The diameter of the reference 530 never fails to impress, it is certainly one of the most exclusive and attractive classic period watches a connoisseur can aspire to. Examples of such high quality, like the present watch are considered trophies and offer everything watch collectors define as paramount: timeless style, superb mechanics, exclusivity and condition.

Introduced to the market in 1937, it is one of Patek Philippe's rarest chronograph wristwatches. This celebrated model is the larger version of the better known reference 130, Patek Philippe's classic chronograph. Reference 530 however is characterized by its larger diameter overshadowing its smaller sister model by almost 4 mm.
Reference 530 is illustrated in Patek Philippe Wristwatches by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, second edition, p. 265.
