Lot Essay

Accompanied by Patek Philippe Certificat d'Origine et de Garantie and Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with silvered dial, applied gold hour markers and tachometre scale in 1942 and its subsequent sale on 21 April 1943. Furthermore delivered with Patek Philippe original invoice dated 21 April 1943 addressed to Monsieur José Mullor, Barcelona, spare crystal in Patek Philippe paper bag numbered 863'037 and original fitted brown leather presentation box. It has never been offered in public before.

The present watch can be considered as one of the most attractive examples of a gold reference 130 offered at auction in recent years. Probably never used and only with extremely light signs of surface wear, it is of overall very high quality. The case is full and retains its original case proportions to the best extent.

Fresh to the market, the rarity of the present watch is furthermore enhanced by the presence of the original certificate, invoice, spare crystal and box.
