Patek Philippe

Hi I'm new to the forum and am interested in feedback from owners of the 5960P. I recently placed an order for one at my local AD, but have done so without ever actually experiencing the watch in the metal. Not sure whether this was a foolish move on my p... 

I think the 5960 looks much nicer in metal than in photos. It is, however, a thick, heavy watch with the platinum case, but remember that a lot is going on inside the case. You can wear it every day as it has a great casual look. I like the brown strap al... 

Thanks for the info. I am also unsure about the brown strap - I'm guessing it's an easy matter to change it out for a black one... As for the bulk of the watch - my current most worn watch is a Rolex Sea Dweller, which is also fairly substantial - I imagi... 

Yes, it is easy....actually pretty easy (and cheap) while using just Photoshop. (Since I do not own 5960P yet ;-) . . ....  

Yes I think the pictures probably confirm that a black strap is the way forward. Probably best to give the brown one a chance though - you never know how things may grow on you. Do any of you guys know where I can actually see a 5960 in the flesh?? Do you...

Fantastic Guys - thanks for all the info. Looking forward to the arrival of my 5960! Cheers. Graeme

BTW Zane trust you don't think the 5960 is a better watch than the 3970/5970 - just that it fits your wrist better? ;-)

It fits nicely but yes 3970 is one of the best watches around IMO.

I have a 5960A1-001 for sale currently for a good deal something has caught my eye and I'm on my heels and toes to get it. Feel free to contact me (i.e. DM or email) I can provide pictures..I tried to post them to this link but unfortunately I am a new us... 

I'm owning my 5960P for already 10 years and wear it with great joy. On a more sporty strap the watch looks fantastic! This watch with the first PP inhouse chronograph movement is a PP milestone 👍🏼 ...  

I see that this 17yo thread post was bumped by a new member that just joined today....by since my new friend/5940 enabler, Watchlover42 commented ...... Owned 5960P ....twice. Sold the first one to fund my business almost 10 years ago. Purchased again 3 y...
