Patek Philippe 40mm Cubitus Models New Release

Key Points from the Discussion

• There's a discrepancy between Patek Philippe's official stated thickness of 8.3mm for the Cubitus models and actual measurements by reviewers like Tim Mosso, who found it to be 8.6mm.
• Some collectors find the Cubitus design unappealing, with one user stating the 45mm version was a 'disaster' on a 17.5 cm wrist, and the new 40mm, while fitting better, still 'not nice'.
• The Cubitus design is perceived by some as a 'lazy' attempt to capitalize on the Nautilus's success by simply making it square, lacking the elegance and desirability of its predecessor.
• The 'slab-sided' nature of the Cubitus might make it appear thicker than its stated dimensions, raising questions about how many reviewers actually measure the watches they handle.
• The white gold Cubitus with the sunburst blue-gray dial is generally preferred over the rose gold variant, with some suggesting the 40mm size might be more suitable for ladies.
• The original author emphasizes the importance of seeing the watches in person before forming a definitive judgment, acknowledging that photos can be deceiving.
