Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Chronograph 5960/1A-010

The Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Chronograph Ref. 5960/1A-010 epitomizes the brand’s dedication to mechanical excellence and timeless elegance. Crafted in lustrous 18k white gold, the 40.5 mm case showcases a refined silhouette with the signature rounded octagonal bezel, seamlessly blending sporty versatility with sophisticated charm. Polished surfaces highlight the precious metal’s brilliance, while a bezel adorned with brilliant-cut diamonds adds a touch of understated luxury without overpowering the watch’s clean lines.

Beneath the sapphire crystal lies a striking white embossed dial, featuring the iconic Aquanaut pattern that echoes the watch’s dynamic spirit. Three apertures gracefully arranged across the upper half display the annual calendar’s day, date, and month, requiring only one adjustment per year. At 6 o’clock, a monocounter subdial integrates the chronograph’s hour and minute registers, maintaining a balanced and uncluttered dial layout. A discreet power reserve indicator near 12 o’clock and a 24-hour scale further enhance the watch’s functionality, ensuring precise timekeeping and effortless calendar management.

Powered by the self-winding Caliber CH 28‑520 IRM QA 24H, the movement boasts impeccable finishing with Geneva stripes, polished bevels, and a 21k gold rotor engraved with the Calatrava cross, all visible through the exhibition caseback. This meticulous craftsmanship is a testament to Patek Philippe’s haute horlogerie standards.

Completing the ensemble is a hand-stitched alligator leather strap in a classic hue, secured by a white gold folding clasp adorned with the Patek Philippe emblem. The 5960/1A-010 is a harmonious blend of technical sophistication and elegant design, making it a coveted addition to any discerning collector’s repertoire.
