5960R White

Visited Tiffany&Co and saw the white dialed 5960R. They had the black dial too. Both are very nice! Also, I'm considering changing the black croc strap on my 5726A w/a brown croc strap. May be a interesting look... Took some quick pics, see below.

I would keep the the bracelet as is or go for a midnight blue strap to mix it up. This may be a dumb question but do all Pateks purchased at T & Co. in NYC have Tiffany emblazoned on the dial?

Very nice--but prefer the black dial on the R myself! As for the strap--brown would be a cool change up. Cheers,

Very nice
I'd find one without Tiffany on the dial though

I prefer darker dials from PP watches. The only white dial watch I like are SS watches from Rolex!

Well I must admit I prefer the grey dial but now that I've seen pictures of an actual white dial 5960 I must say it doesn't look as bad as I thought. Thank you for sharing!

As for the band swap, if you want to have a brown one for occasions where you don't wear only black clothes I think it could be a good change. I prefer the black one myself but who knows how it will actually look once you do it!

I like the white one. Generally I don't like this particular model because of the intense contrasts between colors on the dial, but this one I would buy for myself...

I like the white one, but given the choice, I'd get the black dial.

That black dial looks great!!!!

The white would look good on a brown strap I bet.

I am not a fan of the 5960s in general because of the clashy color combinations on many of the dials. However, I really like the white one and black one (the white one especially); they look great, and no strange color combinations!
