I love 5905 but
Ive owned a 5905P for a very long time black dial but I ended up getting a 5960P grey Dial as its smaller (40,5 mm instead of 42) and its easier to read and wears better and has the beautiful calatrave cross clasp which I prefer. Im a big fan of 5960s but I do recommend selling the 5905P for a 5960P going from Platinum to Platinum is the right way to go ;P
Thoughts on selling my 5905P
Cognoscenti, I’m thinking about selling my 5905P. This is a 42mm platinum Patek with a LOT of wrist presence and I love how it wears, but I’ve become a bit annoyed with it as of late because I’m finding it very difficult to read the time. The white gold h...

I have similar legibility issues with my Daytona but there are so many other things I like about it that I can get past the relatively poor legibility. Good luck with your decision.
I totally understand that, your selection and variety is already awesome.

Legibility is very important IMO
If a timepiece is poor at its intended function, then it becomes jewelry. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But I am old school and see my watches as tools first and jewelry second and nothing lasts too long in my collection if that is reversed. ...
I completely agree
Thus I sold my Daytona (black dial) for exactly the same reason - invisibility
So true...
...and the main reason I have not gotten a ceramic Daytona so far. No matter if white or black dial they are beautiful but don't tell the time...

I have a 5905P as a daily wearer
It is my least complicated timepiece in my collection by some mile, however I find it very stylish and easy to wear. I personally don’t have trouble telling the time on it, but if that’s an issue for you, maybe you should go for an alternative option. ...
