Patek Philippe’s reference 130 is most definitely one of the firm’s most known and appreciated vintage chronograph models. First released in 1934, the watch was in production until 1964 with its case deriving from the Bauhaus-designed reference 96. By the 1930’s, the growing demand from its clientele compelled Patek Philippe to introduce caliber 13-130, using the Valjoux chronograph cal.13.

Being in production for nearly 30 years the reference 130 was produced in yellow and pink gold, as well as in stainless steel with a number of dial variations. From the total production during the 30 years, fewer where cased in pink gold, and even fewer where fitted with a pink dial. As one would expect from a watch made from 1949, this exquisite example features raised gold indexes, along with all printing present on the dial.
