My Patek Philippe 5960/1A-010. A steel annual calendar flyback chrono with ebony dial produced for less than a year (introduced at BaselWorld 2017 and discontinued in earl 2018. I really like the red 1 date (all other dates are in white). Rick ...

A rare bird and beauty indeed! Much more attractive than the white dial. A keeper for posterity

Nice one indeed. I was wondering about the date color when I saw your picture! Any history as to why only the 1 is red? Also look superb with the bracelet!

I really don’t know why the “1” is red and other dates white. I’d welcome any input from the Patek collector community!

I heard that at the start of each month, I made a special color so that I can reset my mood.

Very cool looking one, indeed. and with some horological content! You didn't mention that it also gives you the power reserve and the night and day indication.

+1, and also the Leicester edition (though I believe the OP here meant that all other date numbers on this specific reference are in white, which is also correct ;-)

This watch is a very functional piece as well !

That is correct, a superb and reasonably rare 5960 iteration -- perhaps my favorite of the several that were offered (with the possible exception of the Leicester edition)! ;-) Enjoy.

I love this 5960/1A black dial and it still remains a small regret for me. Was offered this black dial from Patek Place Vendôme but politely declined to buy something else at the time 🤦‍♂️😔
