Full-Cataloguing

- First annual calendar chronograph from Patek along with ref. 5980

Launched in 2006 alongside the Nautilus ref. 5980, the ref. 5960 marked Patek Philippe's first chronograph implemented in a non-perpetual calendar watch, and debuted the manufacture's first entirely in-house chronograph calibre. The dial is dominated by a "bull's eye" subdial at 6 o'clock, pioneering the merging of minute and hour registers, and represents Patek Philippe's first ever 12-hour counter in a serially produced watch.
The 40mm platinum case frames a sporty yet refined aesthetic. From circa 2007, this watch still bears the Geneva Seal before the company's transition to the Patek Philippe Seal in 2009. The platinum version was produced for just three years with the Geneva Seal, rendering such examples notably rare.
Presented in excellent overall condition and from the original owner, the watch is accompanied by its full set of accessories.
