5960/1a white

I’ve owned the steel ac for awhile now and apart from really liking the white dial combo, I partly got it knowing it was or would be discontinued. Would you guys have any idea if it would or could appreciate long term?
Thanks guys!

5960/1a white

I just got mine and love it , is the best Patek “For Me” . When it came out I didn’t care for it. And saw how bad did in the market , maybe like 8-10 months a go you could pick one for 34-35k . Not anymore though, something happened in the market like one day a lot of people wake up decided that they want it one. Now if you want one the range is between 38-41k. I think it’s gonna pick up a little more or maybe a lot , really who can predict that ? You know . But I tell you this , right now Patek watches with Strap are in general in a hard spot. The market is on Nautilus, Nautilus, and Aquanaut (noticed that I mentioned Nautilus twice ). Everyone wants sport watches. It’s the “Steel era “, Lol. So 5960/1a falls in a nice spot , cool, sporty, complicated watch and is made in Stainless Steel. It’s looks positive to me
Anyway , Those are my thoughts







Note : the black dial is gonna do better because Patek discontinued like 8 or 10 months after its release, short run. But personally I prefer the look of the white dial and I can read the damn thing Lol . Thanks

I definitely agree.
This was like the ugly duckling first it came out I recall seeing 35k used. At first the beads of rice bracelet bothered be but when I got it mid this year it just grew on me.
Perfect size, useful complication and white dial.
Thank you my friend!
