Patek Philippe Complications 5930P-001 – World Time Flyback Chronograph
The Patek Philippe 5930P-001 is a masterfully engineered watch that blends globe-trotting functionality with high-end chronograph performance. Expertly crafted in platinum, this timepiece stands at the intersection of elegance, complexity, and utility—ideal for the discerning collector or frequent traveler.
Case
Design
The watch is housed in a 39.5 mm platinum case, which gives it both gravitas and refinement. A subtle but telling detail is the small diamond set into the case flank at 6 o’clock, a signature touch for some of Patek’s platinum models. The case is approximately 12.86 mm thick, balancing robust construction with an elegant wrist presence. It features a sapphire crystal case back, allowing a view into the finely finished movement.
Dial
Aesthetic Features
The dial is a rich hand-guilloched opaline green, showcasing Patek Philippe’s mastery in decorative techniques. The world time cities ring is printed in a corresponding green hue. Applied white-gold baguette hour markers and dauphine hands (coated with luminescent material) maintain clarity across the dial. The combination of green tones, guilloché texture, and precious platinum gives the watch a distinctive yet refined presence.
Functions
Movement
At its heart is the Caliber CH 28-520 HU, a self-winding movement that integrates both a flyback chronograph and a world time complication. The world time feature displays the 24 time zones simultaneously, while the chronograph allows for timing events instantly with its flyback function. The movement runs at 4 Hz (28,800 vph), includes 38 jewels, and offers a power reserve between 50 and 55 hours. The rotor is made from 21k gold and winds efficiently. Adjusting time zones without stopping the watch is seamless and precise.
Strap
Comfort
Complementing the green dial is a shiny bottle-green alligator leather strap, hand-stitched and finished with a platinum fold-over clasp. This strap selection amplifies the watch’s elegance while ensuring comfort and security for daily wear.

Why 5930P-001 Stands Out
This model stands out by combining two highly desirable complications—world time and flyback chronograph—into a single, elegant platinum package. The choice of green guilloché dial, the finishing quality of the movement, and the refined aesthetics make it more than a travel watch—it’s a luxurious technical statement. For collectors who want a complication watch that is both wearable and distinguished, the 5930P-001 is a compelling option.
