I think your astute comment is exactly right. The watch, particularly with the orange strap does make a statement. That is a conundrum
for me. I generally prefer that the watch I wear not make a statement, at least to people who might have have bad intentions. On the other hand the orange strap seems so perfect for the watch. So I decided to go with what I perceive as the perfect combination.
A while back I had the good fortune to acquire a 5968A. Before reaching the point of seeking it, I first had to be convinced that it
wouldn’t overwhelm my small (16.5 cm / 6 1/2 “) wrist. Having tried on the various variants of 5968, I felt confident, the size and weight at least in steel, would not be a problem. That has proven to be true. Though quite large, the size is aesthetically...
It’s a great choice for a sports Patek.
And I do love the orange. It really pops just the right amount.
Thanks for the compliment. Thought about wearing it with the additional black strap to try to make it a bit under the radar
but couldn’t bring myself to do it.
Totally agree
love my 5968G. Really nice weight to it, dresses up and down. Sometimes I catch myself just staring at its beauty . Love yours too. Enjoy and wear in the best of health. ...

Nice. Functional. Excellent time piece. 😊
Versatile. To time ones achievement or happy moments you need to have a chrono. Geross.
Tiffany too, fantastic.
I find the 5968 very male, not unisex like the 5167. Requires a good mood to wear the 5968, I think. In the right mood, the 5968 looks great in any case (material). Regards, Chk
Thank you for your compliment and comments. I agree it does like great in any case/dial. I had the opportunity to try the RG/brown dial.
Loved the look but too heavy given its large size for my wrist. Also in RG as compared to WG, it was a bit over the top for me. Best; Patekova
Huge congratulations Patekova in collecting this 5968A !
The orange hands and markers (on top of the black dial) match the strap perfectly, and this combination is super sporty with a great looking contrast ! The ability to have the chrono seconds hand continuously running is a big + IMO because the orange hand...
Gordon thank you for all the incredibly nice things you say about both the watch, how I acquired it and about me.
Perhaps you were overstating things, but I am glad to take the compliments😊 wishing you all the best, Patekova
Funny although I'm not sure where I fit in with that. Orange is definitely not one of my favorite colors.
That' said, totally understand your perspective which makes a whole lot of sense.
