  • Catalogue Essay

    - Originally launched in 2006, the Patek Philippe reference 5960P embodies the first time Patek Philippe release a chronograph with calendar functions that are not perpetual. A milestone reference for the brand, inside the timepiece is powered by their first self-winding chronograph – the calibre CH 28-520, designed and manufactured completely in-house.

    - The chronographic subdial at 6 o’ clock incorporates both the minutes and the hours counters, rendering this the first time a 12-hour counter is incorporated in a Patek Philippe serially produced timepiece.

    - Offering an annual calendar, flyback chronograph, and in-house movement in a stylish platinum case, the present Patek Philippe reference 5960 represented a turning point for the brand and has since secured its status as a contemporary icon.

    - This extremely well preserved example from 2016, with its original set of accessories provides an opportunity to acquire a landmark reference that shaped Patek Philippe's modern chronograph and sports watch collections.
