Vintage Patek Identification Help

This was my grandfather's watch and it was recently given to me. It still runs great and I am looking to restore it to its former glory (including getting it off that flex band). I'd appreciate any help figuring out the model number and approximate date it was made. There are no markings on the caseback and I have not had it opened up yet to see if any information is inside. Thanks in advance for the help!

The reference number will be in the inside of the caseback. Take it to a watchmaker if you don't feel sure about opening it yourself.

Approximate date 1950, based on date of other ref 1585s.
Case most likely 18k.
