“Ref. 530” Patek Philippe & Cie, Genève, "Calatrava", No. 922696, case No. 507791. Ref. 530. Produced in 1942, sold on December 17, 1942. Very fine and probably unique, stainless steel "Staybrite" and 18K pink gold gentleman's wristwatch with an extra stainless steel articulated adjustable bracelet. Accompanied by the Extract from the Archives. Three-body, two-tone, polished and brushed, pink gold flat bezel and winding crown, concave steel lugs and case. Matte silver with applied pink gold bâton indexes and radial Roman numerals. Pink gold "bâton" hands. Notes Ref. 530 According to information provided by Patek Philippe, Ref. 530 is a reference for a chronograph of large dimensions. The certificate for the present watch describes it as a Ref. 530 in stainless steel, with bezel in 18K pink gold, a silvered dial, and pink gold bâton indexes. This is the first time we have seen this reference used for a large watch without chronograph. The present watch would therefore appear to be the only Ref. 530 in pink gold and stainless steel and without chronograph, to appear on the market.
