Saw a YG PP perpetual calendar and moon phase complication, don't know the reference while getting a bite to eat in Mosman, Sydney yesterday.

I am sure it would cost over $100k in Aus. David's PP a bargain, I just need a lazy $70+k.

They are very striking watches.

Could be a 3940, 5140 or 5159 was it with sundials or apertures?

The 5960P is an awesome piece and one of my favourite Patek's.

The annual complication combined with a chronograph is an excellent daily wearer

I have the blue dial/strap 5960p. My favourite watch so far. PP changed the buckle from tang to the calatrava button I think in 2010 but a word of warning the buckle is very expensive to buy if you have the older tang model. My watch dealer likes the watch but told me not to buy it as he feels they have made too many. I bought it anyway as I liked the look of it but no doubt he was right and I will take a kicking when I trade it in.

What an amazing piece! I find the "only one subdial chronograph" very nice! Congratulations in advance to the lucky who will purchase it!

Sundial just above the 6 marker, with day and month window, side by side just below the 12 marker. From memory, there may have been one or two other complications possible power reserve? Looked very much like PP I see in QP that are auctioned for a gazillion SF's.

I love it as well. I saw one in person recently and I was suprised by the thickness 13.5mm if i remember right. I still love it but it may not be for everyone.
