Full-Cataloguing
- Introduced in 2017, the Patek Philippe reference 5960/1A-010 pairs the manufacture's celebrated Annual Calendar Chronograph with a stainless steel case and bracelet, distinguished by its ebony black opaline dial and the coveted Tiffany & Co. retailer signature.
- The highly legible dial features the reference's signature three-aperture annual calendar display, a central flyback chronograph, power reserve indication at 12 o'clock, and Patek Philippe's innovative monocounter at 6 o'clock combining the chronograph minute and hour registers with the day/night indicator.
- At its heart is the self-winding calibre CH 28-520 IRM QA 24H, Patek Philippe's first in-house integrated automatic chronograph movement, incorporating a column wheel, vertical clutch, flyback chronograph, annual calendar, and approximately 55 hours of power reserve, all visible through the sapphire crystal case back.
- Produced for a brief period before its discontinuation in 2018, the reference 5960/1A-010 is among the most sought-after modern complicated stainless steel Patek Philippe models, while examples bearing the Tiffany & Co. signature are especially prized for their rarity and collectability. The present watch is the second one known to come to auction with this signature.
