An Unexpected Revival: 5905P Takes the Stage
Just when we thought the stainless-steel 5960A marked the conclusion of the 5960 series, Patek Philippe shocked us at the 2015 Baselworld with the launch of the 5905P. A question now arises: Which one captures your heart—5960P or 5905P?

A Year of Innovation at Patek Philippe
🎉 Following the stunning 175th-anniversary celebration in 2014, Patek Philippe once again dazzled the horological world in 2015:

🛫 5524G Pilot Travel Time: Sparked intense debates among enthusiasts.
🏆 5370P Split-Seconds Chronograph: Hailed as the “masterpiece of the century.”
🌏 5131R Enamel World Time: Showcased a fresh Asia-Pacific map.
Amid this flurry of excitement, Patek Philippe refreshed their iconic Annual Calendar Chronograph series with the 5905P.

A Glance Back: The 5960 Series
The 5960 Annual Calendar Chronograph is widely celebrated as one of Patek Philippe’s most iconic modern timepieces. From the elegant platinum grey-dial 5960P, to the luxurious rose gold 5960R, and the sporty black-dial 5960P, each version left its mark.

📈 The stainless steel 5960A released last year breathed new life into the series, combining youthful design and a more affordable price tag to great acclaim.

The 5905P: A New Era Begins
The 5905P draws inspiration from both the 5960 and 5205:

Dial and Hands: Borrowed from the 5205, with similar colors, markers, and dauphine-style hands.
Chronograph Functionality: Retained from the 5960, maintaining its precision mechanics.
Annual Calendar Display: Shared by both models, with three apertures for clear readability.
✨ The 5905P can be described as a 5205P equipped with the 5960’s movement and a 60-minute chronograph.

Technical Details of the 5905P
Movement: CH 28-520 QA 24H, automatic winding, 4Hz frequency, and 55-hour power reserve.
Notable Changes:
Incorporates a silicon balance spring.
Removes the 12-hour counter, simplifying the chronograph to a 60-minute function.
While some may miss the 12-hour counter, this streamlining lowers the price, offering exceptional value for collectors.

Design Evolution
Case Size: Enlarged to 42mm, with angular pushers to suit the larger profile.
Material: Available exclusively in platinum, featuring Patek Philippe’s signature diamond marker at 6 o’clock.
Dial Options: Black or blue, to suit varying tastes.
💰 At 570,600 RMB, the 5905P is priced significantly lower than the 5960P, which retailed for 720,000 RMB in China.

The Ultimate Dilemma: 5960P vs. 5905P
Collectors often face tough choices, and this one is no different:

5960P: Smaller diameter, classic round pushers, and a timeless aesthetic.
5905P: Larger case, simplified chronograph, and a bold modern design.
⏳ If you’re leaning toward the 5960P, act fast—it’s officially discontinued!
