Catalogue Note
Accompanied by an Extract from the Archives confirming production in 1947 and sale on December 10th, 1948. The Extract further confirms that the watch left the factory with applied gold Breguet numerals.
Featuring Breguet numerals, the present watch is also notable for its lack of tachometer scale. The lack of tachometer scale creates a clean dial with an apparent larger surface area and enlarged subsidiary dials. The result is an appearance quite different from that seen in the standard reference 130.
A similar watch is illustrated in Negretti, G., De Vecchi, P., Patek Philippe, 1999, p.96-97.
