Several details about Patek Philippe Cubitus worth noting

On October 17, Patek Philippe released the new Cubitus series, with three watches in total. Although the spy photos of the new work have been leaked on social media before, the official announcement still surprised players. As a new series launched by Patek Philippe after many years, the sports-style Cubitus is easily compared with the classic series “Nautilus” NAUTILUS. The following are several details of the Cubitus series worth noting.

Patek Philippe’s sports watches all have a long history. Taking the popular series NAUTILUS as an example, the first generation of products originated in 1976 and was designed by Gérald Genta. Another sports-style watch, the AQUANAUT series, debuted in 1997, with a more rounded case. Today, NAUTILUS has become synonymous with luxury sports watches, and AQUANAUT has also found its exclusive position with its unique case shape.

Cubitus, which was unveiled this time, is a new product series opened by Patek Philippe after a lapse of 25 years. It has been 25 years (1999) since the last time the brand added the Twenty-4 series. Although some elements of Cubitus also pay tribute to NAUTILUS. But its angular case shape has formed its own recognition among the “smooth” sports watches. There are different opinions on this shape, and there are many controversies. But in the final analysis, whether a new work can be called “successful” still needs to be tested by the market.

Speaking of this, it leads to the biggest feature of Cubitus, which is also the source of controversy: the octagonal case. From the parameters, the size of the three watches is 45 mm, which is much larger than NAUTILUS (41 mm) and AQUANAUT (32 to 42 mm). Many players may have concerns about whether this size will affect the wearing experience. After all, the famous watch market in 2024 no longer blindly advocates big beauty. On the contrary, exquisite and delicate small-sized men’s luxury replica Watches have returned to the popular stage in recent years.

In fact, the 45 mm diameter marked in the parameters is the diagonal length of the case (that is, from 10 o’clock to 4 o’clock). Considering that this is an octagonal case that is close to a square, the width of the upper and lower borders will be less than this value. Judging from the hands-on pictures taken by foreign media, the visual size of Cubitus is not too far away from NAUTILUS, which is in line with expectations.

The first series consists of three watches, namely the Ref.5821/1A-001 with a large three-hand model and a steel case olive green face; the Ref.5821/1AR-001 with a gold and dark blue face; and the Ref.5822P-001 with complex functions, a platinum case and a leather strap. It is worth noting that the platinum model is inlaid with a 0.02 carat diamond at 6 o’clock on the case. Since the diamond is small and not in a prominent position, it needs to be carefully observed to be distinguished.

Another detail worth noting is the waterproof performance. As we all know, waterproof has become an indispensable and important performance of modern famous high quality replica watches, especially sports watches. Among the “troika” of luxury sports watches, Patek Philippe’s main competitor, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, has a waterproof rating of 50 meters (including 300 meters for the Offshore model), and the Vacheron Constantin Overseas has also reached 150 meters. The new Cubitus maintains 30 meters of waterproofness like NAUTILUS and AQUANAUT.
