New Patek Alert! The Cubitus Collection

[Cheesegrater]

These are going to fly off the shelf for all the reasons above. But mainly because it's a spin on an iconic watch from the preeminent horological house that is instantly recognizable yet also brand new. People are lined up to be seen with the new square nautilus.

The people that buy these would be the same low class that buy LV, Gucci and other luxury brand to show off their "I got the newest hot stuff" to their friends.

that steel green for 42K , say 46k after tax is an absolute slap in the face to the real watch collectors.
It's fucking horrid

It dropped:
New 240 complication for the "baby" 5712 which is now the 5822P. New 240 cal: 240 PS CI J LU

5821 is two tone steel/rg with blue dial and 5821 is steel with green dial. both use the 26-330 SC

Let’s all be honest here. We all think this is perfectly acceptable for a $500 to $700 rep watch.

Atleast they didn’t release a grand complication line.

Will like it better if it's a closed caseback. PP's so-called clone movement is always a pain in the s...

Initial thoughts…..

After a couple of days…..

 

[mrsullivan]

Well, I actually like it...

Edit : the green plain dial yes
The two others ? Well, RG is not my thing on two tones, and the big date/moonphase type of layout looks better on the 5712 IMO.

Come on guys... It's a bad copy of the Santos!

 

[Charalampos21]

I don't like it at all but I am 100% sure that years in the future it will be the most popular model.

 

[Reaps]

I read this is 45mm. Is that true? If so that's a massive watch. 45mm with a square case shape wears like a 48-50mm.

Some interesting little details we may have missed on first glance, not that it "changes" my feelings towards the design. The article reads heavily like the classic Hodinkee apologist "non controversial" review takes, aka, don't talk bad about anything.

We have a new type of display for Patek – an instantaneous grand date. This new caliber – 240 PS CI J LU – has no less than six patents to its name, revolving primarily around energy management for the grand date, which is something of an underappreciated technical feat in the world of watchmaking, for all brands – Swiss or otherwise.


What these patents allow for is a jumping seconds that happens in a flash – 18 milliseconds to be specific – or, by most definitions, instantaneously. Considerable work was spent to ensure that the two numerals, which are indeed two different discs but on the same plane, align perfectly within the dial's white-gold apertures. The six patents, for those interested, are a tangential brake, a dual-functioning spring, a dual-functioning spring mechanism, a flexible plate, a flexible connector, and a new kind of positioning system. A lot of the new movement was first considered in the far more complex perpetual calendar mechanism found in the in-line perpetual calendar reference 5236. This is a simple calendar, but still very complex – 353 components – and it requires five adjustments per year.

Another thing to note is the small baguette set into the case :

That is actually in every Patek made in platinum

Cool! I learnt something today, thanks for the knowledge. I knew the platinum 5470P monopusher had it but I didn't make the connection until you pointed it out.

 

[vladoarsov]

Not my cup of tea, would not buy this unless it gets me a faster access to a certain waitlit

It is a nice detail!

Now let's see if any factory finally reps the 330 SC movement!

 

[flashu]

The date is wrong ..not centred...guess it is a RL
Ill pass this one

This is the first 'NEW ' collection of PP in the last 25 years...i think it would be somethigng more...refined.

It is too 'in your face', and too 'gypsy'.

Anyway, it will sell A LOT, and 100 % Factories will be relesing Reps of this...maybe even for Xmas ?

I'm just disappointed they did something somehow that is both "safe" and "gaudy" at the same time. I kinda wish they would have fully committed to something safe, or something so out of their ball park. It would have been more fun if Patek did something crazy out of their ball park like a dive watch (they never will, I know). Instead we got a half baked Nautilus square with a repeat of the Nautilus style dial.

Something like a repeat of :

Would have been super cool as well.
