Anyone have one?

I have an opportunity to get one but don't know much about it.

I’m lukewarm on that reference...I prefer manual wind chronos

Awesome watch. Love it to bits. Would've liked it to be a little thinner though. Here's a pic!

It is a 5930. I tried one on. I like it but have not purchased. The 30 min chrono dial is small so not optimal chrono. I do like the guilloche dial.
I have been considering various world timers and have not found one that meets my needs or wants at this point. Personally, I my favorite at this point is the VC overseas world timer but the dial is a bit too busy and hard to read the hour and dial markers.

I tried one in Oslo about a month ago. It is true that the dial is small, but the watch feels great on the wrist. Blue color of the dial is very beautiful. The watch was in the shopping window and immediately brought my attention. I cannot comment on its capabilities as world time watch

I think it’s a beautiful watch! Just not for me, and I have 0 use for the complications.

I have one. It wears a little small for a 39mm which is good for me as I have small wrists. The “blue” is not as bright in person as it shows in the pics. I love it. Btw you run the chrono full time and use it as a second hand - Patek recomends you do this.

5930 has an interesting combination of the WT and the chrono. The luminescent hands make it a bit sporty. However it is a bit thick, especially with the automatic chrono. It seems like they are readily available at many ADs, so a discount should be possible.

Good legibility. Nice guilloche. Lume and nice casual feel versus the dressier 5230. Chrono is small and useless...but as a complication (chrono) that goes for all of them. Price is soft and some spotted in AD's. I think it was cheaper than a 5170G though. Vertical clutch is nice and allows for seconds hand and love tbe fact its not manual wind
