Saw the actual piece at an AD over the weekend. Looks so much better in real life. The major plus is actual watch has a darker tone of blue compared to the light blue looking dial in the 2016 catalog. The straps is in an even darker blue. Suggest PP correct the big discrepancy in the blue tone of the catalog or press release. Doesn't do justice to such an exquisite watch.

I love it! I think Patek have got this just right, a classic complication with a twist and a modern dial design. Spot on!

For this time of complication, I would go with the Timezone from Lange (I know its note the exactly the same complication plus no chrono but still) before this, even tough this is my favorite World-time for Patek

Bumping this thread from 2016. It seems that the enthusiasm for the 5930 has since dispersed a bit. Do you agree? It's not exactly a big hit these days. Wonder what’s everyone’s current views on the 5930. I like it...

Seems like the same trend for many Modern Patek unfortunately. Hot and limited for 12 months and then suddenly available... oh well.

As to the watch, I like it. The dial is sick and not that busy in person. Would I buy on? No probably not. Best

I would buy a WT chrono if they squeeze it into a Nautilus case. Make that blue dial also, thanks.

Chrono pretty useless complication but it's a really nice casual WT for those into that complication.
