They’re essentially completely different watches except for the case and movement. Both beautiful but if pushed I would take the A (or G)
for its sportier handset and the finishing of the calendar windows. There’s many more tiny differences but these two swing the balance in the A’s favour for me.
Inspired by Christian…5960 is indeed attractive.
And just in time, my 5960P-001 was back from spa after 5 months for regular servicing. If you know my style, it is very rare I will get both functionality and similar look watches but the A black is so nice and I also like this model on strap so I ended u...
Superb pair!
For me the patriarch of all PP variants of their self-winding chronos and triple date windows post 2006. So practical, useful, classical, and above all beautiful. I think you know what I would choose (when forced), but to be honest both are different and ...
I got hooked on this reference since the release of white dial A version…
Took me quite a few years to finally realize that dream. Totally agree this is a tough one to choose But luckily I don’t have to 🙏🏻
I never forget that day we met in Paris, when you secretly show me your A white dial on strap….
I still have that photo … now who’s the recidivist 😬?

That’s why both are 5960s if case and movement are the same 😅
They are very creative and smart to create the product into so many variants and yet not boring at all. Kudos to them rather than some others with just color dial differences. I have to admit I reach for the A more often.
I almost bought a 5960 so many times.
I could never decide which version to get. This is the right way to do it. Collect them all. Very nice!
Very nice duo! And a matching dark paired dial!
How do you like the optics on the black dialed A? I had the chance to try this on new but thought the dial and configuration made it look small (visually with the white ring around) so went out and got the silver/ white dial later 2nd hand. From a rarity ...
I have to say white dial was also a top choice so it is great to see you followed your heart and buy what you like, bravo!
The black dial has a look that attracts or sucks me into it, lol….I have to admit the rarity pushed me over but I will be happy with either one.
Fraternal twins with very different characteristics !
I prefer the bracelet because the powerful black dial provides a stark contrast to the light colored bracelet. Very eye catching ! Be double-wristed with them often !
Great analogy…and yes, “powerful” is the word I was trying to describe the black dial too…
It just keeps drawing me into it. I’ll double wrist when I have chance to wear a jacket 😅
Great reference.
You know already that I’m a big fan of this important watch and am pleased to see you have the original Geneva seal. This watch excited me so much on launch. I’m pleased to say it still does to this day. You have the best of both worlds for this watch rig...
Yes, I can feel your passion for this reference…
I’m happy to get both versions although some will say the Lancaster version is the best A…that is a different league 😬 Enjoy yours as well, M.
Nice duo!
P for me, especially as I am not a fan of that bracelet, but also for the dial!
They are so very different. A perfect set…
..and really compliment each other well. I had the 5960 P as my desk top back ground for more than a year. It’s such a beautiful Watch. I really like the idea that you have ave the first and the last of this successfull Patek. Very well played 👌
I’m really tempted to find a nice strap for the A, like yours….
But I’m a conservative and not skillful person, not good at swapping, afraid to scratch’s the lugs. I wish more brands/models have quick releases for bracelets like the VCs, APs, Hublots and many others. Thank you!
i love both ! Perfect in duo !
The A more cool, sporty and light; the P more strong and classy ! A matte and a sunray dial
Agreed the As are very sporty, cool and P is a little too heavy…
I like the looks of this model on strap so getter both makes me happy 😊
lovely pair
easy for this reference to justify 2, especially since the A has such different character from the precious metal versions. for choice here I would go with your A, but the P is not far behind!
Thanks for your input K 🙏🏻
I remember you also have both, the special A and this grey P, so you might be one of the members who planted a seed in my head.
Hahaha
Well I am happy that you enjoy both! Hope you were included in the roll call we did a while back to count all the 5960 here amongst us in the forum!
