Catalogue Essay
In 2006, Patek Philippe first introduced reference 5960 in platinum, fitted with a grey dial. Reference 5960 was Patek Philippe’s first self-winding chronograph. Designed with the annual calendar complication, the watch quickly became very popular due to its particularly eye catching subsidiary dial with outer red numerals and blue inner numerals.
Although Patek Philippe later released variants of reference 5960 in pink gold and with other dials, the original model such as the present watch remains popular as it marks a historic moment in Patek Philippe's history. When reference 5960 in stainless steel was introduced in 2014, the company ceased production of all models in precious metals, making the present platinum watch a very rare example.
