Lot Essay
Accompanied by a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with Breguet numerals and tachometric scale in 1941 and its subsequent sale on September 13th 1941.
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 stainless steel. It is interesting to note 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 more tonneau-shaped look, sportier and more robust with a more masculine appeal.
The present watch is believed to be part of a series of less than ten watches of this reference in stainless steel with Breguet numerals and probably only the seventh example to appear on the market.
It has recently been overhauled in the workshops of Patek Philippe.
