Thanks Greg!
I'm still into them.. It's just that I always wanted some finer finished watches for a change..
I have always appreciated them.. And it's nice to finally be able to own one
It really is a very pleasing watch to be worn. And I think being an annual calendar and having an automatic movement , gives the watch a charm of it's own
Best,.

OK.. I have a confession to make...
Not too long after I got my 5712/1A, I decided to make a move on my second Patek Philippe, the 5960P I was looking to buy a Datograph, as I know how beautiful the movement architecture and finish of the Datograph.. But I have also been looking at the 5960...
I have to say that I find this dial so nice that it helps me to love it
Despite the annual calendar complication, which I don't like. But I love this dial so much that I would even forget it is aalso an annual calendar. One of the very few in the current collection I am seriously considering to buy. Huge congratulations, Sam....
I didn't realize that it was
A perfect timing for a confession.. But anyways, thank you for your kind words! And I didn't expect that this is a model that you'd actually like I think the design on this one is really fresh, it's unlike any other chronograph out there.. It's young and ...
I love the 5960P for what it is: a cool watch housing one of the first
If not the first in house Chrono movement from Patek. I am not fan of thge Annual Calendar because it is half way between the triple calendar and the perpetual calendar. This is this concept I don't like. BUT this one is so cool tht I can live with it, an...
I , too, also thought..
Of it that way too.. But I guess to put this annual calendar mechanism on this one makes it charming and still "affordable" Ah yes.. The mono counter is just lovely.. My first love with a Patek was with a 5980/1A, which I still really like.. It's a very n...
It was the first inhouse one
And as an annual calendar is a quintessential Patek complication they might have thought to combine it. My choice is the snow dome version: RG! Best Moritz
Congrats Sam!
This is a superb watch, the most important is your own feelings when you wear it. The concave case is very nice, I enjoy it a lot my 5205. Best. Fx
The 5205 is also...
Very nice with that concave case, and the detail they put in the lugs, made it more unique.. I love the dial on that one, which dial color did you get ? Thanks for your kind words FX Cheers Sam
Your picture give justice to such a great watch....
Not a fan of chronograph myself,unless they are special ones,I am more keen on the anuual calendar,but anyway all together this is such a pleasant watch. I really like it,and your pictures especially the movement one are gorgeous. I think a little Patek l...
Thanks for your kind words Mo
It really is not easy to capture the beauty of this watch.. It really is a looker in metal but really hard to take a good photo of it Best, Sam
congratulations - again
I just can't wait to see what you get for next week! Congratulations! Wear in good health.
Congratulations Sam............
This is getting something of a ritual. ;) What will you surprise us with next. :) Seriously, I am slightly envious of you. This original 5960P is my favourite not only of the model range but also as an Annual Calendar.
Thank you !
I don't think there will be anymore surprise anytime soon.. I guess I will have plenty of time to enjoy both my Patek Cheers Sam
I think I'm all done for now Joe..
I guess now I have to slowly hunt for my next vintage Rolex :)) Best, Sam
That was Fast Sam
You are begining to climb the patek ladder real fast. Congrates on this beauty. An icon to many patek fans. Truely one of the most beautiful and balance Patek imho. Wear it with much joy and Pride. And congratulation on your engagement. ( or is it wedding...
You knew this was coming bro..
Yes I do like the balance, and I seriously feel this watch is understated.. But I still am looking up on a 5070P, like yours.., I guess dreaming is a more appropriate word for me It was my wedding.. Thanks Iceman! Best, Sam
Double congratulation, my fren.
No doubt you made a right choice on this one. What I feel is best modern PP beside the 5980. Enjoy your new life with the watch. Regard Tyler
Thanks Tyler..
And thanks for your insights abut this watch to help me decide Thanks again for your kind words my friend.. Best, Sam
Congratulations Sam...
that is one of the more beautiful annual calendars. Simple ans elegant.
Congrats SAM!

Thanks Phil!
It's nice to have something different for a change.. Hope everything is well my friend Sam
My current favourite. Congratulations!
Your pitcures do it justice and the plainum grey dial is also my favourite version aesthetically. Best,
Congrats on the double bill !
2 exact choices that I would have made myself. In best of health, Sam !
Congratulations Sam! It looks great on the wrist!
First of all, congratulations. Not just on the watch, but on everything else. Secondly. Great photos! Love that concave bezel and it looks great on your wrist as well!
Thank you so much Patrick!
It's been a pleasure to know you And I'm really glad that you can help me out Hope everything is well there my friend Best, Sam
You can also used it as a second time zone, the chrono...
... as the chrono runs permanently in the background, regardless the hands moving or not. I very much like the pushers! Congrats Moritz
It's a very nice feature there..
Do you know if the chronograph hands will get stuck if it still running when the power reserve is running low? Best, Sam
This should not happen ... BUT ...
the change from long to short months needs a lot from the power and hence the indicator. It needs a whopping 25-30% when it should change from the 30th to the 1rst of a month as an annual calendar only. Make sure that the watch is sufficiently wound (watc...
It is a vertical clutch chrono, very little power seepage to the Chrono.
You can keep the chronograph running at all times if you chose to.
Wow so many FIRSTs! I'm happy for you Sam!
Nice to know your are venturing into watches with finer finishes nowadays. DNA and Historic stuff are great but they might bore you overtime :) I haven't seen one that has a better finish that datograph's but it's not just the movement, the 5960p is a ver...
Thanks Greg!
I'm still into them.. It's just that I always wanted some finer finished watches for a change.. I have always appreciated them.. And it's nice to finally be able to own one It really is a very pleasing watch to be worn. And I think being an annual calenda...

Thanks GG!
And thanks so much for pointing it out to me! Hope to see you again soon Sam
I've been too busy these days...
... and I obviously missed your great post: WOW great pictures of a stunning watch: congrats! It sits perfectly on your wrist and looks gorgeous. I love its design but it is too large and thick for my chicken's wrist! Wear it in the best of health! Best, ...
