  • 圖錄文章

    There are certain elements that individually add to a vintage timepiece’s rarity and desirability: a prestigious maker, a large diameter, a pink gold case, a two-tone dial, the signature of a distinguished retailer or Breguet numerals to name just a few.

    Imagine a single timepiece that merges all these elements into one, resulting in what is most probably one of the most beautiful vintage chronographs to have ever graced a human wrist, and you obtain the present Patek Philippe reference 530.

    Launched in 1937, Patek Philippe’s reference 530 remains one of the rarest and largest vintage chronograph models manufactured by the firm, its large 36.5mm diameter being as relevant today as it was 80 years ago.

    The present pink gold reference 530 is not only extremely rare per se but it is one of only two known models to feature Breguet numerals (as confirmed by the Extract from the Archives). The other model nevertheless is housed in yellow gold (with a movement number only 2 numbers apart from the present model and sold by Phillips in May 2017) making this timepiece truly unique.

    Adding even greater desirability to this timepiece is the Hausmann & Co. signature on the lower section of the dial. Founded in Rome in 1794 by Ernst Hausmann and Hermann Frielingsdorf, Hausmann & Co. is one of Patek Philippe's most prominent retailers in Italy.

    The unrestored dial has developed a charismatic patina with shades of vanilla in its center. The enamel signature is crisp, with the comma and accent on the E of Genève present. The case is full and retains its original proportions, highlighted by the sharp edges of the lugs and the crisp hallmarks.

    Fresh to the market, this incredibly attractive and rare Patek Philippe reference 530 is made of the same fabric that dreams are made of and will certainly be a crown jewel in any collection.
