Together with the Annual Calendar Chronograph Ref. 5905/1A-001 and the Perpetual Calendar Chronograph Ref. 5204R-011 that we presented last week, Patek Philippe also introduced the World Time Chronograph Ref. 5930P-001, a new version in platinum with green dial of the model that was premiered in 2016 in white gold with blue dial (you can see it here).

The inspiration for integrating a world-time complication into a chronograph came from a Patek Philippe wristwatch from 1940, the reference 1415-1 HU that is now exhibited at the Patek Philippe Museum (Inv. P996), a one-of-a-kind piece probably crafted for a physician.

The Patek Philippe World Time Wristwatch with Chronograph and Pulsometer Scale Reference 1415-1 HU housed in a 41 mm yellow case - 1940

Measuring 39.5 mm x 12.86 mm, the entirely hand-polished platinum case is set with a diamond at 6 o'clock and features the winglet lugs typical of 1940s-1950s World Time watches. It is water resistant to 30 metres / 100 feet.

The green centre of the dial is characterised by a circular hand-guilloched pattern interrupted only by the white-gold index markers and the snailed 30-minute counter of the flyback chronograph. 

The 24-hour ring, which continuously rotates counterclockwise, also serves as a day/night indicator. It has bright numerals on a dark background and a moon symbol for the nocturnal hours as well as dark numerals on a bright background and a sun symbol for the daylight hours.

The names of the cities are printed in green on the corresponding disk. The World Time function simultaneously displays the time in 24 time zones, with an exclusive patented mechanism enabling correction of all displays by pressing the 10 o’clock pusher.

Visible through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback, the self-winding Caliber CH 28‑520 HU is equipped with a column wheel and a modern disk-type vertical clutch. The central chronograph hand can be used as a permanent (running) seconds display without affecting the movement accuracy or power reserve and with minimal wear and tear. 

The flyback function makes it possible to instantly restart a timing operation by just pressing the pusher at 4 o'clock whether the central hand is already performing a chronograph operation or it is being used as a running seconds display.

Completed by a bottle green alligator strap with a platinum fold-over clasp, the new Patek Philippe World Time Chronograph Ref. 5930P-001 has a price of Euro 88,910. patek.com
