Krinck's initial post on the Patek Philippe Cubitus models, sourced from a Reddit thread, offers an early look at what could be Patek Philippe's next significant release. This article synthesizes community reactions to the proposed 5821/1AR, 5821/1A-001, and 5822P references, exploring the immediate impact and long-term implications for the brand's design direction and market position. Krinck's personal preference for the 5712 sets a comparative benchmark for the discussion.

From a thread on Reddit, these are supposed to be the new watches: 

“Three Cubitus models as of now:

  1. 5821/1AR: A blue dial with two-tone rose gold and stainless steel, on a bracelet (this watch)

  2. 5821/1A-001, stainless steel with the same shade of green Dial seen on the 5711, on a bracelet.

  3. 5822P: In platinum, also blue dial, with big date, day and moon phase on a leather strap.”

The 5821/1A is nice in my opinion. Not very fond of two tone, and the 5822 looks a bit large for me. Still prefer my 5712 though.

About the Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5711

The Patek Philippe reference 5711/1A-011, part of the Complications collection, is distinguished by its white dial, offering a different aesthetic compared to other dial variations within the 5711 series. This particular configuration provides a clean and legible presentation, appealing to collectors who prefer a more understated yet refined look. It represents a specific iteration of a well-known Patek Philippe model, recognized for its integrated design.

The watch features a 40mm stainless steel case, housing the self-winding Caliber 26-330 SC movement. This movement provides a power reserve of 45 hours. The case is fitted with a sapphire crystal, contributing to its water resistance of 120 meters. The fixed bezel and integrated bracelet are characteristic elements of its construction.

This reference appeals to collectors interested in the evolution of Patek Philippe's offerings, particularly those seeking specific dial colors within established model lines. Its production run from 2019 to 2021 marks it as a relatively recent, yet now discontinued, variant. The watch's specifications align with Patek Philippe's standards for mechanical timepieces.

What is the augmentation of BORING? Is a watchmaker like PP, with an outstanding renomee not capable of something more innovative? I wait for the „CIRCULARIS“ 🤦🏻‍♂️ Additionally, the „ears“ do not work with this case. 🙈 I will wear my Ebel 1911 Carré even with more pride… 😅

1) it is extremely thin 2) it is pointing exactly to 7 seconds

But first Nautilus is better, by far. And second, that's more laziness I can withstand.

...you cannot just take an already iconic watch design and change the case shape and call it a day. The good news for purchasers? It's so ugly that they won't sell very many, and they may rise in value in the decades to come based upon their rarity alone. If I owned Patek stock, this would be a 'Sell' moment for me.

So much for being affordable… The overseas at 28k seems like a steal compare to this, not to mention the base Royal Oak which is also sub-30.
