World time with seconds

I have wanted to buy a Patek world time for years now, however the one thing holding me back has been the lack of a seconds hand. Being able to see seconds is very important to me and I was wondering if anyone knows of a past Patek world time with seconds or perhaps could suggest a good world time alternative?

On a world time watch, a seconds hand would be superfluous imho

For my line of work, I do procedures that require precise timing and enjoy using my Patek Phillipe for this. I need to know seconds. For me it would not be superfluous as not having a seconds hand is a deal breaker for me buying a watch.

OP I’m in the same boat regarding the need the measure seconds. Admittedly I have no interest whatsoever in a world timer though. Ha e you considered a chronograph?

The 5930g may work given the chrono function

More than seconds or date it needs a simple daylight savings time indicator... I sold my beautiful 5110J because half the year it was showing the incorrect time in parts of the world. Patek arguably makes the nicest world timer watches ... unfortunately not the most practical ones

In your opinion, how do the Patek world times compare to the Vacheron Constantin world times?

I have never seen on in the metal but the dial, in images, looks incredibly busy and the color scheme reminds me of a cheap class room plastic globe from my childhood in the early 90s. Patek WT dials nicely balanced and easy to read
