Michel, known as michelrectangulo, champions the resurgence of rectangular watches, arguing they are currently overlooked by major brands like Rolex, Patek Philippe, Omega, and Audemars Piguet. He contends that Cartier and Jaeger-LeCoultre primarily carry the torch for this elegant form factor. Michel believes the 2020s should echo the 'golden age' of rectangular watches from the last century, advocating for greater choice and appreciation for these timepieces, which he considers the most elegant for formal wear.

They are terribly under rated which make them a great buy currently.
Here is my Septantième.
Under appreciated but I think they are unique.
My first rectangular was also a 1931 reverso, but since the thread already has that one covered let me offer another entry - perhaps the very first rectangular wrist watch?
Out of production in 2015...called the Cellini Prince
