I have mixed feelings about these pieces.
Eccentric and daring, yes, but a little odd too. And I personally find the two-tone and gold/leather models more attractive than the steel ones: the 'bricks' dial with Roman numerals and leaf hands feels nicer to me.
Yes, interesting reference, though a bit odd too.
I'm glad this post brought some discovery! Thanks for looking.
The Russians are welcome to those as far as I’m concerned!
But thanks for your research. All the best, Jon
Thank you, Jon!
Odd reference, for sure. I find it interesting though I certainly have mixed feelings about it. Best, Emmanuel
Unpopular doesn't always mean bad, but this is an odd design, for sure.
I find it interesting, though, even if I have mixed feelings about it.
With the portion of the 3, it looks more balanced at night.
I could imagine that was the reason.
Thanks for looking.
It's an interesting design, for sure, though I have mixed feelings about it.

Thanks Gordon, great article on the implications and background of the Cubitus!
And I agree with you concerning the crown and the 'bricks' motif (I think I've heard this word) of the 5090 & 5091. Best, Emmanuel
An example of Patek's wide variety, quattro.
Cue the Tchaikovsky...or perhaps Scriabin.
Here is a clear opinion!
My feeling is less severe, but I imagine that there is something for everyone. And, for me, unpopular does not always rhyme with ugly. Anyway, thanks for chiming in.
