As Patek Philippe’s first self-winding timepiece allying the chronograph and annual calendar complication, the reference 5960 quickly grasped the attention of collectors and became one of the most popular timepieces of the manufacture.
Encompassing the Patek Philippe in-house caliber CH28-520 IRM QA 24H made of 456 parts, the timepiece features through its dial a day, date and month aperture, a power reserve display and subsidiary dial for the chronograph function with a day and night indicator.
The present 5960P with blue dial was discontinued in 2014 and replaced by the stainless steel version 5960/1A.
To the best of our knowledge, the present example has never been offered in public before.
