Watch looks in a great shape from June 2018, so I’m happy…
I’m very particular buying preowned because I took great care of my watches, so this is another reason I prefer brand new.
This bracelet is super comfortable, should be similar to your 5131/1Pmless the weight. Thanks my friend…now I open myself to more options to get watches I want 😁
Like a dream…
A lot has been discussed about this 5960. Even since the release in 2014 for the /1A version, there are many complaints about the shiny 5 link bracelets and even threads to discuss how to swap into the leather strap version, particularly by a big collecto...
Fantastic! Loving the personality of this 5960! ;))
I think the bracelet and the whole ensemble just works, and this 5960A is in a fine class within the PP classics. Huge congratulations and looking forward to a photo next to its brother in the near future!
A nice change and variety to the famous Nautilus bracelets…
But I think it wears very nice and comfortable, not need to worry about hairline scratches since it is shiny.
Congrats brother on a nice addition to your collection..
Unfortunately, sometimes we have to pay up although we would rather not to for certain things we desire. Been there done that, although I would have preferred not to. Enjoy it in the best of health.
Thanks brother…it is outside my comfort zone but…
There is always a first for many things. Maybe a lesson learned not to wait when we like a watch but today’s situation becomes tricky….they don’t have watches for us to buy, lol….or bundles which I am not playing the game. With that, now I fully understoo...
I totally get it with market frustrations..
At least it seems like things are beginning to cool down a bit, so hopefully the speculators exit the scene and things can begin to regain normalcy. I'm also exhausted with ridiculous second hand prices on cars and watches. But like you, I was not immune ...
I think we are seeing some of it, which is good…
Hopefully ADs will start to remember and realize who are the real customers.
Problem is: I'm not sure I will be back when the tides turn for the AD's and boutiques that would not take my orders.
I won't be there to prop them up if they fall. These are watches not necessities and for the most part we have a pretty good sized collection where we don't really need another watch.
That’s the power and beauty of this community…
Now I can have the best of both worlds on the 5960, imho….exclude the one offs or football clubs 😁
The dial design, chrono rings and the window cut outs are all different…
This broke my rule of not getting redundancy but I see so much differences between these 2 so I went with it.
Haha…Thank you Christian…
Good deal or not is all relative…it’s a win win situation to me if I made this decision, and so is the seller,
Wow 🤩 another great pick up !
“Clueless” you are so clued-in for your Patek collection !👍 Well done again and have fun rotating yet another piece in your ever expanding collection ! 💪
You’re too kind to say my “ever expanding” collection 😅
Many PP collectors will be laughing at me. This year is super slow, not sure where are all the inventory hiding? Thank you and have a great weekend Gordon.
Hi V, Great sports watch to witness a Rousseau lion 🦁 hunting !
Did this safari trip take place at Fondation Beyeler ??
This is plain awesome!
Really happy for you to be able to get hold of one, this is becoming a unicorn if not already.... Do try swapping the bracelet out for a strap. The 5960/1A is incredibly versatile!
More appeared recently and I think this may be a good time to start looking…
If I don’t have the P, I’ll definitely try that, but will have to go back and search for the early recommendations by members and order the strap first….or maybe the one like 5960G will work. Thank you.
Great catch, Raymond. Huge congratulations.
In the beginning, I had the same issue with 5131/1P. I thought I didn’t like the bracelet and that kept me from ordering the watch. Well, I was lucky enough to change my mind shortly before it was discontinued. Nowadays, 5131/1P is my favorite piece in my...
I noticed that too….and maybe someday I should also hunt for that 5131/1P as well.
Thanks V, always enjoy your seeing your stunning collection of PPs. I realized you’ve moved on from AP, any reason to share and regrets?
Many congrats for this nice catch!
And thank you for the story behind. Cordially Thomas
You’re very welcome Thomas…
This is one of those journeys that many have experienced…just very very rare for me.
Great find and I’m sure price will seem “inexpensive” in a few years
Awesome incoming! Watch looks “brand new” and being SS will definitely be easier to wear. I guess it also depends on the weather where you live. I prefer bracelets to straps due to the humid summers. Wear it in good health and congrats!!🍾🎊

Thank you bro…I know you have regrets for not taking this back in the days in Pars salon…
With your recent mega pickups from the other discontinued pieces, this seems a bargain, maybe it’s time to check it out.
