I am so pleased to see this feature in the latest Patek Magazine.
Thank you Nico for pointing it out to me. For me this speaks volumes. Geneva feel it is time to to put some well deserved light on the importance of the 5960. This is the Patek that I know and love. Subtlety lifting a well deserving timepiece into a bit o...
😂😂. Pages stuck together took me right back 🙈
Yes agreed. It’s always been a classic to me from day one. M.
You kill me.
I remember it so well I was in the Patek museum in 2006 and they played the 5960 video on the big screen. I was absolutely in love there and then. I just loved all it stood for how it looked and what it did in that order. I remember the emotion so well. O...
Here again, this watch was against my rules ( no annual calendar for me ) and even with the annual calendar, I wanted one. I guess the very classy ruthenium dial and the chrono mono counter helped a lot.
As for the 5970, your salmon dial is killing me. MY Grail!
Our own personal collecting rules are allowed to be broken occasionally.
That is another whole topic which I will do a post on but one of my very strict rules were “thou shall not have more than one of any reference in ones collection “. I have broken that. So yes it is ok to break our own rules. I have to say my friend that t...
Birth of a legend…… if you’ve not seen it you must.
Still makes me emotional now all these years later. M. Patek Philippe - Birth of a Legend
Wow....amazing they made a 9min video for this, even longer than the recent MRs.
I also noted many times they mentioned about the finishing for the Geneva Seal. Thanks for sharing this, makes me feel great I selected this -001 version too.
You made a good decision.
Yes a lot of effort a video and a recent article in their magazine. Not bad for a watch they made way too many of according to some so called experts 🙈🙈. They know something. M.
For me the obsession with this reference began after watching that video!
Very pleased with this feature article in the 25th anniversary edition!
Yes it is about time.
Interesting you like me watched that video and fell in love. When was that? Like me in 2006 or more recently??? M.
I actually think it will. But for me most of its charm is that the masses wearing Nautilus’ don’t get it.
They just want to be seen down the country club or driving range with what they consider to be a desired watch on their wrist. Luckily I’m not a member of a golf club as I’d probably get banned very quickly 🙈😜. I actually do think this watch will one day ...
That’s it then my friend.
You need to organise a 2022 watch purist Golf GTG in France. I’d be on for that. Well I’ll drive NICO’s buggy that is. 😜😂. M.
Am amazing reference indeed
Perhaps it is time to refresh the roll call! Surely there must be some new owners here…
yes hope so
there are some shy lurkers i bet... need to have them step into the roll!
I was thrilled when I saw this in the magazine!
As to it gaining more attention the recent auction results might attest to that. Also the values in C24 have been steadily going up of late. I know C24 isn’t the most accurate indicator but it’s at least consistent so can’t be ignored. Incidentally Patek ...
