Ever seen this one before ? A special custom order 5960 with a new reference number 5960/1A-011 for the owner of Leicester City. A one of one ?

Maltie · 10 August 2016, 04:50 AM

With the mascot of the football team

Hairdude1 · 10 August 2016, 05:16 AM

Cool

incontrol · 10 August 2016, 06:08 AM

Looks very different without the red. Very interesting!

codecow · 10 August 2016, 06:10 AM

That's awesome but kind of surprising they'd do a piece like that.

Watcheroo · 10 August 2016, 06:36 AM

Wow - completely different without the red accents. I like it.

If the guy is a VIP at PP no it's not really, you know they do commission work, so not surprised

Like the diff colors...still needs a leather strap though

+1. Don't like the bracelet on that one

soundserious · 10 August 2016, 10:50 AM

Bracelet is an atrocity. Rubber strap! Make this the next Aquanaut.

Tay821 · 10 August 2016, 11:43 AM

If this model didn't have a bracelet I think most people would have a completely different sentiment bc I think the watch/movement is actually stunning and useful...but then again this is what makes a market

goog53 · 10 August 2016, 11:58 AM

I would be interested in seeing the date wheel when it is the first of the month if 1 is Blue to match the hands like the 5960/1a is red. I know PP has done special dials for customers and such but a custom colored date wheel seems like a bit of a stretch but as the saying goes...Money Talks

GB-man · 10 August 2016, 12:26 PM

I liked it better before

mps354 · 10 August 2016, 01:26 PM

Definitely changes the look...not sure it's for the better

Maltie · 10 August 2016, 06:58 PM

Patek did not change the date wheel on this unique reference.

Now to me that just looks odd. I have limited soccer knowledge but believe Leicester City has no red in their team colors so I wonder if the owner could've opted for one of the older date wheels in the platinum versions.

The owner is a Thai billionaire. That would make him a VIP just about anywhere. ;)

I know they did in the past. You probably have to be an insane level customer for them to modify or create a piece for you. In contrast a brand like Vacheron advertises that they will do commission pieces.

I didn't realise this was coming up for sale on the secondary market:

I think this watch was modified and not by PP. The hands look painted and not factory painted and the rear sapphire appears to be laser etched which is something I have never seen on any PP.

Did they buy a laser just for this customer?

lapince · 11 August 2016, 10:01 PM

If it's on sale I would be surprised that the owner of Leicester bought it, more likely a fan, if you own a football club and ask PP to customize a watch for you I don't think you would need to sell it soon after, but what do I know...

That's what I'm saying, it doesn't look like they'd do it.

Maltie · 11 August 2016, 10:55 PM

I had a call with the PP Salon Geneva and they confirmed the model and they confirmed the modifications. All done by PP.

That's the truth!

codecow · 12 August 2016, 03:06 AM

If it was a real 1-1 piece from Patek you'd think it would sell for over MSRP not under.

I did not get confirmation of it being a 1-1, the PP salon mentionned more then 1, but did not want to disclose exactly how many.
