Thanks, Gordon, for the great

photographs! While I personally still don’t like the Cubitus, I think the new release is so far its most attractive version by far. As to your factual statement regarding “average age of Patek collectors”, I wonder whether what/whose data this is based on

I don't know my Patek models as well as I should, but here goes . . .

For actual daily wear: 1. Calatrava time/date with salmon dial. Lovely, simple, understatedly elegant. 2. Cubitus perpetual calendar. That case looks like it was made for a PC display and I like the louvered dial. For sheer admiration: 1. Fox and Crow. Si

Hi All, After seeing 2026 novelties in the metal, my take on the general direction of Patek is that

innovations continue while balanced with more colorful dials and straps to bring in younger collectors. The average age of Patek collectors is around mid to late 40s. As Cubitus was created with a younger crowd in mind, I see this strategy continuing step

Watches & Wonders part 3: Patek Philippe Cubitus Perpetual Calendar ref. 5840P

Initial thoughts from the press pictures weren’t encouraging, but when seeing it for real and putting it on the wrist, it’s absolutely amazing. The Cubitus finally clicked for me in this perpetual calendar execution. The 45mm platinum case sounds imposing

Dear Patekova

I understand your feelings, but this decision to unveil the 50th Anniversary Nautilus models alongside the other new Watches & Wonders 2026 releases seems consistent with the stated intention, for several years now, to ensure that the Nautilus remains jus

I was quite surprised when Patek included these 50th Anniversary Nautilus watches as part of its 2026 W&W presentation. I think this was a mistake and a lost opportunity.

IMO these historically important watches have received a somewhat diminished response compared to the the reception they would have received as an exclusive release at a different time of year. Partly responsible for this reaction I believe is the creativ

Thank you WOS at the Wynn for showing me these beautiful patek models.

I didn’t expect the green on the 5270P to leave such an impression on me. It may be one of the most beautiful dials I’ve ever seen. The cubitus fit better than I expected. Def growing on me. The great 5164... Love the RG and brown. I’ve loved the 5070 for

Interesting comparison because both are new

designs necessary for widening the brands from wildly successful predecessors. IMO both the Code and Cubitus require time for the collectors to grow into them. Hence, at this point, I would purchase the one that sings more to more. Actually I do have a Co

I'd buy a PF Tonda or Moser Streamliner chrono and a couple of other pieces with the same outlay

And wouldn't feel a shred of jealousy. For me, the Cubitus will never appeal and I love square / rectangular case shapes... It feels like the more they push it the less appealing it becomes, regarding the Code, if they changed the hands to match the techn
