The black minute track with small lumedots against the plain Cream dial... for me the clin d'œil with the PN dial is obvious...
But I might be wrong... although I am not often ( lol )

Question: Which 5960/ 1A do you prefer?
By: amanico : March 22nd, 2017-15:15
Before the Basel Fair, there was no other choice than the white dial if you like the 5960 / 1A. Now, there is an alternative: The black, or the white dial. Personally, I would go for the white. Why? Because it has an incredible depth and coolness. Not tha...
I am trying to decide.
By: dr.kol : March 22nd, 2017-15:19
Perhaps both... However, I have P with black dial and three would obviously be too much. Like you said, white is cool. Best, Kari
No!
By: dr.kol : March 22nd, 2017-15:41
Too many of those already. But 5960 is a great watch. One really understands it just after wearing it all the time. Best, Kari
I would go for the blue dial with the brown strap
By: ifraher : March 22nd, 2017-15:22
That they offered in white gold unfortunately! Almost perfect, I feel they should offer all of these in steel and with a strap option. I fear the bracelet may be a touch too intricate to fit the sports appeal of the watch itself. Ian
Of course...
By: ifraher : March 22nd, 2017-15:26
But I nice Patek clasp is always welcome.
Yes, I agree.

Sometimes I'm worried that the manufacturer forgets some basic things about business: who are the clients and what do they want. Best, Kari
This is hard to tell before seeing the new one...
By: Mark in Paris : March 22nd, 2017-15:27
...but I think I would go for the black dial. On the Sporty - Chic line I would say the white one is more on the sporty side than the black dial. Because of the black colour but also because of the white gold finish of all the dial elements (hands, marker...
Very hard to judge from that picture
By: keks : March 22nd, 2017-15:27
Seen one black (pic cred Hodinkee) on a wrist and it looks amazing, very different character but very cool nevertheless. On a black cordovan strap perhaps? ...
White.
By: beejo : March 23rd, 2017-01:21
Looks more sporty and fresh. Best, Ahmed
White dial for me too.
By: Alex83 : March 22nd, 2017-15:29
Probably my next Patek, and I have the feeling yours too... Question though, how come the offitial price for the black dialed one is almost 20k than the White's secondary market? Does the white have same offitial price?
I expect same retail price for both steel versions
By: keks : March 22nd, 2017-15:40
However I think the black will carry a different gray market price as I believe (read hope) Patek will better control supply of this. The white dial unfortunately is oversupplied and perhaps an error in estimating demand but hope they will sort that out g...
Without a doubt, white
By: Poky : March 22nd, 2017-16:26
The black does not look good at all here. Just my opinion based on the photo alone.
I'm going to dodge your question . . .
By: M4 : March 22nd, 2017-17:21
. . . because it's too close to call. But, no matter, I prefer the white gold, blue dial, tan strap, reference 5960G to both steel variants. I'm wondering about the price of the 5960G. Anyone know? Thank you. M4
Price for 5960G
By: Bengoshi76 : March 23rd, 2017-01:00
is - if I'm not mistaken - 58k CHF including 8% Swiss VAT
Black
By: GT3 : March 22nd, 2017-19:03
I would go with the black dial. It has a very nice contrast with the quite 'busy' bracelet IMHO. Would love to see the WG version. Best, H
I'm not going to be popular with this but here goes.
By: Miles_151 : March 23rd, 2017-01:51
Neither. When Patek released the original 5960 I remember thinking they had stumbled across something really very special. For me the complications including the fly back function worked perfectly on a watch which I could wear with jeans or more formal we...
Agreed.
By: Miles_151 : March 23rd, 2017-02:22
I was really beginning to think I was on my own here. M
White.

Though I'll keep an open mind for the black once I see it in person.
Let me bump up this thread...

I stopped by Geneva on my way back from the Swiss Alps to indulge myself with good cigars, and decided to pay a visit to the Patek Salon. It was my first time there; I was just curious to see the salon (which by the way is magnificent). I had the chance t...
Thanks for your feedback!
By: Mark in Paris : August 16th, 2017-09:58
I must say both versions look really appealing on your wrists. It shows the significant difference between looking at this model and the bracelet on a stand-alone basis and during a try. I think the black one suits you really well indeed Thanks for your f...
I have been going back and forth on this for a while
By: NML77 : August 16th, 2017-13:43
I own the white and have been very happy but think I may prefer the black dial. I do have the all black platinum already, which is my favorite 5960, but am considering the black steel as I think it has a different look and serves a different purpose. When...

Hi Nico.
By: gigi : August 17th, 2017-00:01
Hi remember we spoke about this before. But back then there was not choice on a black version. I think the black one looks a bit smaller (definitely a plus) But the white version has a more vintage look (Daytona style). Probably I would go for the black. ...
White for me
By: Mr OP : August 20th, 2017-10:34
I have tried both at the Geneva Salon and the black makes the red chrono hand pop even more ! I think WG hand would have Been a better choice IMO since the dial is already quite busy Anyway the Cream dial is nicer and reminds me of the panda PN6263 I have...
