- No longer in production, the Patek Philippe ref. 5960 debuted in 2006 as the manufacture’s first fully in-house self-winding chronograph, boldly combined with an annual calendar. Initially launched in platinum with a grey dial, the reference later appeared in other precious metals, immediately establishing itself as an unexpected yet highly compelling modern complication.

- The stainless steel ref. 5960/1A-010 with black dial is among the most sought-after variants, owing to its extremely short one-year production in 2017 and its distinctly modern, sporty character. Its highly legible dial features the signature “bull’s-eye” annual calendar display, unifying the calendar indications into a single fan-shaped register, complemented by a power-reserve indicator and a chronograph sub-dial with day/night display.

- Preserved in excellent overall condition and complete with its original accessories, the present example stands out as an exceptional everyday complication for the contemporary collector.

Patek Philippe

Swiss | 1839

Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
