the design change in 2014/2015 with the 5960/1A
I thought much needed enhancements were made when PP added the framing to the day and month apertures and brought more depth to the totalizer rings. The early generation precious metal 5960 series were too flat for my taste and I found it odd that only the date aperture had a frame. We can see wth the current 5960/1G released since 2017 that PP felt more harmony with the updates and kept it for precious metal ref.
Two shots of the Patek Phiippe 5960R.
After the 5960A white and black, the 5960P with the ruthenium and the blue dial and the 5960G and its blue dial, I had the opportunity to see the 5960R in this dial configuration. I still have to find a black dialed 5960R, black dialed 5960P, and Kek's Le...
To me the most convincing alteration of the 5960 theme
Great dial in a classic rose gold case that is only a tad big, but it suits this noble and spectacular watch.
That’s IT!
Definitely my favorite variation on that reference. I have always liked the 5960, but I could actually see myself buying the watch in that configuration. Very nice Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Nico --- I think this version is also gorgeous, especially the way the dial matches the rose gold of the case...
I look forward to your full set of pictures, but until then I'm afraid I'm also voting for Keks' Leicester version Not to mention that if now he also has a Chelsea one, then he's getting two of my votes! )) Take care.
Gorgeous this R
I have been very close to adding one of these but never crossed the finishing line.... but the R in this version or with the black dial (and very importantly black date) are superb!
After the original version ....
.... this is the best variation, BY FAR, of this reference. I passed on it because I was in pursuit of another piece ... and I've always considered it a mistake. The dial of this "R" version is truly beautiful! Enjoy!
I've never handled it myself, but I guess it's gorgeous
Being a white-metal guy, I believe I could give a try to one of these! Looking forward to your future post. Several Purists here have a WT collection, but a 5960 full set could be a nice target as well. 😉
No, I prefer those others. But for the man who enjoys colored metal watches...
I think this execution has some strong merit!
