Steel 5960 or 5205
First I wanted to buy a nice white gold 6000. But after reading the big catalogue over and over again, I upped the ante ;-) What do you guys think about the steel 5960 and will be it be as special as the older steel Pateks. Some people think the steel 5960 will be selling over list price reel soon
So it's either going to be the 5960 or 5205. Decisions decisions....

Both are nice and IMO your choice depends on what complications you want
I would not count on 5960 selling higher than retail as the key decision factor Even if it does sell higher than retail in the beginning, its regular production over time (I think) is likely to bring it back down to retail.

The 5960/1A will certainly be a popular watch. But I think Patek will be able to keep up with the demand as it is neither a new reference or a new movement. It will certainly appeal to many collectors for being produced in SS metal for a complicated non-s...
