When I watch “birth of a legend” it still makes me have goose bumps. I believe this watch is something really special and will one day get the praise it so deserves rather than “ they made too many of them “ which is what I hear a lot. I always ask these people “ so pray tell, how do you know?”
To which they usually just change the subject. The urban myth about Patek for what ever reason suddenly deciding to make thousands of platinum 5960’s make no sense what so ever. They didn’t.

I’ve been looking at the 5960 myself and it’s funny the P is much cheaper than the G - or the wg blue dial is more expensive than the platinum grey dial.

I personally prefer the more sporty handset and the slightly more aggressive colour scheme of the G, but would wear the P with pride.

I think I have been the biggest fan of this watch for many years.
