This wristwatch reference 130 dates from 1941 and is without doubt one of the most desirable collector's pieces from the elegant Patek Philippe chronograph range. The reference was first produced in 1934 in different models (yellow, rose and white gold, steel; as double pusher and, in rare cases, single pusher chronographs). The most beautifully elegant variant is probably this pink gold model with its combination of a salmon-coloured dial and blued chronograph hands.
Surely this is a piece that makes the heart of any experienced collector beat faster - the original condition of the watch with its charmingly aged pink gold dial, the slightly raised enamel scales and inscriptions as well as the clearly visible punch marks is indeed a rare stroke of luck.
