EUR 75,000 (excl. VAT)

In recent years Patek Philippe has released many interesting and complicated watches, raising the bar every day for quality and beauty. Given the large number of watches produced in the history of Patek, succeeding in creating an object that could be the first with a certain set of characteristics becomes increasingly difficult for the Swiss Polish brand but in 2006 was introduced the reference 5960. It is the first self-winding chronograph wristwatch to be fitted with an annual calendar complication. In fact, it was Patek Philippe’s first automatic chronograph ever produced. At the beginning it was available only in platinum with a gray dial and in 2009, this version also appeared with a steel/blue dial and became available in pink or white-gold while in 2014 was released in stainless steel. It is equipped with the in-house caliber CH 28–520 IRM QA 24H. This lot is offered in white gold is in very nice and great conditions, with a perfectly preserved case and sharply rounded pushers. The dial is untouched and perfectly combines day, date and month apertures, a power reserve display and a subsidiary dial for the chronograph with day and night indicators. Furthermore, the watch is retailed by Tiffany and Co, with the certificate of origin signed by the American brand and also comes with the original Tiffany blue box.
