Reference 533 was first made in 1937 and remained in production until 1957. In the succession of Patek Philippe chronographs, its closest relative is reference 130, which was introduced already in 1930. Both models have the typical, early rectangular chronograph pushers and similarly shaped cases; both come equipped with the same calibre 13-130. The one distinguishing feature is the bezel which is flat on reference 533, whereas the bezel on reference 130 is concave. A little more than 300 examples of the reference 533 were produced according to our research.
The present example has been retained in attractive condition with crisp hallmarks and is offered with a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming its pink dial and production in the year 1941.
