Reference 5960 was a turning point in Patek Philippe's contemporary history as the company's first self-winding wristwatch to combine a chronograph and an annual calendar. When it first appeared, it attracted the interest of both collectors and connoisseurs, and it quickly rose to prominence as one of the most renowned and identifiable models in the brand's current lineup.
The reference 5960 is powered by the in-house caliber CH 28-520 IRM QA 24H, which is made up of 456 parts. Its perfectly balanced dial shows an impressive array of complications, including day, date, and month apertures, a power reserve indicator, and a 12-hour chronograph register with a day/night indicator.

Reference 5960 was first made available in platinum in 2006 and then in pink gold in 2009, which was also the year that the Patek Philippe 'PP' Seal was introduced. The model's appeal to a younger and sportier clientele was further increased in 2014 when it was reinterpreted in stainless steel with a silvered opaline dial. The 2018 discontinuation of the stainless steel version increased its collectability and appeal among contemporary Patek Philippe collectors.
