They are different and both nice, though you should buy a 5960 only if you want a 5960, not as a substitute for, say, a 5711/5167...How about the black dial rather than the white one? ;-) [nt]
No message body
Is it too redundant to own both a 5905P and 5960A?
I currently own a 5905P annual calendar chronograph and love it and will never sell. But I am not in range at my two Patek ADs to ever to be offered a Nautilus in my current lifetime and I have an insatiable desire for a stainless steel Patek sports watch...
Not redundant
I see them as very different references and wouldn't be concerned about redundancy because they'd likely occupy different niches in your wearing habits. The differences in metal, dials, colors, size, pushers, and sportiness easily distinguish them. Park
I don’t see them being competitors or too similar.
And this 5960 is for certain very sporty, perhaps more so with the white dial than the black. Look forward to hearing about what you decide.
i've seen the 5960A white dial in person....it is a very versatile watch & it is something pictures don't do justice IMHO.
also i think the White dial is very adaptive to various leather straps !
The first shot of the 5960/1A is beautiful ...
... and I like it a lot overall but details keep irritating me including the power reserve w/o scale, the busy subdial, and the shiny bracelet in conflict w the general sportiness. While it is certainly different from your 5905P, I do think one ACC is eno...
I like your 5905P very much.
For me the most appealing AC from PP. Especially I appreciate that the windows are not white but in the same colour as the dial. Best Thomas
If you want a Patek steel bracelet sports/sporty watch, then 5960/1A white dial meets the bill ! From an overall collection, IMO you should also consider...
how the 5960 fits within your longer term “strategy”, especially you already have some significant Pateks. For me, although the 5905 and 5960 have different color dials, functionally they are the same and have the same dial lay-out with same apertures. Le...
Definitely not... They're quite....
different watches on the wrist I have got only the blue 5905P and the grey 5960P, but the 5960/1A will fit good together with the 5905P... ...
Given your collection I would get in touch with the Salon
And demand to be put on a wish list for a steel Nautilus, cannot j’imagine they wouldn’t oblige.
Two things here
1. If you bought them new you will already have a standing with a Salon or an AD, this way it’s easier to get on the list and receive your watch. So I understand all the pieces were bought from fellow collectors? 2. Salons by definition are not like ADs -...
