  • 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.

    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.

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.
