How a strap can change a watch.
The 5960 P with the blue dial is and remains one of my favorite watches in the collection. Without going into the extremes (yellow,orange,purple,etc ....) I want to demonstrate the importance of straps for the perception of the watch. First with the OEM d...
In total agreement that straps bring out different characters of a watch.
And your well-taken photos highlight this well! The 5960 is one of my favorite references from Patek, and this variation is perhaps the classiest.
