Amanico's post unveils a rarely seen Patek Philippe Ref. 5960A, distinguished by its unique handset and caseback engraving. This particular reference, often celebrated for its annual calendar chronograph complication, gains significant historical context through the bespoke details highlighted by Amanico, making it a fascinating subject for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The Patek Philippe Complications reference 5960A, introduced in stainless steel, represents a significant offering within the brand's annual calendar chronograph series. This particular reference is notable for being the first annual calendar chronograph from Patek Philippe to be offered in a non-precious metal, making it a distinctive piece in the Complications collection. It combines practical complications with a robust case material, appealing to collectors seeking a blend of utility and horological complexity.
This reference features a 40.5mm stainless steel case, housing the self-winding Caliber CH 28-520 QA 24H. The movement provides a power reserve of approximately 55 hours and is visible through a sapphire crystal case back. The dial is presented in white, protected by a sapphire crystal, and the watch is water-resistant to 30 meters. The integrated stainless steel bracelet complements the case material, providing a cohesive aesthetic.
The 5960A in stainless steel holds a specific position for collectors due to its material choice and the integrated bracelet, differentiating it from its precious metal counterparts. Its combination of an annual calendar and chronograph functions, along with the 24-hour indication, makes it a highly functional and mechanically interesting timepiece. The special hand set and case back decoration mentioned for this specific 5960A further emphasize its unique attributes within the production run.
owned the football that others did not expect would eventually win the premium league title ! Apparently these 5960s were gifts to the team members and each had the name of Khun Vichai on the certificate.
and I don't like obtrusive laser engraved casebacks. Pt grey dial is much more appealing to me.
Not sure about its connection to this football club mind you! ๐
Not the first cooperation I would think ofโฆ
