  • 圖錄文章

    Patek Philippe’s reference 130 is without a doubt one of the brand’s landmark vintage models. It subtly merges the "Calatrava" case design - defined by clean, simple, utilitarian lines following the Bauhaus mantra “form follows function” - with the sporty elegance of a chronograph. In production for close to 30 years, reference 130 was made in yellow, pink and white gold and - a minority - in steel with a diverse range of different dial variations.

    One interesting observation to note is that the lugs of the stainless steel version are different from that of all other case materials. They are slightly thicker and shorter in design giving this classic timepiece a more compact, sportier look.

    The present specimen is a highly appealing variation featuring a superb two-tone silvered sector dial cased in stainless steel. It is considered one of the most desirable combinations for collectors. It is interesting to note how sector dials were in fashion for a remarkably short time. They are usually found on watches made during the second decade of the 1930s. It appears that Patek realised a number of sectorial designs, differing from each other in the number of sectors and type of numerals employed. The present design, for example, is known also with applied numerals at 6 and 12 (see lot 30, Phillips Hong Kong, 27 November 2018 ). Furthermore, an identical dial layout (with enameled numerals) happened to break the world record for reference 130 in steel at Phillips Geneva in May 2016. Even counting all different variations, however, sector dials remain as unobtainable as they are attractive: only a few dozens such watches are overall known from the entire auction market.

    The dial is preserved in overall honest and lovely condition, with the hard enamel long signature and scales without losses or signs of restoration. The case as well is in very attractive condition and has not been subjected to careless polishing.

    Offered by the family of the original owner, the present watch was originally delivered to France, the country where it resided its entire life until it was consigned to Phillips for the present sale - fitting as the dial is signed "FAB. SUISSE", denoting that the watch was delivered to France. Having stayed in France for 83 years, it is the first time the watch is leaving the country and back to Switzerland.
