PATEK PHILIPPE CHRONOGRAPH, REF 130, 18K YELLOW GOLD - From 1950 Reference N° 130 Serial N° 699997 Year: 1950 Material: 18k yellow gold Weight: 46g Dimensions: 33mm Calibre: Manual Crystal: Plexiglass Bracelet: Leather with original 18k yellow gold buckle Accessories: Original box The reference 130 was first launched in 1934 and remained in production until at least 1964. This chronograph perfectly captures the spirit of traditional watchmaking and represents the elegance and precision of Patek Philippe. Its case derives from the Bauhaus-designed reference 96 and was produced in many variations and metals. It is considered one of the most iconic and sought-after models made by Patek Philippe. This model, in excellent case and mechanical condition, with a slightly patinated and probably restored dial, is a splendid example of a Patek Philippe chronograph with at least 70 years of history.
