Built around an annual calendar, Patek Philippe Complications 5960P-016 Annual Calendar Chronograph Platinum Black Dial combines a platinum case, a black dial, and an automatic movement.
The black lacquered dial displays applied white gold baton hour markers, white gold baton hands with luminous fill, central chronograph seconds hand with white tip, day and month displays in twin apertures at 12 o'clock showing abbreviated indications, date display at 6 o'clock, 60-minute chronograph counter integrated into date subdial, day/night indicator integrated into calendar display, minute track with printed divisions around outer edge creating refined contrast against black background.
The case executed in platinum is configured with polished round bezel, brushed case band, straight lugs with polished surfaces, sapphire crystal, two chronograph pushers at 2 and 4 o'clock positions for start/stop and reset functions, recessed correctors in case band for independent adjustment of day, date, and month, and transparent sapphire caseback revealing the extensively decorated movement.
This reference builds upon Patek Philippe's pioneering development of the annual calendar complication patented in 1996 that automatically accounts for months of varying lengths requiring manual correction only once per year on March 1st, adding the utility of a chronograph for elapsed time intervals through central chronograph hand and 60-minute counter, creating a versatile timepiece serving both calendar management and timing functions. Inside beats the self-winding Caliber CH 28-520 QA 24H featuring column-wheel chronograph mechanism with vertical clutch ensuring smooth chronograph hand start, annual calendar complication with instantaneous jump for all calendar indications at midnight, 24-hour display, central rotor in 21-karat gold, 40 jewels, Gyromax balance wheel, Spiromax balance spring in Silinvar silicon, frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, Patek Philippe Seal certification guaranteeing exceptional finishing and precision standards of minus three to plus two seconds per day, approximately 45 to a 55-hour power reserve.
Hand-stitched black alligator leather strap with large square scales secures with platinum fold-over clasp. A stylus is included with the watch.
This example is offered in pre-owned (very good) condition with its original box and original papers.
