You merely look after it for the next generation.’ — Patek Philippe started this now ubiquitous marketing campaign in 1966 and never looked back, though they already had an outstanding legacy since the watchmaker was founded in the year 1839.

Made from stainless steel—a rare choice for Patek, particularly in the pre-Nautilus era—the ref. 3579-1 stands as a foundational model that helped pave the way for other steel watches in Patek’s lineup and in many ways the precursor to the iconic Nautilus, which was released just two years after its discontinuance. Allegedly, the ref. 3579-1 was actually produced for the Japanese market, which saw an uptick in interest for Patek Philippe at the time, however only about 200 pieces were made, likely due to its obscure design for the brand at the time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis specific example is especially special as it features the even more elusive blue dial and comes as a collector set with the original boxes, accessories, and the original sales receipt - a quality seldom seen for this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"47%\"\u003eStock #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"2%\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"47%\"\u003ePPC35791\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePatek Philippe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCalatrava\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3579-1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSerial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12XXXXX \/ 52XXXX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMen's\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMillimeters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e37\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2pc Patek Philippe Black Alligator \"Cousu Main\" W\/ SS Patek Philippe Tang Buckle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCASE \u0026amp; BRACELET\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe modestly sized and thin stainless steel cushion-shaped case features an appealing mix of polished and brushed finishes, making for an elegant, yet unique overall design.

Completing the dial is the Asprey signature at 6 o’clock, an enduring symbol of London luxury since 1847 and a storied retailer to royalty, celebrated for commissioning exceptional pieces from the world’s most prestigious watchmakers. This combination of an Asprey-signed guilloché dial, dual-time display, and elegant detailing results in a harmonious and highly collectible timepiece that is rooted in functionality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"47%\"\u003eStock #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"2%\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"47%\"\u003ePGAT612104DT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePiaget\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAltiplano Dual Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e612104\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSerial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28XXXX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMen's \/ Unisex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18K White Gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilver Guilloché \"Asprey\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMillimeters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2pc Lizard Leather Strap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCASE \u0026amp; BRACELET\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 18k white gold case, highlighted by its crisp hobnail bezel, remains in exceptional condition, showing only light, honest wear and nominal evidence of prior polishing.

During the mid-century era, Movado competed directly with the likes of Rolex and Patek Philippe, establishing itself as one of the premier watchmakers of the period through a combination of innovative design, refined aesthetics, and exceptional manufacturing standards. While the brand’s modern identity is often associated with minimalist design, vintage Movado tells a far richer story, one deeply rooted in technical achievement and elegant watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented here, the solid 18K yellow gold Kingmatic Sub-Sea perfectly captures that balance between luxury and utility. Beginning in the 1930s, Movado introduced water-resistant wristwatches under the “Sub-Sea” designation, a hallmark later carried into the brand’s more robust sports and dive watches of the 1950s and 1960s. Unlike many manufacturers of the era, Movado extended this water-resistant engineering across even its dress-focused references, resulting in sophisticated pieces like this ref. 5261. With its elegant proportions, solid gold construction, and understated mid-century styling paired with the practical Sub-Sea capability, the Kingmatic represents an especially refined interpretation of the classic waterproof dress watch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"47%\"\u003eStock #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"2%\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"47%\"\u003eMOVKMSS5261\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMovado\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKingmatic Sub-Sea\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5261\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSerial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e53X\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMen's\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18K Yellow Gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMillimeters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2pc Handmade Black Alligator Strap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCASE \u0026amp; BRACELET\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe classically designed, 18K yellow gold case remains in exceptional condition, exhibiting only gentle wear and light evidence of being polished in the past. The case retains its original crown, adorned with the  Movado logo, which exhibits minor wear.
