With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with silvered dial, tachymètre scale and raised hour markers in yellow gold in 1942 and its subsequent sale on 26 November 1943.
This watch is understood to be the only example of a reference 130 in stainless steel featuring such a two-tone rose-coloured dial known to exist to date. Given its date of manufacture, it is obvious that the currently mounted dial was added, at a later stage, by a connoisseur aiming to lend his "one-thirty" a more spectacular look.
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. It is interesting to note that the lugs of the stainless steel version are different from the yellow, pink or white gold ones. Their slightly thicker but shorter design gives the watch a rather tonneau-shaped design and a more sportive, robust and masculine look.
