magnificent vintage Patek Philippe reference 3578/1 that is so unique and special and destined to always be admired for its elegance and style.
Made in 1975, the entire watch including the band is made in solid 18 carat yellow gold and wraps around the wrist so beautifully. Sitting on the wrist, this watch feels so smooth and tactile and slips perfectly under the sleeve.
However it is not just the yellow gold that makes this watch stand out, rather it each side that is set with an elongated piece of lapis lazuli, which is a natural material that is blue in colour with golden flecks of pyrite running through it.
And so typical of the true quality of Patek Philippe, not only are the index markers inlayed with more lapis, but astonishingly, so are the hands. This is just further justification on why Patek Philippe are so highly regarded the world over.
The case measures 30mm across plus the crown, and from end to end the watch measures 19.7cm in its full length and can be adjusted three sizes via the clasp.
And then as if Patek Philippe couldn't make this watch any more exciting, it is fitted with a Sigma dial. When looking at the bottom of the dial, on each side of the word “Swiss”, there is the Greek letter, Sigma which can be seen here – Ó. What this subtle yet important mark designates, is that the hands and index markers are in solid gold. Used by approximately seven watch companies in Switzerland from 1970, it was among its main reason to signify when gold parts were on the dial to subsequently add to both the financial and intrinsic value of a watch.
Powered inside by the gorgeous manual wind 18 jewelled Patek Philippe calibre 177 that has just undergone a full service and comes with our twelve month warranty, this is a magnificent watch that is as beautiful on the outside as it is to see that gorgeous movement.
