Miranda introduces the Patek Philippe Cubitus collection, a significant new release for 2024 that blends bold design with Patek Philippe's signature elegance. Her initial post provides an essential first look at the collection's distinctive square case, varied materials, and unique dial and movement finishes. This article synthesizes community reactions to help collectors understand the immediate reception and potential implications of this new direction for the esteemed manufacture.


In 2024, Patek Philippe introduces a brand-new collection, harmoniously blending boldness and elegance. From steel to rose gold, through platinum, the variety of materials presents an exclusive interpretation of the “casual chic” style. The distinctive shape of the square case, with an elegantly slender profile, is accentuated by the contrast between polished and vertical satin-brushed finishes. The dials feature a horizontal embossed pattern also picked up on the movements’ rotors and mini-rotors, as the signature of the models composing the new collection.

About the Patek Philippe Cubitus Ref. 5821

The Patek Philippe reference 5821, known as the Cubitus, represents a distinctive design within the brand's offerings, characterized by its unique case architecture. This model deviates from more traditional round or rectangular forms, presenting a profile that emphasizes sculptural qualities and a departure from conventional watchmaking aesthetics. It is a piece that appeals to collectors seeking Patek Philippe's less common and more architecturally focused creations, showcasing a different facet of the manufacture's design capabilities.

The case of the 5821 Cubitus is crafted from 18k white gold, featuring a substantial yet refined presence on the wrist. While specific dimensions contribute to its unique wearability, the overall construction is designed to highlight its distinctive shape. The watch is powered by a manual-winding mechanical movement, reflecting a commitment to traditional horological principles. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, ensuring clarity and durability.

This reference holds particular interest for collectors who appreciate Patek Philippe's ventures into unconventional case designs. It stands apart from the brand's more widely recognized collections, offering a piece that combines high-end watchmaking with a strong artistic statement. The Cubitus series, including the 5821, illustrates the breadth of Patek Philippe's design philosophy beyond its classic complications and sports models, appealing to those who value rarity and distinctive form.

Cartier designers should be honored as imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Just over for 40k EUR for the steel version, In 2003 one could get a 3710 for under 10k 🤨

Would have preferred a square movement though. Of the three, the stainless steel would be my pick. Design wise it’s essentially a square Nautilus, and I would have preferred something more original, but it’s nice nonetheless.
