5960P Owners Feedback?
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 part, but I really like the look of the watch from photos and it just seems like good value considering the platinum case and the complications on offer. My dream PP's are 3970, 5004 & 5016 in platinum, but won't be able to afford any of those any time soon. I'm looking to the 5960 as my everyday watch as it seems to have a very practical specification and despite 'only' having an annual calendar seems in the 'number of parts' stakes at least to have a lot of the more 'complex' Pateks beaten. Wondering if anybody out there has experience of owning a 5960 and can give me some feedback?? Cheers Graeme

5960

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...
5960

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...
5960 Strap
By: g.watt : June 27th, 2007-09:06
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...
I very much doubt that

Patek Salon in London will have one. I was there 2 months ago and although the folks there were super nice, they less than 1/2 the number of Pateks on hand when comparing to my local AD :-( But if you are in London - it should be pretty easy to see this w...
5960P is a great watch
By: Zane : June 27th, 2007-21:49
especially when you put it on. My AD asked me whether I wanted one when it was first introduced and I turned him down as I didn't like what I saw from the pictures and CD that he gave me. However, a couple of months later I saw it in metal and so I called...
