Patek Philippe 5960 Blue Dial Acquisition

Key Points from the Discussion

• Custom straps for the Patek Philippe 5960 can be ordered from nostime.com, with options to specify thickness and include quick-release bars for easy changing.
• When choosing between the Patek Philippe 5960A white dial and the 5960G blue dial, factors like formality for wear and the aesthetic appeal of a metal bracelet versus a leather strap influence decisions.
• The white gold blue dial version of the 5960 features more rounded, textured pushers, which some collectors prefer over the stainless steel version's pushers.
• A strategy for acquiring watches is to buy them with a metal bracelet, as it is easier to switch to a leather strap than the reverse.
• The sub-dial of the Patek Philippe 5960 is perceived by some as having too much information in a limited space.
