If it doesn't hold value
maybe hope for us mere mortals. I get by in UK with a 16520 Daytona and a PAM 22A and can only dream of a complicated Patek. Only Patek I've had was a 5120J
Whilst I hate the grey skies and grey mood here in the U.K.
I never tire of looking at this grey object. I recently had a heated debate on IG with a guy who was trying to slate the 5960 and his only reason was because it’s value is low at auction and on the market and that too many were produced. When I pushed him...
History in the making
The 5960, especially the first reference, this 5960P-001, holds a very special place in modern PP history, for the reasons you mentioned. But, beyond that, it is a very beautiful, understated and cool statement piece, representing what PP is all about. A ...
Thank you and Yes for me also.
It is the perfect sporty dress watch and its wrist presence is incredible. Enjoy yours my friend. Miles.
Excellent points, Miles. I can tell you that this watch, with this dial, made me like annual calendars, which was all but evident for me. This hue is sublime.
Rare or not rare, keeping the value or not, this is not the most important point. Well said! Best, Nicolas
Thank you my friend.
I’m pleased it gives you the same feeling. That means I am in good company. M.

Miles,you take one mean photo!!
That is photography at its best!!! The watch is not too bad either
Great post, dear Miles_151!
And great attitude. Like this! And your watch. ☺️ I still regret I have refused to buy it about 8 years ago when my AD offered it to me. Wear it in good health and with most possible joy! Best, Thomas
It’s never too late.
Apparently nobody wants them 😉. Thank you for your kind words. M.
Glad you stayed with your logical arguments and not just based your thought on...
value. If a watch makes you truly happy, it is then priceless to you!
Value value value....
When I bought my first Patek about ten years ago I bought a 5711. This was not a hot watch the way it is now. My dream then was to step up and get a 5960P one day... a few years later that dream came realized. The 5060P is still with me the 5711 is long g...
Pleased to hear that story.
And that you managed to squire a 5960P along your way. 5980 and 5960P make a great combo and are creations from the same inspiration. Enjoy. M.
Great watch and great photo as well.
I'm trying to resist not to buy the 5960G, although I like it very much, as I'm awaiting delivery of the 5990. Aris
I love this watch, and I really want to acquire one for myself.
I’m just waiting to build the funds. Beautiful piece!
Beautiful 5960p...
The watch market is a fickle place and with most great Pateks it can take time for them to reach greatness. Buy what you like and let the market come to you.
Wise words. Thank you.
And ones that I have always followed. My eyes and heart have always made all my watch purchase decisions. M.
I'm so happy to see that the market doesn't appreciate the 5960P-001...
Because it has allowed me to buy one! 😉 Jokes aside, I believe that guy on IG was speaking about investments instead of about watches. IMO, the 5960P-001 is one of the best watches out there and, if you consider current market price, I would say that it's...
„but I decided some time ago to spend my money on the things I like instead of on the things that please others.“
Great statement! There is nothing more to be said. Best, Thomas
So please to hear this. Thank you.
Great picture of what looks like a lovely watch. Enjoy. M.
