I happened to be in Las Vegas in October 2024 ….

… when the boutique received the courier package with the first two. They wear way smaller than the 45mm would suggest. Here they are on my 17.2 cm wrist. Interestingly it was the 5822P that appealed to me the most. But I’d have to say I wouldn’t take eit

True. 0.2mm difference.

The 240 is technically thinner than the 260 caliber. The 260 caliber also has a smaller balance wheel - I like bigger balance wheels with the 21.6K VPH slower beat. But the trend has been going towards smaller balance wheels with the faster 28.8K VPH beat

New 5822P & First Impressions

This weekend I was able to pick-up a 5822P. I’ve only owned the watch for about a day, so I am sure my thoughts will evolve, but I wanted to give my first impressions.
 I bought the Cubitus with the expectation that it will have the vibe of a Patek sports

Holiday times for WR check!

Just returned from Thailand for a vacation. Visited Bangkok PP AD and they kindly confirmed the WR was intact, so off to the pool. Did also try some other temptations-just looking….! HAGWE David

Great write up, thanks

I like the 5821/1A - 001 and 5821/1AR - 001. I decided to ask for a 5821/1A-001 as I own a 5980/1AR-001 I think they could have done better by incorporating Grand date to all models and not only to the 5822P

Thanks for the post. I tried all three models on yesterday. I have a large wrist. Not for me, they’re bigger than the photos suggest. Not elegant, big flat bezel, and the 5822P’s dial design is awkward and revealing of not having a movement designed for i

Thank you for the excellent review, Gordon.

I have seen and tried 5821/1A green dial in metal. To me, the name "Cubitus" has already explained the new collection line, which is a cube shaped Nautilus. I do like square or rectangular watch, especially a thin one. The size of Cubitus is indeed a bit

Having spent some wrist time with each of the 3 Cubitus models this is how I feel about Cubitus generally and each model specifically:

I very much appreciate that Thierry and Patek ventured to add a new line and to be daring and unpredictable. While historically rectangles, squares and other shaped watches were once extremely popular those days are long gone. Personally, I love vintage r

Hi 👋 All, thanks for all your comments (positive, negative and anywhere in between) on Cubitus which

spurred me, with support from knowledgeable Patek collectors, to perform research on how I think the Cubitus came about and its implications This post is intended for sharing with members some historical perspectives of the developments of the Aquanaut an

From the Cubitus line I only like the 5822P

the color is very rich and deep. However, the watch feels much too big for my 18cm wrist and the direct comparison shot to the Nautilus tells me that I prefer the more organic shape of the Nautilus design. This might change with a smaller case - for the m
