Furthermore delivered with Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 2008 and its subsequent sale on February 22nd, 2008. Catalogue Essay Launched in 2006, reference 5960 was somewhat of a shock for the Patek Philippe community: the boldness of its 40.5mm case combined with an equally aggressively designed dial featuring concentric chronographic minutes and hour at 6 on a white counter with red and blue graphics - which will go on to become known as the "Bull's Eye" - took the entire market by surprise. However, as it often happens with bold Patek Philippe pieces, fast-forward a few years and the watch is now recognized as one of the most charismatic, attractive and collectible modern Patek Philippe creations. Its success prompted the realization of a number of different configurations, including additional case materials (pink gold, steel), bracelet versions, and various dial iterations. Arguably, however, the original configuration in platinum with antracite dial - represented by this example - is the one that most remained impressed in the minds of collectors. As it turns out, the production of this watch - as all Patek Philippe pieces produced straddling the year 2010 - can be broken into two main groups: those bearing the Seal (2006 -2010) and those bearing the Patek Philippe seal (2010 onward). Indeed, in 2010 Patek introduced its own quality seal, with even higher requirements than the historical Geneva seal. However, more than one collector prefers Geneva Seal pieces - if both options are available - as they are usually more rare and because of the historical ties of the Geneva seal, which has been seen on Patek Philippe watches since the first half of the past century. The present piece is in fact one of the highly collectible Geneva seal 5960, furthermore offered absolutely complete of every single accessory present when it left the factory - down to its numbered plastic sleeve and sale tag - and offered in virtually new-old-stock condition. An unmissable opportunity for the collector of modern classics.
