Patek Philippe

Honors to the novelty, the new Patek automatic Chronograph Annual Calendar, the 5905 P: The case is 1, 5 mm bigger than the 5960, the dial has been redesigned, the hands are differently shaped, as well as the pushers. While I love, and prefer the pushers ...  

Nicholas, Thank you for posting the lovely photos and your opinions, with which I almost entirely agree. We differ only on whether the grey dial 5960P beats the blue or black, a matter of taste to be sure. You are more certain in your taste than I, as I l... 

I love timing my trips by car. And I am lost after a while if the Chrono doesn't have the hour hand. And I well remember that it is an important point for you, as you mention it for years. I remember one of our discussions in Paris, about that matter, too... 

And I also have a solution... However, it takes some time to implement. I bought the watch yesterday and the needed parts are ordered. I must admit that the looks of the bracelet don't turn me on. At the same time I must say that it is the most comfortabl... 

getting some help from friends. Best Kari

It is as usual difficult to know but it seems the 5905 is a mix of the 5960 and 5205 of course but there is still a 5960 reference in the catalogue (is it the last one I don't know). We often have discussions about "why did they make this watch or that on... 

hi Mark, My 2 cents on this issue, 5960A was a new thing in Patek catalogue, daily version, automatic, more affordable, slightly less complicated than the 5970. It felt like a friendly approach of the 5970, entry level for higher complication, and targeti... 

we all have our views on design. However, the 5960 and 5905 are really close and the comparision is natural. Time will tell what will become of the 5960 line. In a way I like when something ends while still beeing looked for :) Thanks for your view on thi... 

There is no need for Patek to get two of the same so close. Ok, there was the Nautilus 5980, but it was not an annual calendar. Here the two refs are so close that, for me it is clearly a replacement. Best, Nicolas

... i saw it already. I agree with what you said about the 5960A bracelet. They took a hard road. Think about it, how many nice bracelet there are out there? IMO I can count only 3-4 : Ap royal oak, nautilus, rolex (oyster and president). As for the compa... 

Amanico said about the comparison. That comparison has been on my mind for the past month back and forth. I had my name on the 5905 waiting list,But I still can't get over the grey dialed 5960P.Now I am regretting that I didn't buy it while it was still i... 

Absolutely agree on your observations about the 5905 dial. I find the 5960 more coherent. Best, Nicolas

Curious how they treated the part between the lugs. But hey, if it is the price to pay to have it on a strap... Best, Nicolas

Beautiful strap, may I ask where you had it made? Life would be so much easier if Patek dropped 21mm lugs for 20mm…. so many more strap options at 20

Strap. Best, Nicolas

but far costlier and fewer materials and textures to choose from generally. Suppose it requires more thought but for accessories impulse buys are generally more fun!

Hi all, I apologize if the last post was textless. Insomnia at night and responded quickly to try to sleep. Strap option 1: Aftermarket choose 21/16 mm with replacement buckle. You can use the same pins as the ones from bracelet. I believe pins are SS. St...
