With Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated 15 February 1950 and Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with raised gold indexes in 1949 and its subsequent sale on 12 February 1950.
Fresh to the market, this reference 130 is a very appealing example of one of Patek Philippe's landmark models, distinguished by the charismatic two-tone silvered dial. It has naturally aged and has never been subject to cosmetic enhancement, demonstrated by the attractive, nearly perfect ivory patina. The hard enamel signatures and scales are as raised as one would expect.
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.
