Notes

Ref. 530 According to information provided by Patek Philippe, Ref. 530 is a reference for a chronograph of large dimensions. The certificate for the present watch describes it as a Ref. 530 in stainless steel, with bezel in 18K pink gold, a silvered dial, and pink gold bâton indexes. This is the first time we have seen this reference used for a large watch without chronograph. The present watch would therefore appear to be the only Ref. 530 in pink gold and stainless steel and without chronograph, to appear on the market.
