Patek Philippe Complications 5960A-001 Discontinued

About This Watch

The Patek Philippe Complications 5960A-001 in stainless steel was one of the first complicated Patek Philippe watches offered in steel, and it caused a sensation upon release. The combination of a flyback chronograph, annual calendar, and power reserve indicator in a stainless steel case from the world's most prestigious watchmaker was unprecedented. The 5960 series features a unique dial layout with the chronograph displayed via a single sub-dial at 6 o'clock that functions as both a 30-minute counter and running seconds indicator, with a 12-hour counter at 12 o'clock. The annual calendar information appears in three windows arranged across the top of the dial. The black dial with applied gold hour markers creates a dressy, sophisticated appearance despite the steel case. The caliber CH 28-520 IRM QA 24H is one of Patek Philippe's most complex movements, integrating multiple complications into a cohesive whole. Discontinued in 2021, the steel 5960 has become a collector's piece, representing the era when Patek Philippe began offering complicated watches to a broader audience through the use of stainless steel.
