  • Catalogue Essay

    First introduced in 2011, the Patek Philippe reference 5961 enhances the sporty elegance of the 5960 by incorporating baguette-cut diamonds into its design. These brilliant-cut diamonds elevate the watch, transitioning it into a dressier category while retaining its modern sport watch appeal. The “ebony black opaline” dial, as described on the official Patek Philippe website, creates a striking contrast against the pink gold case, exuding sophistication. The baguette diamonds set on both the watch’s bezel and deployant clasp not only amplify the watch’s luxury but also give it a refined flair, making it equally suitable for formal occasions as it is for everyday wear.

    Boasting an in-house, integrated chronograph movement, remarkable technical innovation within includes a vertical clutch mechanism, making it possible to use the chronograph hand as a continuously running seconds hand without affecting the watch’s accuracy. For this reason, the subsidiary seconds dial traditionally found on the classic Patek Philippe column-wheel chronographs is not needed.

    Fresh to the market and presented in exceptional overall condition, it is offered with its full set of original accessories and proves to be the perfect addition to the collection of any modern connoisseur.

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.
