Patek Philippe

After a long doubt I decided it was time to pull the trigger on this one. The love for the 5960 reference has always been there. The only factor that it took me a while was about deciding which one to get. Personally I went with the A because the stainles...  

Are you still a fan? Saw you before wearing it regularly if I remember correctly. Best, H

My work is much easier and when I am off, I mostly wrar Rolex. My standard office watch is 5960. Other Pateks get very little wrist time. Best Kari

Big congratulations

But you can always put a good strap on it. Superb duo with the 5980! Best, Nicolas

Absolutely true! Best, H

Its bracelet very much too , great complications in a lovely case with pump pushers,the great deals you may can get on the secondary market is an added bonus. Wear it in good health

You are right. They definitely add charm to the watch. Now is the time to get it IMHO. Best, H

... and find some cons, not just pros. I’m afraid I’m coming up empty. It’s a beautiful watch, congratulations! PS: the one con is that I don’t own it...

There is a significant risk of divorce from my wife and mutiny from my kids otherwise...

It is. But the good thing is you can change that too. ;-) Best, H

Great watch you got there. Both of them for that matter... Please feel free to join in on the 5960 PuristS roll call if you can find it among older posts... would love to keep counting the 5960s here

I would love to. Going to search for it now. Best, H

I have it. I have the black leather strap, w red stitching. Tried for a while, but always wear now with steel band. So much classier. Enjoy

The 5960A clearly has a lot of great attributes that twisted my arm into buying one. Once I had it in my possession for a couple of weeks I found it to be mostly better than I had imagined. I have a few cons that I'll share. 1. The subseconds markings are... 

Definitely agree on these ones: 3. I wish the watch had instantaneous minutes on the chronograph. 5. I wish Patek used orange instead of red for the chronograph hands. and these 2. It's a Patek annual calendar + 12 hour flyback chronograph + power reserve... 

I have only seen this reference once but really liked it.

I love mine and just put it on after dinner tonight. (Although I usually war it for work) It wears so easily and I love that bracelet. I think it adds to its organic curved lines.

Agreed on the bracelet. Love it. Enjoy yours! Best, H

Great utilitarian watch. I’ve owned both the white and black dial but sold the white dial, I wish I had kept it. The watch is extremely comfortable easy to wear, relatively light on the wrist and great complications. The only complaint I have is the chron... 

Did you own them at the same time? That thought did already crossed my mind. Also I like the other variations, for sure the black dial. The thing is it is incredibly comfortable and very versatile. But first see how I like it for a longer period of time b... 

i found a new 5960A in a European AD, with white dial. i have a buying adoption until tomorrow....not sure yet though. i was looking for a black faced 5960A, called all over europe and did not get lucky. so what to do, to buy or not to buy? i like the wat... 

Personally I did like all the 5960 variations a lot. Aesthetically I love the 5960A with it's bracelet. It's functions, it's case shape and the vintage inspired pushers. Also it is a Flyback chronograph topped off with an Annual Calendar AND all of that i... 

No message body

That’s simply a lovely watch. Elegant and sporty at the the same time. In the beginning I had my issues with the bracelet like many others here but after a while I could understand the specialty of it. Now I never use a strap on it any more but bracelet o... 

Happy to hear you like it too. It is indeed a ref where possibly some of us have to get used to and over time get comfortable with. The bling of it under the AD's lights is not there in real life if you know what I mean. Best, H
