The reference was first launched in platinum with grey dial and later released variants in pink gold and with other dials. The original version, such as the present watch, remains popular as it marks a historic moment in Patek Philippe’s history. Reference 5960 in stainless steel was introduced in 2014 and the company ceased production in all precious metal, making the present platinum watch a very rare example and the most collectible in the 5960 series.
