Throwback Thursday: Patek Philippe Reference 530 ‘Staybrite’

With vintage watches, the value is often a numbers game. It is an equation that combines desirability with rarity. When it comes to the first you can hardly do any better than Patek Philippe. For the latter, not even all rare watches are created equal. Some were just produced in small numbers, while others may have unique features that set them apart from the rest. In the case of this Reference 530, it is a combination of those two aspects that make it so very special.
