Expectations, the hype was too high.
I was expecting a whole new line and maybe a shaped movement. If they said it would be a Nautilus 2.0 or maybe nautilus2 (squared). Then the watch is totally fine. The only criticism would be maybe a little too big for some (including my wrist).

Reflections on the Cubitus collection and what may the future hold for the Nautilus and Aquanaut collections vis a vis the new collection
So now that the dust has settled, here are my thoughts on the future of the new collection as well as what may be the implications for both the Nautilus and Aquanaut collections. The Cubitus was revealed avant première by “accident” a few days earlier tha...
I completely agree with your analysis!
Same sentiment, not something I’m dying for, but not bad either, except the size, which is clearly visible in the adverts and on TS’s wrist. I can see a fantastic chronograph or a perpetual calendar being a hit granted they reduce the dimensions… All icon...
Miranda, that is an excellent, perceptive and open minded commentary on Cubitus. I actually have come to appreciate and like it
the more I have read about it and the more images I have seen. While hardly a game changer and definitely something not entirely new it is an interesting and appealing derivatine of the Nautilus. Historically, square and rectangular Pateks were extremely ...
Change is good.
I applaud PP for doing something new and I like the line. The reactions across the watch world have had a frantic finality to them and I just dont understand why? Maybe Patek stops making the Nautilus for a decade? They can always bring it back? Everyone ...

If this was released at palexpo with the other 2024 models I think they'd have been well received.
I was also expecting a shaped movement, quick change straps/bracelet, and one of their silicon projects to show up.
Thank you for your measured views.
Ive personally not cared for either the Nautilus or Aquanaut. Have owned and sold a full gold bracelet Nautilus before the hype and the only regret is that I could’ve sold it at a higher(insane) price point. But hey, that is my view on the Nautilus and Aq...
You mean the Cartier Santo-bitus??
I am surprised at all of this. T. Stern has a tantrum and decides he doesn't want to be a "one-watch" brand, so he ends his bread and butter Nautilus and Aquanaut models. This did not do anything, except to discourage Patek customers and future customers....
Thank you for the balanced analysis. I have to say, I was disappointed by the new collection. Not that I dislike it, I actually think people will get used to the design and it will be appreciated undoubtedly.
It is more the fact that a new Model Range was expected not a merely square Nautilus... The Nautilus' design was harmonious and balanced, why try to gimmick it with a square shape ? AP when launching the Code range have gone out of the Royal Oak, what wou...
Thank you for your level-headed post and comments made with decorum coupled with your deep experience in Nautilus and the brand !
While I am warming up to the square shape which I had not expected, I also want to see them in the metal ASAP before passing judgement. Previously in another reply, I wrote that when I tried on the AP Code 11:59, I noticed the octagon middle section under...
Alright wrote this elsewhere...
The watch is fine, I assume Patek Philippe looked at Cartier and realized they’re printing money off the Santos so they also wanted a men’s square watch. Fine. Mission accomplished. But then release it within a visual context, not just a bunch of frontal ...
