  • Catalogue Essay

    Introduced in 2006, reference 5960 was Patek Philippe’s first automatic chronograph wristwatch to incorporate an annual calendar complication. The reference was first launched in platinum with a grey dial. Patek Philippe later released variants in white gold, pink gold, and stainless steel. 2013 was the last year the platinum case was part of the official collection - being replaced by steel in 2014. This "monochrome black” version was in catalogue only for that one year, as a sort of informal swan song of the 5960P. It is now one of the most sought-after variations of the reference.

    Factory sealed, the present watch is accompanied by all its original accessories such as the Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated September 11, 2013, setting pin, hang tag, product literature, leather wallet, presentation box and outer packaging.
