With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with silvered dial, raised Breguet hour markers in gold and tachometer scale in 1944 and its subsequent sale on 20 August 1945.

The production of reference 130 was launched in 1934. The model was produced in different precious metal versions as well as in stainless steel (please see lots xxxx, xxxx, xxxx and xxxx). Examples with Breguet numerals, such as this watch, are not only rare but in terms of looks probably the most exciting and seducing combination. Specimens, like the present, where the Extracts of Patek Philippe's Archives confirm the original Breguet numeral dial are close to impossible finds.
