Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Chronograph 5960R-010 — USD 59,995

The Patek Philippe Complications reference 5960R-010 is a self-winding flyback chronograph with an annual calendar, presented in a rose gold case. This reference is part of the broader 5960 series, which introduced Patek Philippe's first automatic chronograph movement. The 5960R-010 specifically features a black dial, distinguishing it within the rose gold variants that also included a grey dial and a white dial option. It represents a significant offering in Patek Philippe's Complications collection, combining practical functions with a refined aesthetic. This particular reference is housed in a 40.5 mm rose gold case. It is powered by the in-house caliber CH 28-520 IRM QA 24H, a self-winding mechanical movement. The movement provides a power reserve of 45-55 hours. The watch features a sapphire crystal on the front and a sapphire-crystal case back, allowing for observation of the movement. The water resistance for this model is rated at 30 meters. For collectors, the 5960R-010 is notable as a rose gold execution of the 5960, a model line that saw various material and dial combinations. The black dial variant offers a distinct visual character compared to its grey and white dial counterparts in rose gold. The integration of the annual calendar with the flyback chronograph function makes it a highly functional and appealing piece for those seeking a sophisticated everyday complication.
