I can't disagree anymore...
Thanks for your analysis on 5960...It is really an important milestone in Patek history!
Frankly, as far as I observed, most people bought this watch in a flipped price during the "hot days" in 2008...Thank God, there is cooling on the Patek fever in recent days, which gives us a chance to get this important horological piece in reasonable price.
Cheers!
5960 Epiphany
Image above from post by WatchFan1, linked here: patek.watchprosite.com I've had an epiphany about the 5960 in the last few days I'd like to share. By way of backstory, I'd like to state a few things for the record first. Many of us begin journeys lasting...
Wonderful post
Love an opinion stated strongly and supported with horological and other experience. You make me want to order both a PT and RG 5960 tomorrow, though not sure I agree with your thought that the 5960 will be such an icon of this era. But I do agree now is ...
Truly spoken from the heart...
Thank you for the genuine discussion about your favorite watches. It was a pleasure to read your post. I found myself agreeing to every aspect! (Although, personally, I'm not sure I'd jog wearing a watch). I sincerely hope to meet more people like yoursel...

You made my day, nothing but time
I absolutely love this kind of veeery refreshing post. Reading that you live with your watches, that you share every moment of your life with them is just GREAT. And can't agree more with you, as I do the same even ( or should I write especially ) with my...
I'm very pleased...
to here the relative soul tale. All you told about your joy of watches speaks to me and I'm happy to know that there are people who loves to wear their watches like me. Real passion is not to be closed in safe it's to give enjoy!
What a lovely and very refreshing post................
Thankyou for putting "Paper to pen" so to speak. I found your comments very uplifting. Although, like a couple of the other members I couldn't believe that you go swimming with some of the greatest complicated timepieces going!! But then again that is why...
I hope that we get more posts like this.
You are an inspiration! Certainly a watch enthusiast with definitive passion and taste, with the means to perpetuate that true hunger for artistic beauty.
Please, please...
Hi, Please don't swim with watchfan1's paintings! Thank you for sharing your true love with us, and goign the frenziness of the last years about the 5970 (a gorgeous watch by the way). The 5960 is indeed a very modern offer that is IMVHO both beautiful an...
great post
I agree with you on the 5960. I've been lucky enough to be able to wear some of Patek's modern Icons (5102,5101,5970, ect) and yet the one I find myself longing for is the 5960R. I saw it for the first time in person last week and it was instant love. At ...
straps,water etc.
Thanks sincerely to all. I wear the straps that came with them. Crocodiles live in the water after all Over time (6-9 mos of wet wear) the sides of straps fray and you need to replace the strap. At that time I have the watch polished at my local AD, they ...
Nice interpretation of a Roosevelt quote there...
There's a limit to the water resistance of a watch. For instance, a watch may be depth rated to 30 meters, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you can swim in 3 meters of water with it on. Why? The turbulence caused by your arm moving in the water exer...
Life is but a Slim Aarons book, the object of my affection glistening in the late-day sun.
Sunsets are just sunsets without watches Going... Goooinngg Almost there... and... gone...
I'm not going to call it rose gold anymore...
It should really be called "sunset gold" from now on! Very nice!
Awesome! It's one of the most poetic posts I have ever seen on this forum!
Thank you very much! You inspire me for next steps in PP collecting.
