Known as one of the most elusive chronographs the reference 530 has always attracted collectors due to its impressive presence of 36.5 mm. Launched in 1937 this example is one of the first manufactured as it was manufactured in 1938. Inherited over 30 years ago by a Swiss family it has been kept since that time unused in the safe. Its excellent condition is reflected by the two crisp hallmarks on the side of the case and its thick and imposing lugs. With its movement number indicating one of the earliest serials known in the 530 family and retailed by Astrua and never offered on the auction market a perfect combination for the Patek Philippe collector.
