Accompanied by Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1938 and its subsequent sale on 23 March 1939.

This watch is a fine and rare example of a reference 130 model featuring a very unusual dial layout, giving it a completely different look compared to the regular versions. It interestingly omits any of the technical scales (tachymetre, telemetre or pulsometre) that one would usually expect on such a watch. Consequently the entire layout could be modified by moving the numerals further to the edge and enlarging the subsidiary dials. This results in better readability, both of the fifths seconds on the outer scale and the indications on the subsidiary dials. Interestingly due to the different dial proportions, the watch appears to be larger.
