Launched in 1934, the reference 130 is powered by the modified Valjoux movement cal. 13, and easily recognizable due to its slightly curved, elongated lugs and thin, concave bezel. The model was extremely successful and remained in production until at least 1964. Even though it was manufactured for close to 30 years, output was quite limited, resulting in a total of about 1,500 pieces produced. It was offered in yellow gold, pink gold, and stainless steel (though other metals or combinations of metals have been used for special request pieces).

The present example in yellow gold features a well-preserved case that retains its pleasing hallmark on its gold caseband. Manufactured by Emile Vichet signified by the number 9 inside a key stamped to the inner case back, the satin brushed finishing is in excellent condition. Charmingly aged into an almost ‘champagne’ hue dial, the raised hard enamel that covers the signature and the scales are vivid and strong. Underscoring its rarity and allure, the signature of Trust Joyero elevates this timepiece as a double-signed specimen from 1950. It was one of only a very select few firms privileged enough to be allowed to put their name on a Patek Philippe dial. The Spanish retailer was originally based in Madrid and later emigrated to Argentina, Buenos Aires after 1936.
