When I open Panel Preferences -> Items -> Clock -> Edit the currently 
selected item, the defaults are:

   Time Settings
     Timezone            <blank>
   Appearance
     Layout              Digital
     Tooltip format      Custom Format
   Clock Options
     Format              Custom Format

Nothing:

2017-08-11 21:43:27 dpchrist@tinkywinky ~
$ find . -name .xfce4-session.verbose-log
./.xfce4-session.verbose-log

2017-08-11 21:43:34 dpchrist@tinkywinky ~
$ grep -i clock .xfce4-session.verbose-log
