It is very rare to find such stainless steel chronograph watches with yellow gold Breguet numerals on the dial and white gold hands. It is interesting to note that the lugs of the stainless steel model are slightly different from the yellow, pink or white gold ones. Their slightly thicker but shorter shape gives the watch a more sportive design.
Ref. 130. Production of this reference started in 1934. It was made in stainless steel, yellow gold and pink gold; only three are known in white gold. It is one of the most desirable and sought-after sport watches ever created by the Patek Philippe firm. Sophisticated collectors appreciate this model?s perfect proportions, its large and clearly-read dial, encircled by a slender, concave bezel which gives the dial an even greater luminosity. It is very rare to find a chronograph with a single button. Reference 130 usually has one button at 2 o'clock and another at 4 o'clock. Only a very few examples were made with a single button on the crown. This reference was first used with Victorin Piguet ebauches, and later with Lemania ebauches. To date, one example is known of a single-button chronograph with Ref. 130, which features an experimental 12??? movement. Reference 130 was made with either Breguet numerals, Roman, Arabic, or mixed numerals.
