Thanks a lot for sharing yours, Martin.
Blue is a more familiar color than green and the fact that the city ring is also blue, like the guilloché center of the dial, gives the watch a more unified and “casual” and sporty look.
So I agree with you that the P is perhaps not as much in tune with the sporty nature of this watch. Or maybe I should just say that's a dressier take on this reference.

Hands-on with the ref. 5930P-001
Last December , during a visit to the Patek Philippe Salon, the sales advisor suggested I should try on this platinum World Time Flyback Chronograph , ref. 5930P-001 . I know that some find the 30-minute counter at 6 o'clock too small and misplaced , even...
Yes, I know, and I mentioned that feeling, which I know you share, in the post.
But, as I wrote, the thickness bothers me more than the sub-counter, personally. And I much prefer the 5110 anyway, or even more so other pieces like the Golden Ellipse or even the 5160/500R-001.
Brilliant post, and what a timepiece!!!
I agree about its thickness in proportion to the case, and the chronograph counter appearing almost lost within the dial, but what an outstanding case chiselled to perfection! The movement is beautifully large and so a case under 40, with both a WT and ch...
I fully understand your enthusiasm.
This watch has an undeniable appeal. Best, Emmanuel
A lot of love here for the 5930G
Thanks Emmanuel for the sharing of your experience. I love the combination of worldtimer and chronograph, both are at the heart of PP. My personal preference is for the G version, as for me blue works much better here, the dail looks larger, more integrat...

It is really eye-catching in person, no doubt about it!
Thanks for chiming in. Best, Emmanuel
Hi Emmanuel, the 5930P looks great on your wrist !
Given its excellent guolliche dial with lovely green color, how does this piece compare to shaped watches ?
Thank you, Gordon. This watch is appealing,
no doubt about it, but it’s not the kind which deeply resonates with me. Too sporty for my taste. And I find shaped watches often (but not always) particularly interesting and appealing. Best, Emmanuel
Thanks for the great post, Emmanuel.
I love the 5930. I might prefer the blue or red G, but this P is very attractive as well.
This P version is dressier than the blue or red G,
which is less in tune with the sporty size and complication. But in person it's still really appealing. Best, Emmanuel
