The new Patek Philippe World Time Flyback Chronograph reference 5930P-001 is a new version in platinum with a green dial and a green alligator strap. Inspired by a one-of-a-kind model from 1940, this new reference 5930 combines two functions: a self-winding flyback chronograph and World Time. Initially, this model was launched in 2016 in a white gold version with a blue dial and matching strap.
Patek Philippe reinterprets this timepiece with a sporty and cosmopolitan spirit in a new version combining the brilliance of platinum with a green dial and a green strap. A combination of classicism and boldness reinforces the personality of this cult model.
The names of the cities are printed in green on the corresponding disk. The green dial center illustrates the mastery of fine craftsmanship skills with a circular hand-guilloched circular pattern. This color is picked up at 6 o'clock on the snailed 30-minute counter. The applied hour-markers and the faceted dauphine-type hands in white gold are highlighted by a luminescent coating ensuring good legibility in all circumstances. The entirely hand-polished platinum case is set with a diamond at 6 o'clock. It features the "wing-type" lugs typical of the 1940s-1950s World Time watches.
As calibre CH 28-520 HU is equipped with a column wheel and the modern disk-type vertical clutch, the central chronograph hand can also be used as a permanent running seconds display —thus ensuring minimal wear and tear and without affecting the movement accuracy or power reserve. The 4 o'clock pusher enables instant restarting of a timing operation when the central hand is already performing an operation "flyback" function or is being used as a permanent running seconds display.
The World Time function simultaneously displays the time in 24 time zones. When changing time zones, an exclusive patented mechanism enables correction of all displays by pressing the 10 o'clock pusher, without affecting the accuracy of the movement. The new Patek Philippe World Time Flyback Chronograph ref. 5930P-001 is delivered on a shiny bottle green alligator strap with a platinum fold-over clasp and is joining the white gold version with a blue dial ref. 5930G-010.
