Case and Dial Design

The Patek Philippe Reference 5960/01G-001 is housed in an 18K white gold case characterized by sculpted, contoured lugs and a polished bezel. The assembly includes functional pump-style pushers for the chronograph operation and a signed crown.

The dial is finished in a deep blue tone, incorporating applied luminous indices and a luminous baton handset. Complication readouts include apertures for the day, date, and month, alongside a power reserve indicator positioned at the 12 o'clock location.
