Lot Essay

Accompanied by Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1942 and its subsequent sale on 16 September 1942.

To the best of our knowledge, this watch has never been offered in public before.

The production of the simple chronograph with reference 130 was launched in 1934. The model was produced in different precious metal versions as well as in stainless steel. It is interesting to know that the lugs of the stainless steel version are different from the yellow, pink or white gold ones. Their slightly thicker but shorter design gives the watch a rather tonneau-shaped design and a more sportive, robust and masculin look.
