It's unprecedented for Patek to pre-release details of Baselworld launches. Seems as if these are official pre-releases given that they are also on Hodinkee etc.

IF they did that with a really cool black textile strap with red stitching they would have a hot seller. Why they produce that heinous bracelet I'll never know. Feels incredibly cheap on the wrist.

You have probably never seen or touched the 5960/1A in person. Its bracelet is really a work of art with details that one can appreciate only in flesh. Not to everyone's taste but the quality is definitely there.

Well i think the dial is more akin to the face so it would be like switching the face

Totally agree - the strap from the unique 5004T would be perfect!

new black dial PP 5960 Would look good on black strap, or on brushed bracelet, really not a fan of how it looks like on bracelet

Looking forward to a 5960 with strap.

The lugs meant for the bracelet seems longer than what are needed to hold the straps.

Having handled it a few times I disagree. Also I would guess sechsgang has handled it as well seeing as nearly every PP AD has one in the case.

Edit: I should rephrase. I'm not really disagreeing with you in that it's quality. I just don't like the polish. So my comment is rather irrelevant.

That actually really nice. Much better than the bracelet and I usually always prefer bracelets.

I like the watch very much in white or black and appreciate that it comes in SS,
just not In the market for calendar complications

Funny, might be -2mm in size,sans AC ,a strap and a 35k price tag would make this piece hot .

It's not that it isn't well made, it's just that it reminds me of a Breitling or IWC bracelet and I don't want to think of them when I look at my Patek.

Yes. That's it

Much more concise.

It was in holding and trying it that I realized how cheap it felt honestly. AP, Rolex, VC, and even other Patek bracelets (mainly the nautilus line) are just way, way nicer IMHO.
