130
130 is a candidate comparator for the supplied Art Deco chronographs label. It does not define every generation or size in the family.
| Specification | Value | Sources and notes |
|---|---|---|
| Case width | 33 mm | Patek Philippe Ref. 130 | Phillips One cited source. One readable model-specific publisher supports this value; scoped to this candidate only. Sources differRef. 130 cases vary by material and production series. Selected figure is the late stainless-steel auction example; the 130A dealer example is 33 mm.
|
| Lug to lug | 41 mm | www.wristorian.com One cited source. Scoped to the documented 130A specimen; 130 case size varies with configuration. The numeric scope follows supplied ref. 130; this observation is from the documented 130A case 626128 specimen. |
| Thickness | 11 mm | www.wristorian.com One cited source. Approximate thickness is explicitly labelled and scoped to the documented 130A specimen. The numeric scope follows supplied ref. 130; this observation is from the documented 130A case 626128 specimen. |
| Lug width | 18 mm | Patek Philippe chronograph ref. 130 | EveryWatch auction record One cited source. Late stainless-steel example says 18 mm between lugs, compared with earlier 19 mm cases. Sources differAuction notes say the late steel version has 18 mm between lugs versus 19 mm on prior cases. This is a reference-level case variation, not a universal dimension.

4072/000J-S-4515
Exact European Watch Company specimen, circa 1952, 18k yellow gold, ref. 4072/000J-S-4515. Its dimensions apply only to this case.
| Specification | Value | Sources and notes |
|---|---|---|
| Case width | 34.5 mm | Vacheron Constantin 4072/000J-S-4515 | European Watch Company One cited source. One body-read specialist dealer gives this exact specimen dimension. |
| Lug to lug | 42.5 mm | Vacheron Constantin ref. 4072, Lot 535 | Antiquorum One cited source. Antiquorum reports Height 42.5 mm and Width 34.5 mm for case 411999, a yellow-gold caliber 492 ref. 4072. Its 2015 record identifies the same case and movement serials, circa 1952, with concave lugs. EWC 29759 matches the circa-1952 34.5 mm yellow-gold caliber 492 configuration, but its serial is masked. The source does not define endpoints; this records its vertical case envelope as the end-to-end span for the matching tonneau case. |
| Thickness | 12 mm | Vacheron Constantin 4072/000J-S-4515 | European Watch Company One cited source. One body-read specialist dealer gives this exact specimen dimension. |
| Lug width | 18 mm | 1940s Vacheron & Constantin ref. 4072 | WatchNet One cited source. WatchNet reports an 18 mm strap fit on a 35 mm yellow-gold ref. 4072. The EWC candidate is a 34.5 mm yellow-gold caliber 492 ref. 4072. The Raconteur listing for a 34 mm rose-gold caliber 492 4072 supports the same fit but is a different case and is not counted as same-configuration corroboration. |
| Case length | Not confirmed | No sourced value selected for this scope. |

Vacheron Constantin Les Collectionneurs ref. 4072, white dial, rose gold, 32 mm case
Delugs identifies one white-dial rose-gold Les Collectionneurs ref. 4072 specimen with a 32 mm case and 18 mm standard lug ends. Keep these fit dimensions on this named specimen only.

VC press archive and auction bodies describe other 4072 cases and give no lug-tip span; none identifies the 32 mm Delugs case. A separate published condition report for a 36 mm yellow-gold 4072 and a seller page for a 34 mm yellow-gold 4072 do not identify the Delugs watch; neither reports its lug-tip span. |

Sources and unconfirmed details
- The exact Delugs 32 mm white-dial rose-gold specimen still has no published lug-tip span or thickness. VC and auction bodies identify other 4072 specimens, but no case serial links them to this watch.
