A masterpiece of modern haute horlogerie, combining a useful complication with heritage elegance, this Patek Philippe 5960/01G-001 embodies the manufacture's contemporary vision: integrated technical expertise, impeccable legibility, and understated sophistication. A versatile luxury timepiece for the discerning collector, it pairs an 18K white gold case with a deep blue dial structured by the combined display of the flyback chronograph and annual calendar. A full 2018 set, available immediately in Geneva, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire a Patek Philippe with a major complication in pristine condition.
The 40.5 mm polished white gold case exudes a measured presence: balanced proportions, fluid lugs, and a sapphire crystal case back revealing the architecture of the in-house caliber. The cool, satin-finished tone of the precious metal provides a backdrop for the blue dial, whose lacquered depth is punctuated by applied white gold hour markers and integrated silver subdials in a medallion design. The central hour and minute display maintains the functional purity so dear to the brand, while the compact arrangement of the calendar indications (day, date, month) offers intuitive readability. The central chronograph hand, combined with the flyback function, underscores the instrument-like character of the piece without compromising its refined aesthetic. The brown alligator leather strap, fastened with a signed white gold folding clasp, adds a textural warmth that balances the dial's chromatic freshness and enhances its versatility, making it suitable for both professional settings and formal occasions.
At its heart beats the automatic caliber CH 28-520 IRM QA 24H, a manufacture movement incorporating a column wheel, vertical clutch, and flyback function allowing for instant resetting and restarting of the chronograph. The annual calendar, an innovation that has become a Patek Philippe signature, automatically distinguishes between 30- and 31-day months and requires only a single annual adjustment at the end of February. The day/night indicator and power reserve complete an intellectually refined design sought after by connoisseurs. Chronometric precision, the smooth action, and the durability of the finishing meet the standards of contemporary haute horlogerie. Water-resistant to 30 meters, it is suitable for sophisticated urban wear, but the watch remains, above all, a timepiece of complication.
The 5960/01G-001 occupies a strategic segment: a sophisticated integrated complication without veering into the extreme formality of classic grand complications. Its harmonious modular architecture, the nobility of white gold, and the distinctive aesthetic of the blue dial lend it an immediately recognizable identity on the wrist. For a collection focused on functional diversity, it offers the rare combination of a flyback chronograph and an annual calendar in a format suitable for everyday wear. For the discerning investor, the combination of a full 2018 set, meticulous condition, and immediate availability enhances its heritage appeal, in a context where precious metal complication watches remain highly sought after.
