  • Catalogue Essay

    Since its launch in 2006, the reference 5960 has undergone various configurations, first offered only in platinum with an anthracite grey dial and for a short period of time, the 5960 was also available as seen in the present example, with a platinum case and a “bleu soleil” or sunburst blue dial, known as the ref. 5960P-015.

    The annual calendar can be viewed through the 3 window apertures located on the top half of the dial with a mono-counter located at 6 o’clock that consists of a 60 minutes counter that surrounds the 12-hour counter on the inside. Another smaller detail that is worth noting is a flawless diamond placed subtly at the 6 o’clock of the case that is only used by Patek Philippe on platinum cases.

    One of the most wearable and approachable of Patek Philippe “complication” series ever produced, reference 5960P is nothing short of a refined and surprisingly sporty watch that packs a punch when it’s on the wrist. Presented in a later sealed condition and complete with all its accessories, it is a perfect example for collectors to have in their collection.

    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.
