 In 2014, Patek Philippe announced that the 5960 Annual Calendar Chronograph would be available again in steel, in a move that makes sense for a brand that wants to attract a younger clientele in an already selective shopper market. Not particularly for the price issues, but precious metals make it virtually impossible for a Rolex replica watch to feel "sporty" in any way, let alone a watch as complicated as the 5960. In 2017, they released this, the replica watches Patek Philippe 5960 / 1A Annual Calendar chronograph watch with black dial. The result is the natural progression of what the brand intended with their desire to conquer a younger market, and in my opinion it's an aesthetic and refined improvement.

The original 5960, released in 2006, was Patek's first in-house chronograph, so it's no surprise that the brand would like to make sure they get these steel iterations in the very sense that it satisfies collectors, enthusiasts, and of course. the aspirational watch fans. The opaline / silver dial with black and red accents was a hit, but I don't think I'm alone in favoring the new black dial. Sporty, modern and with undoubtedly impressive movement, Patek has successfully created a piece worthy of lust for those of us who respect tradition without being weighed down by the weight of dusty and immutable style.

The 40.5mm wide and 13.5mm thick polished stainless steel case houses the dark ebony opal black dial which is fortunately legible and attractive. The applied hours in white gold, the red seconds and chronograph hands, and the white aspects of the monoconteter at 6 o'clock keep the dial above expectations considering what's happening with the Patek Philippe 5960 / 1A.

Things are flipped through from the silver compound model, with date / day / month openings, hour markers, and monopusher outer ring that contrasts with the black dial and looks much more harmonious. Personally, I felt that the black framing of the date / day / month replica watches uk openings on the previous model looked too harsh. I think the best way I can tell is that they almost looked like black eyes on the dial, although it might look a little harder than I mean. These openings look more like a pair of glasses that look like a natural fit and attractively frame your face. The power reserve indicator on the right at 12 bothers me and looks awkward, although the functional purpose of the complication is hard to deny. And, of course, the mono-count's white outer ring indicates the chronograph hours, with the inner rings indicating the chronograph minutes.
