Timeout's candid wristshots and initial impressions of the Patek Philippe Cubitus models offer invaluable real-world perspective for collectors considering these polarizing references. His direct comparison to the Nautilus 5711, particularly regarding wearability on strap versus bracelet, provides a crucial benchmark for understanding the Cubitus's on-wrist presence. This article synthesizes community reactions to Timeout's observations, exploring the broader implications for Patek Philippe's design direction and collector preferences.














Thought I’d like the time only model over the complicated big date - turns out I was wrong. The big date on the strap wears a lot smaller than the bracelet model. Both wear larger than my 5711.





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.

In addition to how they wear on the wrist in terms of size, what are your thoughts on how they look đź‘€ in the metal and what is your overall assessment ?

What was your overall assessment? I’ve heard ppl say that it’s too big. I hope it doesn’t bring back the huge watch trend.

….especially the time only version. People seem especially critical because of the incredibly stupid model line name. Thanks sharing.

To see them in the Tokyo boutique already, even as display only models considering the press release was a few days ago.

The blue dial large date looks smaller than the olive green SS time only as the bracelet on the latter is wide at the case and adds to the visual. Not tempted by either. I thought that the green dial would have more “pop” but didn’t under the boutique lighting.

I did prefer the large date model and really liked the strap - preferred it to the supersized Nautilus bracelet. The east-west real estate on the watch is really large and noticeable in the way which the ears on the Nautilus are not.
