Patek Philippe

Ref. 5930G-010

A fine, rare and unusual white gold automatic world time chronograph wristwatch with certificate of origin and presentation box

Read Conditions of Sale
- The reference 5930 merges two of Patek Philippe’s most coveted and desirable complications: a world time with a chronograph. Patek Philippe has a long history with world time watches. It was in fact one of the very first brands to embrace this complication as early as the beginning of the 1930s. Three vintage references were serially produced until the early 1960s, then no more world time wristwatch left Patek Philippe workshops until the 1990s. The reference was then rediscovered and has since been present in the Patek Philippe catalogue and has carved itself a special place in the hearts of Patek Philippe collectors.

- The present watch strikes the beholder with its elegant dial. A discreet silver fixed ring with the chronograph fifth of a second divisions has been added between the mobile city and 24-hour rings, and the 30 minutes counter is placed at 6 o’clock. In a final touch of sophistication, the central disc of the dial is decorated with a superbly executed guilloché pattern.

- Preserved in excellent condition, the 5930 offers a unique mix of complications. It is offered with its Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated May 29, 2019, hang tag, product literature, presentation box and outer packaging.

Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
