Since its launch in 2006, the reference 5960 has undergone various configurations, first offered only in platinum with an anthracite grey dial and for a short period of time, the 5960 was also available as seen in the present example, with a platinum case and a “bleu soleil” or sunburst blue dial, known as the ref. 5960P-015.

The annual calendar can be viewed through the 3 window apertures located on the top half of the dial with a mono-counter located at 6 o’clock that consists of a 60 minutes counter that surrounds the 12-hour counter on the inside. Another smaller detail that is worth noting is a flawless diamond placed subtly at the 6 o’clock of the case that is only used by Patek Philippe on platinum cases.

One of the most wearable and approachable of Patek Philippe “complication” series ever produced, reference 5960P is nothing short of a refined and surprisingly sporty watch that packs a punch when it’s on the wrist. Presented in a later sealed condition and complete with all its accessories, it is a perfect example for collectors to have in their collection.
