Accompanied by a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of this watch in 1943 and its subsequent sale on 4 November 1943.

The reference 130, released in 1934, is Patek Philippe's first chronograph model given a reference number. Under this reference Patek Philippe produced a diversity of models such as the traditional chronograph and also the more exotic single button chronographs. Both types are available in different precious metal as well as stainless steel, to the best of our knowledge, very few specimens were produced in white gold.
