Yes, this is the one which made me fall in love with, as soon as it was unveiled. [nt]

A great reference, glad that it seems to receive more love now that it did initially...the Leicester version (we have at least a couple on WPS) was epic! Cheers. [nt]

You are absolutely right. I think the steel versions helped a lot, on that matter. [nt]

Thanks for sharing your opinion, my friend. Not a bad choice at all. [nt]

Love this 5960. Bought the white dial when it first came out and kept it for a while before giving it to a relative. Had a chance to purchase the black dual from Patek Place Vendome...
and even went to the boutique to try it on at the time. I decided on another watch but kind of regret it a bit since the black dial was such a short run.
Guess that is life. You win some and you lose some 🤷♂️
IMHO, the 5960 is one of Patek's best modern designs for practicality. I just wished it was a bit more water resistant, which would make it the perfect do anything watch 👍

Aaaah, yes, you should have gone for the Black. But as you said, we all make mistakes. Agreed, my friend, for me one of the best modern Patek. [nt]

Well, if I did purchase the black dial I most certainly would have kept it but at that time I decided on another watch instead of the black 5960/1A 😔🤷♂️
not the first or last watch regret sadly, such is life 🤭
It was not a total loss as I think I did well with my other choice BUT as I always say to you or others, the correct choice would have been BOTH...
this was my choice at the time. Belonged to a friend and decided between this and the 5960/1A black.
The ONLY answer should have been both but I don't think I could have gone wrong either way 😁
It was a difficult choice at the time but in the end I thought it would be easier to get a black 5960/1A in the future than this Comex Sub so I had to make the choice...
If I could do it all over again, I will most certainly take both and not have the regret 😉
Aaah, that I am not sure of... Both would have been THE decision to make, definitely. [nt]

Agreed, which is why I always want to say both when given a choice👍🤷♂️ [nt]

No such thing as ONLY and if so, it would not be either of these if it had to be ONE...
knowing more today, I would choose the 5960/1A black dial since I would probably wear it more often.
These are all beautiful. I'm taken with the steel versions
Although the blue dial on the Platinum gets my vote. Those of you who own one: how pleased are you with the chronograph function on the watch?
Hours counter on the inside or outside?
Looking at all the photos, do owners prefer the hours counter on the outside (as on my 5960A white opaline dial) or on the inside? Is there a legibility improvement in one version over the other? Why did Patek change it?
A younger and sportier look, I guess. I prefer the dial of the A versions ( And the G Blue, of course ). [nt]

Each has its own charm ! Thanks for the post Nicolas ! Naturally knowing about the uniqueness of the...
Leicester Fox 🦊, it carries a “special” status and its color scheme is also well done.
Thanks for your feedback, my dear Gordon. Seeing this one in the flesh is really something. [nt]

For me that is the most beautiful and most collectible! 💗
And the bracelet, wich I like a lot, makes it a 24/7 watch. Perfect to me!
A strong one, for sure. I hesitate a lot between the opaline and the black dial, to be honest. Thanks for your feedback, Tempus. [nt]

One year production make it a relatively rare watch.
I don't know the exact production numbers for the 5960/1A black dial but I think 5960G -010 Moscow edition (100 pieces) is rare compared to the 5960/1A black dial. 5960P-016 was also produced for 1 year and that makes it a rare watch too.
I regret not getting a 5960. I had the opportunity to buy a 5960P-016 in 2016 and the AD could not sell the watch for several years. I was offered a 5960/1A white dial in 2017 and a black dial in 2018 but on both occasions I declined and bought other watches.

If we take out the unique 5960P, I also think the Leicester edition is the rarest. [nt]
