Introduced in 2006, the Patek Philippe ref. 5960 annual calendar flyback chronograph stands as a pivotal achievement for the esteemed manufacturer. Together with the Nautilus ref. 5980, this model heralded a significant milestone: the integration of an in-🙈house chronograph movement into a non-perpetual calendar tiꦓmepiece. While earlier Patek Philippe watches relied on Lemania movements, the ref. 5960 showcased the brand's first fully in-house designed and assembled chronograph caliber. 

Central to its design is the commanding "bull’s eye" subdial at 6 o'clock, ingeniously merging the minute and hജour totalizers into a single register. Housed in a 40mm Cala🍎trava-inspired case, the overall aesthetic balances athleticism with sophistication and refinement. Initially released in platinum with a distinguished gray dial, such as the present lot, the reference later expanded to include variants in white gold, pink gold, and stainless steel. We are pleased to offer this lot accompanied by its full suite of accessories.
