No 78...

Another one in this forum, joining the community.

Previously our member keks did a roll call for 5960 owners and this was the last update

that brings our count to a respectable 77 add 1(me)

Breakdown as follows:

P blue 1/1: 1
A white LCFC: 2

A white : 29
A black : 18
P gray : 12 add 1
P black : 4
P blue : 4
G blue : 6
R gray : 1

As some will know I always wanted a 5960 and was leaning to the SS version...why? Conventional wisdom is to always try to get SS Patek Philippe watches due to its rarity and potential.

Last year when PP announced the discontinuation of the 5960 after producing from 2006, I sensed the slight urge to do this sooner than later.

The A-white was my initial choice but I also have some reservations on the bracelet and was prepared to get a strap like some members do. Then came the Black which is even better due to short production time for a year and that piece is now a “collector” piece - wink wink

Therefore, going through many blogs and videos, I think the Pt version is most underrated and it make more sense to me now. The Blue or Black dial Pt version are super nice too but I think it’s time to choose something different.

I like the PR hands not going over the brand name and the 12-hr chrono counter.

Looking at keks’ tally, if our community is a good statistical representation of the collection, do you still think SS is rare?

Anyways, I am happy with this choice but again, I’m clueless so take it with a grain of salt 😂



Love the sunburst dial

I would give it a try with a red or blue strap. This would rock. Best, V.

Thank you V...

That’s a good suggestion and I have to say it’s quite Bold to use Red but I see it matches the chrono hand and numbers 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you very much M4 🙏🏻 [nt]

I’ve been looking at the same model myself, love the size and how it stands on the wrist. Perfect replacement for my gone but not forgotten 5396

Thank you...

It does sit well on my ~7” wrist. I think this is a great value, AC + Chrono, PR, Day/night indicator, if you compared to some hype time only models.

Congratulations.

And IMO you made the right selection. Enjoy. M.

I was lucky to get a black dial

One month before announcing it will be discontinued, being sold to me in PP Salon Geneva on March 8, 2018. They normally don't offer to sell stainless steel PP so I counted myself a lucky guy. ...  

Other priorities and chose a different watch 🤷‍♂️. If I was like most others I would have chosen the Patek due to it being a Patek...

but I guess I am not that savvy as a collector as I usually go with my heart and emotions instead of what is rare or has potential 🤦‍♂️

Add another Grey for me
