Patek Philippe's reference 130 is without doubt one of the most desirable collector's pieces from the elegant Patek Philippe chronograph range. The reference was launched in 1934 in several different styles with regard to material and dials: two-pusher and one-pusher chronographs, silver-coloured or black dials with Arabic or Roman numerals, Breguet numerals, short and long baton indexes, sector dial; yellow, red or white gold and steel. Reference 130 is perfectly proportioned, with a large dial for easy reading embedded in a delicate, concave bezel, a push button at 2 and another at 4. Reference 130 was at first fitted in ebauches by Victorin Piguet and later in Lemania ebauches.
This watch was probably serviced by Patek Philippe in Geneva some years back. Both movement and dial have been cleaned with utmost care. The scales and the Patek Philippe logo on the magnificent dial are enamel and add to the elegant appeal of this watch. A marvelous timepiece for every occasion!
