It is always a rare and special event when a superlative example of a steel
vintage Patek Philippe reference 130, one of the finest surviving stainless steel reference 130s fitted with a most beautiful and desirable three-tone 'Sector' or 'Aviator' dial. Made only for a short period of time, sector dials appeared on Patek Philippes chronographs around the mid-1930s.
The present watch which is fully Extract confirmed, is one of only 15 examples so far identified to have survived with this type '1938' sector dial. As most of the known examples have been heavily restored, the present watch, honest and well-preserved can be considered not only as an exemplar of Patek Philippes design, craftsmanship and technological advancement, but also as an important key piece of the reference. This first series steel reference 130 is without doubt a superb and wearable vintage prize for the collector as one of one of the most renowned and iconic chronographs made by Patek Philippe.
