This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.
The present watch is a very attractive example of one of the exceedingly rare references 130 in gold fitted with the rare silvered sector or aviator dial, as confirmed by the Extract from the Archives. As a matter of fact, gold chronographs with sector dials are much rarer, for obvious reasons, than their peers cased in stainless steel.
It was given to the father of the present owners in 1938 as gift for successfully passing the driving licence and has never been offered in public before.
The meticulous first and second owners had it regularly serviced at Patek Philippe's workshops. The case has retained appealing proportions, the dial has been professionally cleaned and restored and displays an attractive, uniform silver-coloured patina.
Reference 130
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.
Further examples of early reference 130 chronographs with sector dials are illustrated in Patek Philippe Wristwatches by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, second edition, p. 263 and in Ore d'Oro 2 by Jader Barracca, Negretti, Franco Nencini, pl. C9
