Patek Philippe

Seen couple weeks ago back in December last yr, says that patek is discontinuing 5960 white dial. Has anyone heard something similar? Sourced from a collector on instagram. Still I can see it on pp website also I just paid a visit to the ad before Christm...  

Best, vin

I presume they are using the last dials and then it's goodbyes. Best, Kari

if being collectible or desirable is what you are looking for, assuming. It may mean something better is replacing it, like the black dial or the blue WG model. The 5170G white dial was also discontinued, as a similar example. This white dial 5960/1A has ...
