Battle of steel

[jonathan17]

Which do you guys prefer as the best annual calendar complication in steel to get? 5726 vs 5960? I think the price is close though the 5960 is a little bit more because of the bulls eye chrono.

Any thoughts?

5960 1A for me although as an owner of 5960P black don't see one in my future.

[Fiery]

While the 5960/1A is a stunning time piece, it's a little bit too shiny for my taste. It has an amazing mass of polished surfaces, much like certain Breitlings for example :) If it's your kind of thing, then go for it. Otherwise, the less elegant, more sporty, less shiny design of the 5726 is the winner.

Pass on both

I don't like the all polished bracelet on the new 5960.
Hold out for the 5990!

Id vote the 5726! Love that piece, very readable and classic lines.

5726 Great piece

5960. Chrono is more useful to me than an annual calendar. Maybe consider the 5980 as well?

[jonathan17]

Actually i like the 5980 white dial steel because the gold is just out of my budget. but my ad tells me its been discontinued. Too bad just when i was ready to buy now need to reconsider my options.

[SearChart]

5726, that steel 5960 should have a leather strap.

5960.
Last time I needed to know the phase of the moon was...well, never.

Buy it used... Let someone else take the first hit....

I prefer the 5726 in this case

[JorgeCCW]

Nautilus for me

[Preacher]

The ss chrono is a piece of work! I'd love it as my daily wearer. It's like a PP Daytona! :)

[elcompa]

Between the two? Far and away the 5726! Love the annual cal. Gorgeous!

[GB-man]

5726 for me. Love the white dial

[Toony]

5726 is the choice. Love the dial.

[iazrollie]

Love the dial on the 5960a, but bracelet has to go.image.jpg

This. I also can't remember the last time I've used a chrono function either for that matter. :/

Just my opinion as a novice to high end watches like PP.

I like everything about the 5960. The size, color, the shiny stainless bracelet, the dial, and the complications presented on the dial.

I appreciated that it does not look so many other Patek watches on leather. Also, I have never really got my head around the case shape of the 57xx series watches on metal bracelets.

So yes, one day when I am ready to spend 50k on a watch, I may add this one to my collection....

Exactly my thoughts, having seen a dummy model of the 5960 in steel, I was even more convinced that it should be on a strap.

5726

[Jackflash]

Nautilus for sure

[Megalos]

5726 from me to ..classic design

[jonathan17]

Had a chance to try these at my local ad and both feel and looks great on my wrist this decision just got a whole lot harder. But im still set on an AC complication but these ladies are gorgeous.

Now i cant wait to try the 5726 and 5960 and see how those feel on the wrist.
