Patek Philippe ref. 5960 - All variants
Having done some research on this model, I thought it'd be fun to have all the variants in one place. Enjoy! PS: my personal favorites are the original platinum/grey dial and the rose gold variants (grey dial, black dial with black discs & white dial). An...
Great post. Thank uou. ..5960 is one of my favorite references....
Started with 5960p. Absolutely loved that watch (still do) and had it painted in oil by my sister, who is an artist. As I got older, I found out that the 5960 in steel is easier for my eyes to read and decided to sell the Platinum version and keeping the ...
Very impressive photos and painting (your sister is very talented)!
I think that what I love the most about this watch might be the case, in particular the wonderful profile as shown on the photo below. Thanks for looking and enjoy your steel (and well strapped) beauty! ...
The 5960R-001 (Grey dial 2009-2012) was the first watch with the then New PP Seal.
It is also my favourite version of all 5960.
Thanks for this information!
In the discussion below Watchlover42's recent post, both him and Miles_151 say how important it is for them that their first gen 5960P still have the Geneva Seal. The first 5960P-001 (Grey dial 2006-2013) were probably the last of this kind.
That's true! I really like this little detail 👌 Let's be honest, we watch lovers all have a little quirk 😜
Great pictures by the way! My compliments to your sister. what a great painting 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I completely understand this attachment to the Geneva seal.
I hope I’ll be lucky enough to see the platinum and rose gold grey dial variants in real life someday (I’ve never seen any real 5960 yet)!
the original was spot on for me
even if it took a while for the market to warm up to it. A strong second is the white gold blue dial : great texture !
Comprehensive!
Leicester Football Club watch is pretty cool and I'm honored to have seen one!
Cool indeed! But I personally miss the leaf hands.
And the more dressy look of the platinum and rose gold variants. Matter of taste of course.
For me, the 5960P in grey dial is still my go to.
Great watch. I really enjoyed that watch! Too bad the towel dog wouldn't give it back! ...
He ate it! Like he ate the neighbor's kids' homework!
Very hungry dog with expensive taste!
Yes, incredible versatility.
And I would say that there are two quite different families: with leaf hands (dressier aesthetic); without leaf hands (sportier aesthetic).
On behalf of our forum, thank you for a
fantastic post on 5960s ! Is/are yours in the photo(s) ?
Thank you so much.
Unfortunately, I haven’t even seen any 5960 in real life yet… I hope to be able to someday (platinum and rose gold grey dial variants especially).
Wow fantastic work getting them all together.
Love the oil Painting of my favourite. As explained previously the original just pleases my eyes the most by some way. As a collector it is also the little details which make a watch more exciting to me. I remember being very excited when the first auto C...
I fully understand your taste for the original variant, and
your attachment to the Geneva Seal. And I hope I’ll be able to see it in real life someday!
Thank you for a great post!
Extremely informative and complete. And wow. Just WOW. I would say that all these iterations are my favorite. Each is special in its own way. Truly PP. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for looking, Gary!
It's an impressive model and I would certainly agree that each variant has its own charm. Best, Emmanuel
My fav would be the platinum black dial
If only they can make the day and month windows the same size and shape..
Well, if you want the 3 apertures to look the same, you have to choose a steel variant or the 2017 white gold!
But the platinum/black dial still looks very good, imo, as well as the other variants with a special aperture for the date. Thanks for looking.
