I thought about that too
It is not only a question of polished surfaces versus brushed ones etc...
It is a real difference of aesthetics.
Would like to see a different bracelet in the near future.
Cheers, Mark

The bracelet might not be the most attractive
looking one... but it is incredibly comfortable. Nice weekend to everybody! Best, Kari...
I agree.
It's better to pay the attention to the watch itself rather than to the bracelet. It can always be changed to a strap. Best, Kari

congratulations!
Congratulations on acquiring this beauty! Looking forward to reading your review on this piece. Particularly around the bracelet. When I had the opportunity to handle one at my AD I was surprised at how light and comfortable the bracelet felt. Also loved ...
The bracelet kept me away from this for a year.
But in real is is so incredible light and flexible. Patek surely had their reasons to construct it like it's constructed. I complained a bit in the Salon about the shine effect of the bracelet. The Manager replied: "it is ageing in a very beautiful way". ...
Kari its stunning.
Im sure its very comfortable. Like your nautilus. Thanks for sharing. Best. Geross
At the moment I'm changing between three watches:
Nautilus 3712 & 5711 and this 5960. Next week in Hawaii I will replace the other Nautilus with Aquanaut 5167. I guess that it will be very hard to say which of the watches is the most comfortable. Naturally, the Nautilus and Aquanaut are slim. But I'm...
It's very comfortable!
I had been wearing this watch for the most part of the last 8 months and I love it! Love it so much that I put away my 5167/1A. The balance is just right. Some may not like the bracelet. I don't have much of a problem since I have a 5036/1G before, so I a...
You said it:
together with the bracelet, the balance of the watch is just right. Best, Kari
I agree
When I tried it on, my college age son gave me a look that said it all. My wife said it's a "Dirty old man" looking watch. That was the end of this model in our household.
Congratulation kari..
Enjoy it in the best of health,waiting to see the final outcome and your review on the strap choice. Best, Ahmed
So funny,
No one seems to like the bracelet on the 5960, I love the thing. Not just the fit but the look. I think it ties the sporty/classy dial together so well. On this I seem to be a tad alone haha One of my favorite modern Patek's, Regards, Dylan
I think that thanks to the bright bracelet,
the watch lacks contrast. But oh boy, the bracelet feels so incredibly comfortable. It's like wearing no watch. Best, Kari
So this is indeed a watch for you Dylan!
I guess we all come from different areas, culture etc and don't see the same things alike. This one was made for you :) We are not used to wearing than much all polished bralcelets in Western Europe for instance but as many here I lvoe the watch. Cheers, ...
Absolutely
I don't generally do a polished bracelet like this either haha! But this one speaks to me so you are right, definitely a watch for me. I have to find the next one for my wife though ;) Regards, Dylan
Congrats Kari!
Another very nice watch to your collection I think the bracelet looks ok. I believe you can also switch to a strap for a change if you want. A sporty black strap will go very well with this watch too Cheers Robin
Thanks Robin.
Indeed, there's no drama in changing the bracelet to a strap. I will get my straps & accessories after the holidays. Best, Kari
Age is just a stage of mind.
I took a +30 years younger wife, bought Carrera 911 GTS and bought 5960/1A. And now I feel like a young boy again. Or could it be dementia... Best, Kari
We do not grow over 30: this is what I am sure of
I have asked quite a few "elderly" people in my job, people who were blessed with a good health in age and the common feeling was amongst that group: they all felt like 30 but not like 70 or more. Our brain slowly deletes quite a lot of information in ord...
Congratualtions Kari.
I wasn't really fond of the 5960 line (in fact I don't like round pushers) but this version is a really good move from Patek. I tried it on too and felt it sits very nicely on the wrist as well, even if I think I still prefer the 5712's feeling. I'm reall...
Thanks Mark
5960/1A is having a sensible place among my other Pateks. To be honest, I start to have problems to tank my watchboxes with watches I like. The only logical step is to move towards Grand Complication. Best, Kari
Well,
I think that the more you'll wear them, the more you'll find a ranking of the watches you like best. But your certainly have now a very interesting collection and I guess some of them may disappear for a while but be back again when you feel like wearing ...
It is a fantastic one
I saw it recently and I must say I don't see what I don't like inthis 5370P. The enamel dial is beautiful of course but I didn't pay that much attention to the side case from the pictures we could see and I can tell it looks great. If you consider a chron...
