The Patek Philippe reference 130 is one of the brand’s most iconic chronographs, produced from 1934 to the 1960s, and admired for its elegant 33mm proportions and timeless design. The present example is exceptionally rare, featuring a stainless steel and pink gold case—a configuration seen in fewer than twenty known auction appearances. Unlike standard versions, it has shorter, thicker lugs, enhancing its distinct presence. Its dial, like many 130s, reflects the reference's rich diversity in style and execution. The present Patek Philippe reference 130 features a stunning two-tone dial with a tachymeter scale, gold baton and Arabic numerals, and the correct long Patek, Philippe & Co. signature. What sets it apart is the rare and highly coveted Hausmann & Co. retailer signature, one of Italy’s most prestigious watch retailers since 1794. This rare detail elevates the watch’s desirability, further enhanced by its outstanding provenance and documentation, including an Extract from the Archives and a letter confirming its original sale through Hausmann. This timepieces is not merely a remarkable example of one of Patek Philippe’s most legendary chronographs yet a time capsule of horological excellence.
