they all bring something fresh to the table... I do like the new guillouche work on the blue but not completely convinced with the all blue appearance against the outer ring... I would perhaps wish for something more like the 5110P but perhaps that would have been too easy... It looks overall as a most elegant timepiece and a welcome addition against the 5230G and R.
as for the 5231G, I would first like to mention I am a touch disappointed with Patek for having continued with the map themes immediately after discontinuing the 5131 series. I think it takes away from the 5131 series a lot and would have wished an enamel 5231 series would have been with something other than world maps even though I understand the world time theme makes sense to have a map. But perhaps trains, planes and automobiles? Or some other travel theme? As for the 5231G otherwise it looks like a nice piece but personally I would pick a 5131G over this, primarily as I prefer the original map version and case.
as for the 5930P I have not yet seen this in the metal, but really admire the bold green chosen. The 5930G in blue was a very cool sporty elegant piece in my opinion and this green is top cool. Out of these 3 releases easily my personal favorite. I did also like the Singapore red version that was sold in limited quantities not long ago. Overall I like how Patek is moving the non sport collections closer towards the tastes of a new generation of buyers with bolder color combinations. The 5270P in particular with its strong green as well as this 5930P. Well done on this front Patek.
