Welcome (back) to my forum! ;-) An interesting question with a scholarly flavor which deserves a good answer :-) So here's mine....
As you well know, steel is an uncommon choice of metal for Patek, and for obvious reasons, is even more rarely associated with the Grand Complications catalog. In fact, the *current* catalog features as many as....zero "A" references! 
The configuration you are asking for (Grand Complication in steel, with a blue dial and Breguet numerals) is of course on an even higher level of exclusivity... But interestingly, as I was looking this up, it turns out that at least one other example besides this 5950/1A-010 was officially produced in recent years Below is the magnificent Ref. 5016A-010....a piece unique Patek created seven years ago, one the occasion of the charity auction "Only Watch" 2015:

This extraordinary Patek did not come with a bracelet, but I'm sure its owner would have had no problem to receive it as a "/1A" from Geneva after winning the auction, if they so chose... Therefore, you can consider your extra requirement of a bracelet to (almost) be satisfied as well! ;-))
With this brief search I could not spot more recent public references satisfying your criteria, so it will be interesting to see if other knowledgeable collectors weigh in with further models!
BTW, is that equally stunning 5950/1A-010 (a limited edition of 10) yours?? I know you already have several remarkable pieces....and this one is truly up there as well!
Thanks for a very interesting contribution! FabR (Patek moderator for WatchProSite)

Hi, sorry for late reply due to different timezone
Thank you so much for your comprehensive reply. much much appreciated my friend. I also manage to only find the 5016A from only watch as the only other Steel, blue dial ,in grand complication. Another steel with grand complication is the 1518 perp cal chr...
Thanks for the warm welcome
The case size is just perfect and the bracelet just hugs your wrist perfectly. Its not heavy thus very comfortable to wear.
I think this Patek . . .
. . . was cased in steel. Even had it on my wrist for a few moments. 😉 ...
It's amazing what people will let you do with their watches . . .
. . . if you ask nicely. 😇
It's ref 3939 cased in steel for Only Watch 2011, Fab . . .
. . . which I photographed in LA. The hands and indexes are white gold, as you surmised. Best, Art
My pleasure entirely! . . .
. . . having it briefly on my wrist was a special moment, and then some. If my name were Elon, it would be on my wrist more often.
I wonder if Elon wants to be known . . .
. . . as The Railmaster. I'd gladly swap titles so long as the benefits also accrue.
