You are right about the P, it definitely has a more vintage spirit. The As and the G are more versatile, it is a matter of taste between these more modern iterations. I have a light preference for the White A.
Patek Philippe 5960P.
When issued in 2006, it was love at first sight. This ruthenium dial is mesmerizing. And the concept pleases me, too. Best, Nicolas ...
Love at first sight for me as well 😍
But it took me another 8 years before I could pull the trigger. Since than it's one of my fav in my collection ...
Very similar story here...
It took me a while, but couldn't be happier with mine 🤗 ...
Thanks, my friend!
I took it with my phone during a recent flight to Italy, I wanted to capture the combination with my brand new gray strap 😊
Couldn’t agree more !.. I love mine as well !
Season’s Greetings for a Happy New Year 2026 to you & yours ‼️🍀🍾 Best, 😊 Kind greetings from mine ! ...
A seriously great watch.
And for me also birth of a legend was a very powerful emotion trigger. I think this watch is still the most underrated watch in platinum ever created by Patek Philippe and will always be in my top 3 favourite watches. Why it’s not more popular is a myster...
A real conundrum.
I don’t believe all the “they made too many of them” lot one bit. Patek would never make too many platinum anything. Just one of those unexplainable things I guess. It’s a bit like why so many collectors don’t care that their beloved PN’s have fake dial o...
All things being equal
They will. But we live in an increasingly strange world these days. Not like the good old days my old buddy 😜. M.
Didn't intend to love it - but it did NOTHING wrong
Agree - this is an outstanding piece. I was allowed to try on the 5960P a couple years ago at a reseller in NYC. A busy, breathless, hectic schedule of running around to various resellers on Madison as well as the venerable 47th Street. I tried on this wa...
The 5960P gets a lot of ❤️ love on this forum
In a way that specs (weight, thickness, the slightly-too-green superluminova) are unable to "explain". Handling the 5960p has shown me how a concave bezel is a wonderful thing; since handling the 5960p I could appreciate why Patek wouldn't put the word 'f...
Dear Amanico, I handled 5960/1A white and 5960p gray for as long as I wanted,
And 5960g blue briefly. I read most of your comments about various 5960s. Nowadays, do you have a preference for the 1A white or G / blue dial, given a choice between only these 2 pieces? (Personally I think these two are easier to wear daily; even though...
Thank you for writing back.
A local (secondary, used) dealer has 5960/1a white, G/ blue dial, and the original 5960p sitting next to each other, behind the vitrine. I can't help but imagine some trading scenarios. Regards, chk
