Hours counter on the inside or outside?
Looking at all the photos, do owners prefer the hours counter on the outside (as on my 5960A white opaline dial) or on the inside? Is there a legibility improvement in one version over the other? Why did Patek change it?
Some Patek Philippe 5960 variations...
I still have to find some versions to cover all the 5960 versions, but let's start with those. 5960P Blue: 5960P Grey: 5960R Brown: 5960A Leicester: 5960A Grey Silver opaline: To be followed... Best, Nicolas ...
How i love this reference.
What is missing ? A black, R white and black, P Russia, and G ?
Moscow edition is 5960G-010 and it is not a P
Also missing is special version of 5960P with the bracelet.
Obviously I went for the blue dial version.
But it was a very close call with the original grey dial version. I also do like a lot the latest G version (not sure whether still produced). ...
Silver dial on taupe strap is a killer.
Grey dial pushes my buttons too. Terrific photos as usual. M4
My favorite from the ones you posted Nicolas is
...the Leicester version. My overall favorite of this reference is the P with all black dial. All the best, Niall
Love this 5960. Bought the white dial when it first came out and kept it for a while before giving it to a relative. Had a chance to purchase the black dual from Patek Place Vendome...
and even went to the boutique to try it on at the time. I decided on another watch but kind of regret it a bit since the black dial was such a short run. Guess that is life. You win some and you lose some 🤷♂️ IMHO, the 5960 is one of Patek's best modern ...
Well, if I did purchase the black dial I most certainly would have kept it but at that time I decided on another watch instead of the black 5960/1A 😔🤷♂️
not the first or last watch regret sadly, such is life 🤭
It was not a total loss as I think I did well with my other choice BUT as I always say to you or others, the correct choice would have been BOTH...
this was my choice at the time. Belonged to a friend and decided between this and the 5960/1A black. The ONLY answer should have been both but I don't think I could have gone wrong either way 😁 ...
It was a difficult choice at the time but in the end I thought it would be easier to get a black 5960/1A in the future than this Comex Sub so I had to make the choice...
If I could do it all over again, I will most certainly take both and not have the regret 😉
No such thing as ONLY and if so, it would not be either of these if it had to be ONE...
knowing more today, I would choose the 5960/1A black dial since I would probably wear it more often.
These are all beautiful. I'm taken with the steel versions
Although the blue dial on the Platinum gets my vote. Those of you who own one: how pleased are you with the chronograph function on the watch?
Hours counter on the inside or outside?

Each has its own charm ! Thanks for the post Nicolas ! Naturally knowing about the uniqueness of the...
Leicester Fox 🦊, it carries a “special” status and its color scheme is also well done.
For me that is the most beautiful and most collectible! 💗
And the bracelet, wich I like a lot, makes it a 24/7 watch. Perfect to me! ...
One year production make it a relatively rare watch.
I don't know the exact production numbers for the 5960/1A black dial but I think 5960G -010 Moscow edition (100 pieces) is rare compared to the 5960/1A black dial. 5960P-016 was also produced for 1 year and that makes it a rare watch too. I regret not get...
