So strong....
I am amazed at how this watch has just pushed the other watches off my wrist, as I have worn it almost every day for the past two months. I had already bought four other watches this year and so I hadn’t planned this. In fact, I was offered it first at my regular dealer, but turned it down after trying it on. Then by coincidence, it shows up while on holiday and I saw with new eyes.
I put other watches on some mornings. But by bedtime, this is back in the wrist.
I have been uncertain about the bracelet but I have come to quite like it.
I was thinking this morning, what other manufacturer offers such an interesting AUTOMATIC chronograph? None I can think of. It is fly-back, it has an annual calendar, you can run it continuesly so it can show two time zones. Mine runs +2 sec/day in continuous regular wear.
I am a lot happier than I had expected I would be....

Thanks, Keks :-)
Isn’t it...you will know...they have made something that just works really well with this watch. A daily watch - on a high level!
Yes , with a Patek you tend to neglect your other watches.really
Best wishes, really a usefull complication. Geross.
thank you for your kind words, geross :-)
I felt uncertain about this watch, so I gave it the benefit of the doubt with the possibility I might had to let it go if it didnt work. On paper its a "no-brainer" in terms of a PP offering at this price. BUT the heart decides - now I so glad I got it
Ciao, Fab...
My pleasure I cant remember if you got one also? (im guessing you did ) It is much more a daily watch than your stunning enamel collection - but a nice one at that. best Christian
Still not too late...

Ah, ok - sorry. If you get the chance you must try it
It will be a great complement to your stunning collection
I have the same feeling!
I had to deliberately remind myself to give other watches some wrist time after I got this.
It’s been about two months now...
That I haven’t worn it. This watch still shows up as the most worn one on my OnMyWrist app. Haha
About 5 months with mine and I totally agree the 5960A beckons to be worn everyday
I wear mine about every other day. I could wear it everyday easily. I think it is one of the best watch decisions I made and I am grateful to my AD.
Interesting to hear that
I feel the same as you. It was certainly not the watch I was most in love with. But they made a winning recipe with this one. Some of my most beloved watches I wear more sparingly or only in certain contexts. I think it was Kari who first said that it is ...
In deed you did, my dear old friend. Seeing yours on a strap helped push me toward it
It I need to go to the big city to have a MTM strap made for it. I have a pretty clear idea of what I want but I have a few details to work out with the maker. In the meantime I am enjoying the bracelet that I have come to like..... To tease you; you need...
I’m working on convincing my wife at the moment
That we should visit Paris in the autumn. We both want to go but the work schedule is so damn tight that we haven’t been able to plan it yet. But I will surely tell you if we go
After many years of reluctance I´ve bought mine one year ogo and I can´t be happier with the 5960A.
The black dial version will be very sought after in the near future, I bet. Congrats for catching one! But I still prefer the white dial as for my eyes the white/silver/grey shades are truly amazing and more interesting compared witht the black. Anyway, w...
Thank you so much
To tell you the truth I didn’t sleep for an entire night because they had both at the shop. My wife took pictures of me with both and I kept her awake in the hotel because I was going back and forth between the pictures all night. I agree that the white h...
I would say after owning it that I can understand that
Especially, as I think it is something you will wear as a daily watch, that it would get the wrist time that would help to justify it...
I have had the thought as well
But it would rule out an other one that I can’t live without.......I need to think it through
You are so right, Christian. Also the black dial is lovely. A good friend of mine has got one and we meet very often with our watches and swap them back and forth all the time.
10 days ago I was in Kopenhagen for a short trip with my wife and could check out the 5960G at a local PP-dealer. I also like that version a lot. The blue dial with its white accents is pretty cool as well.
In deed it is
It was in the picture as well. And so was the black P. But I have a weakness for steel watches and I already found the 5960 a bit top heavy so I decided to go with steel. What is your take on the bracelet? BTW I see you are located in Germany?
My take on the bracelet is very positive meanwhile.
At first, only judging from pictures, I didn’t like it at all and found it very “Breitling-like”. When I saw it in real and had it on my wrist I found it extremely comfortable and better looking but I was not fully convinced. Then I bought the watch and w...
Thank you for your well considered reply
Your experiences are very similar to mine. I also briefly tested it on a (incorrect) strap and liked that look a lot, but I have also come to appreciate the bracelet a lot

Thank you so much, dear Gordon :-)

My best friend lives in HK and I was in contact with him a few hours ago. He lives high up in a high rise and the balcony blew open and smashed. He said he had to hold on to it for hours before he could get help. Be very careful- don’t take chances, dear ...
My feeling exactly
I leave the 5960 on the braclett and always have it ready to wear, which as you said, may not be all Day but on most days I wear it at some point...Jim
I never thought
About running the 12 hour Chrono for a second time zone, great tip Christian...Jim
I think it makes this Chrono really special
In fact, I hardly ever use the chronograph function. I think having the chronograph running, makes the watch so much more alive. I have it set on HK time, since my best friend lives there and I can keep track of his day.
For me, the best features on any PP and with a good price
Unfortunately many out there said bad vibes about this 5960, I heard people saying its not a Nautilus and therefore market price will not be high. I was offered a 5980 with only the chrono and no annual calendar, a price that easily doubled the 5960, why ...
There are so many opinions out there...
It’s pretty useless in any context.... What matters is that you have have knowledge and taste. I also love my Nautilus and I think they complement each other really well. Enjoy, my friend.
lucky for you with the cool watch
