BNIB 5205G vs used 5960P

 
 By: randy_yeap : April 10th, 2012-00:42
Hi all, I have difficulty choose between brand new 5205g vs used 5960P. What would u choose. ? Appreciated you guys opinion thank you....  

It depends

 
 By: dr.kol : April 10th, 2012-01:05
on many issues like the price of 5960P as well as it's condition. It does not mean anything but I like much more the design of 5205G than 5960P. A manually wound chronograph is the watch which makes me exited and an automatic one is for me just a replacem... 

GO Platinum case!

5960P with closed eyes

I'm fortunte to own both...

If I could only have one I would without hesitation choose the 5960P. I have the dark dial 5205G and it is a fantastic piece but it honestly doesn't compare to the 5960P.

5960 for sure!

Well...In term of complication, an annual calender chronograph is miuch more technically important than a simple annual calender... In the brand, you have 4 kinds of annual calender: 5146; 5396; 5726 as well as 5250... but there is only one 5960! In fact,... 

yeah, in this case 5960P

Patek annual calendars get little to no respect in the aftermarket, just in case you should wish to sell down the line... If your decision has nothing to do with financial considerations, I still prefer the 5960P--but in my dream it would be blue, and som... 

I own 5960R and 5205G

 
 By: patekben : April 10th, 2012-13:00
Both great pieces. The 5960 is impossible not to appreciate the innovation, quality and detail. 5205G (black dial) is a wow to look at. Everyday great watch maybe more casual. Maybe you can not compare. Buy one then the other at another time. Used ones wi... 

Thank you everyone for your opinion [nt]

5960P would be my choice

 
 By: Hororgasm : April 10th, 2012-10:35
And a pre loved piece have already taken the first monetary "hit", plus it's a more horologically significant piece, being a modern chrono and in platinum as well. Best, Horo

I'm in the minority....

I would go with the 5205. IMHO it's a more elegant looking watch. I like the aesthetic better. On a purely investment basis then the 5960P has to win. It's more complicated....having a chrono and is Platinum. On a purely looks perspective the 5205 sings m... 

Thanks ...... [nt]

Here's a vote for 5205G

 
 By: Greenwatch : April 11th, 2012-06:45
I'm biased for having owned one. And it is a complication that is more practical than a combo chrono/AC. The watch is also elegantly original, with new aperture/concave bezel traits that are almost similar to the 5960P. Further, at its current price point... 

Ok thanks greenwatch [nt]

Glad you are enjoying your Annual calendar

Patek is so funny, though, with their 'value' models. (Cough, cough! Ahem!) certainly value is relative here, to Patek's other prices. But the strange psychology of Patek creates a world where a very expensive watch like the 5205 becomes vaguely entry lev... 

5960P all the way if from a reputable source. [nt]

Though I own the dark dial 5205G..........

 
 By: Topcat30093 : April 12th, 2012-01:18
In this case, I would have to vote for the 5960P When I was deciding whether to get a 5140, the 5960P was fairly new on the market and the pricing between the two were quite close. Because I desired a PC more and that time I chose the 5140, but some month... 

Personally...Take the 5205G [nt]

IMHO the 5205G is more elegant

 
 By: Georg : April 20th, 2012-03:54
