Notes

Ref. 530 Production of this reference began in 1938 and lasted approximately 15 years. Due to the size of the watch, which was not fashionable at the time, production was limited to only a few examples, in yellow gold, pink gold, and stainless steel. A similar watch is published in "Patek Philippe Wristwatches", by Martin Huber and Alan Banbery, 1998, p. 262.
