I noticed how the watch caught the setting sun
The Patek Philippe Complications reference 5960A, introduced in stainless steel, represents a significant offering within the brand's annual calendar chronograph series. This particular reference is notable for being the first annual calendar chronograph from Patek Philippe to be offered in a non-precious metal, making it a distinctive piece in the Complications collection. It combines practical complications with a robust case material, appealing to collectors seeking a blend of utility and horological complexity.
This reference features a 40.5mm stainless steel case, housing the self-winding Caliber CH 28-520 QA 24H. The movement provides a power reserve of approximately 55 hours and is visible through a sapphire crystal case back. The dial is presented in white, protected by a sapphire crystal, and the watch is water-resistant to 30 meters. The integrated stainless steel bracelet complements the case material, providing a cohesive aesthetic.
The 5960A in stainless steel holds a specific position for collectors due to its material choice and the integrated bracelet, differentiating it from its precious metal counterparts. Its combination of an annual calendar and chronograph functions, along with the 24-hour indication, makes it a highly functional and mechanically interesting timepiece. The special hand set and case back decoration mentioned for this specific 5960A further emphasize its unique attributes within the production run.
Playing with yours removed the last doubt. Itβs a really easy watch to wear due to the steel case. Now I just have to convince you how great the bracelet is ππ
you also try switching it with the straps? i feel the watch is more pronounced with the bracelet. Best, mahesh.,
Its not bad but I prefer the bracelet.
Ive noticed that the price on the black has gone up in the last six months but it is still doable. I dont follow the prices on the white so I cant comment on that.
Yes only one year for the black. It was a bit of a strange way PP handled it.. It was launched at Basel 2017. My PP dealer send me a picture of it and asked if it was something for me. I wanted to see it before buying so I said, perhaps... Then came Basel 2018 and the watch was on the runoff list without ever having hit the market. Shortly after the first pieces came out. My dealer only ever got one.
discontinued piece ! BTW, the black dial is also attractive ! Enjoy it often !
