I will join your side

I've been quickly in touch with the Patek Philippe 5905P before summer and It looked very nice to me.

As you did, I appreciated the proportions and the 5905 is very much in todays standards line.

By the way, Fx made a review of the 5905P here on ou forum: www.watchprosite.com 9

I particularly enjoy having these pushers but the main element I adore in this new reference is the dial decoration: the 2 thin silvery rings with their 5-minutes applied markers and the 3 Annual Calendar's windows. I find this layout very elegant and very well balanced.

Maybe they could have made the subsidiary dial white printings a little thinner. Yet I prefer this subdial to the 5960's.

Finally the little grooves made in the lugs' side is another detail I like very much (so as in the 5227 or 5205 for instance)

So this is what make for me a slight preference for the 5905P.

However, the 5960 is now iconic because of the round pushers and the little more old school decoration.

Thanks a lot for sharing your pictures, it is not often we have the opportunity to see them side by side.

Are you considering one of these after your Aquanaut?

Cheers, Mark

5960P vs 5905P the blue dial battle.

By: beejo : October 5th, 2015-12:56

Had the chance to compare these two blue dialed watches ,That I have been trying to choose between for along time.It was the first time to see the 5905P in metal. And What a watch!!!!! ,The weight of the watch,the wrist presence and finally the proportion...

Easy my friend!

First get 5960/1A and wear it with leather strap. Then get 5905P and spend many sleepless nights thinking "black or blue"... At least that's what I did. Best, Kari

5960/1A on Strap

By: Oneplustwo : October 11th, 2015-22:38

Dear Kari, Do you feel 5960/1A 's lug holes are positioned differently from its P metal siblings (closer to the lug end)? The gap between the strap and case looks wider to me. But it is just my subjective feeling. Best, Damon

Let me have a close look on Friday.

I will take the bracelet off and I have two very interesting straps a watchmaker is trying to install. I will try to write a post on the subject during the coming weekend. Best, Kari

the article Fx wrote a while ago on the forum and that what made me start to consider the watch,Actually I read every single article or post written on the PP forum,I spend more time reading than posting as I am new compared to most of the members so I ne...

I'm glad you find here material to fuel your thoughts

By: Mark in Paris : October 6th, 2015-02:51

and I think you have pretty much wise thoughts about these watches. The best piece of advice I could give is to take a little time to ask yourself how you would feel with this watch on the wrist during the day. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about them ...

notch on the case?I have never seen a steel piece with a leather strap,But I believe it gonna be annoying every time I look to the watch,specially its unpolished I heard. Anyone owns it?or even tried it? Best, Ahmed

I will post some pictures

By: dr.kol : October 6th, 2015-21:19

on 18th of this month. Nico said something clever: "Only the stupid never change their mind". Another good one to remember is that "You can't always get everything". I think 5960/1A in leather strap with all the minor issues still represent great value. B...

Since it's release…….

The 5960P was a firm favourite of mine, especially in its original guise. Now, I believe that it has competition, for my attention, in the way of the 5905P Personally, I prefer the rectangular pushers over the rounds one, which I always believe to be an e...

Same here.

Nice wrist shot Kari

I think the 42mm suit nicely on your wrist. I don't remember you already have an Annual Calendar, do you? Cheers, Mark

I'm not a big fan of AC and like QP much more.

By: dr.kol : October 7th, 2015-08:59

The only AC I have is 5960/1A which I bought thinking about the white details in the dashboard of my Porsche Targa 4 GTS. But today I paid the downpayment for a Bentley Bentayga. Most probably I will not buy a Breitling so perhaps 5905P could be the answe...

Of course.

By: Mark in Paris : October 7th, 2015-09:07

I look so much at the 5960 for its style, finishing and colors that I forgot it was an Annual Calendar... I must say I also have a great appeal for a Perpetual Calendar, even it the AC is finally very interesting, at a more affordable price point. Interes...

"Money first" is the name of the game. Then the final factory order is placed and the production place is given. Preliminary Q2 2016. Why do you say that it's an interesting choice? I think that's about the most logical family car. I need a SUV to visit L...

Interesting choice

By: Mark in Paris : October 7th, 2015-09:50

Well, this is a new model from a brand I would not have thought about when dealing with such type. However, I think the quality of the interior will be top notch. So quality, finishing of the interior and highly luxurious brand not used to proposing SUVs ...
