|百達翡麗，5961P型號，罕有鉑金鑲鑽石年曆計時自動腕錶， 2014年。附錶盒、證書、調教筆及說明書。The Reference 5961P was released in 2011, based on the Reference 5960P that originally launched in 2006 with an anthracite dial. The Ref. 5961P incorporates a baguette diamond-set bezel and hour markers complementing beautifully its matte blue dial. In total, the 36 internally flawless white diamonds on the bezel weigh approximately 3.48 carats and the wristwatch is further adorned with 1.20 carats of diamonds on the hour markers and folding clasp enhancing the sophistication of this complicated wristwatch. Like the Ref. 5960P, at the heart of the Ref. 5961P beats Patek Philippe's in-house automatic Calibre CH 28-520 which represents the first self-winding chronograph wristwatch to be combined with an annual calendar complication. Also interesting to note, previously all of Patek Philippe's chronographs were manual-winding. The present example, sculpted in platinum, also shows gentle nods to the iconic Reference 3970, with its round chronograph pushers.
