Essay

The reference 130 launched from 1934 until 1964 is perhaps arguably one of the most iconic wristwatches produced by Patek Philippe combining the "Calatrava" style case with the chronographic feature. The movement is powered by a modified Valjoux movement, calibre 13 130, so as the 13 lignes movement could be housed in the reference 130 case.
