Patek Philippe Chronograph Annual Calendar 5960/1A Watch In Steel
For top-tier brands like Patek Philippe,?exotic materials such as gold, in all its hues, and platinum are almost exclusively used when it comes to their more complicated models, while steel is primarily reserved for the sportier and/or simpler pieces, like the Nautilus and the Aquanaut. The irony this creates is that once steel�Cthis most ordinary material�Cis coupled with a flagship reference, it immediately gains a status of desirability, due to it being systematically ignored in the past.

The only thing I'm not especially crazy about is the bracelet, however it seems more comfortable than those on the 5711/5712/5980 etc. I've been fortunate enough to have owned some beautiful PPs, and currently have a 5970G as well as a 5164A which is a daily wearer for me.
