Notes

Dial, case and movement signed. DIAM. 33 mm. THICKNESS 11 mm. Consigned by the son of the original owner, this fresh to the market REFERENCE 130 has remained in the same family since its original purchase. Last overhauled by PATEK PHILIPPE in 2003, the watch has remained unused since. The case and the lugs still show great THICKNESS (steel versions originally had thicker lugs to start off with), the dial has remained in excellent condition still showing nicely raised enamel to the writing as well as to the tracks, a truly beautiful example of a reference 130. Property of the Original French Family
