5905...
It's an interesting hybrid between ref. 5960 and ref. 5205. I especially adore the dial and lugs of ref. 5905, but I can't avoid thinking about its dimensions, because it's rather thick (14mm) and wide (42mm) - without an apparent purpose since it's offering fewer complications.
But I'm still allured by ref. 5905, even though I have a ref. 5960p-016. However, I'd wish that Patek went for a more "exclusive" caseback for such a high-end piece (within in their collection of complicated watches).

Wearing 5905P - first impressions
First of all, I will send much better pictures when I get the time. It has been said many times that the sub-dial of 5905P is too thickly printed. Rubbish! One picture lies more than 1,000 words. In reality this one-hour dial looks good and balanced on th...
Congratulations and nice to get the real info 5905p
Hi Kari, Would like to congratulate on your latest surprise 5905P (although as anticipated by you vide earlier posts) which looks cool in black dial. You are right to say after feeling it in REAL rather in REEL on hour counter and so on. For me it will be...
I understand that you order blue.
It's really cool. In my case 6 blue dial PP is a lot and when I checked my orders, one more blue dial will come Q1/2016 and one Q1/2017. If I would have taken also 5905P in blue, this colour would have been nearly the dominant dial colour of my Pateks. Be...
Congrats on a magnificent piece.
Dial readability seems pretty good from your picture. How do you experience it? I have not had the opportunity to handle this but find with many complicated black dial Pateks that reading time is hard in many angles or light settings.... As for your quest...
I find the readability okay
but it must be even better with the blue dial. Anyhow, no real problems. The strength of 5905P compared to 5960 is the readability of the chronograph. Furthermore, I like the fact that the annual calendar is well readable but having a quick look at the di...
A manly watch......Has some serious
wrist more congratulation Kari for a lovely piece. Enjoy it in the best of health. Best, Ahmed
Thanks Ahmed.
I agree, this watch requires a decent size of wrist. Mine is just 8 inches and I could not take anything bigger - this feels still very good. Best, Kari
Interesting owner feedback
As a new reference presented this year, owner's opinion are rare, to say the least. Regarding its new proportions (42mm wide), making a comfortable watch (as you told us in multiple occasions) is very important too. I personally love 2 things in particula...
True, the silver rings
make the dial very interesting and sophisticated. The problem with photographs is that they are normally taken from down at 6 o'clock - especially the wrist shots. That angle makes the sub-dial look bigger and the print heavier than what it actually is. B...
True.
Pictures don't capture the light and colors as they look in the real but they increase the details too much and may create flwas which do not really exist. That's why I always have a try even if something doesn't seem to suit me at first. Cheers, Mark
True, true, true
That's why I have organised to test PP Pilot's in the beginning of December. I do not like it but my dislike is based on conservatism and pictures. I would be stupid and limited if I would not give the watch a chance. Best, Kari
Great
Thanks and please share some more pictures when you can. I have not had the chance to see a 5905 in the metal. What are your impressions regarding the thickness of the case, especially considering that you own much slimmer cased PP watches? From the pictu...
Yes, 5905P is thick
but not very thick. Many chronographs, especially the self winding ones, are as thick or thicker. Still, on top of being a chronograph, 5905P is also an annual calendar. Taking into account the complications, the watch is not thick at all and the 42 mm si...

Yes, 5205 is really nice.
If it will one day appear in steel or platinum with the right dial, my order book will grow with one watch. Best, Kari
