The success of Patek Philippe is their ability to cater to the needs and taste of all their collectors. One of the manufacture’s longstanding complicated classics, the Reference 5960, combining a self-winding chronograph with annual calendar developed and manufactured in-house was first introduced in platinum in 2006, then in pink gold and in 2014, Patek Philippe astonished collectors with the Reference 5960/1A, a stainless steel sporty version with bracelet.
This same reference 5960 was also the inspiration behind the reference 5961, a bejeweled iteration fitted with a baguette-cut diamond-set bezel that was introduced in 2011. The present lot Reference 5961P/011 is the much rarer sapphire variation, adorned with 58 baguette sapphires with a total weight of 5.3 carats. In addition to the bezel, the black dial hour markers and the deployant buckle are also set with baguette-cut sapphires. Merging high technology with haute joiallerie, the 5961P/011 continues to titillate Patek Philippe’s collectors with its unique blend of elegance and watchmaking excellence.
