240 was a landmark movement at the time for Patek.

It can be undersized if put into a larger watch. For sure😁

However, it fits perfectly into early smaller calatrava’s (less common to see this). You show a Ref 5000 limited edition that I really like. or even the 36mm 3940.

Long Live the 240!

By: AndCavanaugh : October 14th, 2024-22:31

Based on the 4:00 second hand there appears to be a new version of the venerable 240 in the Cubitus collection. The 240 has been described as a milestone and a workhorse or overused and undersized. Patek Philippe has never made a simple double disk date b...

Excellent deduction regarding the 4 o'clock second hand.

By: patrick_y : October 15th, 2024-01:23

Yes, all 240 calibers are designed to accommodate a second hand at the 4 o'clock position!

Incredible. That's a bit of a problem for me, to see they use the Cal 240 for a WT and for the Celestial, though.

I had been expecting the 240 to be slowly replaced by the 31-260, but that does not seem to be the case

By: brandon.c : October 15th, 2024-02:00

I was surprised that the 5330 was based on the 240 instead of the newer 31-260. I had been expecting Patek to slowly move all of their micro-rotor equipped watches to the latest movement. After all, the center-rotor automatics models slowly get upgraded t...

Peripheral rotor

I posted this in the other thread but i think it would be more fit in this thread. I was hoping for a shaped peripheral rotor. Then people who buy for movements wont have problems with the look or the dimensions of this cubitus. I would line up for one if...

At least it is a good fake

And if not, after all the discussions whether or not, it is a wonderful addition to the collection :)

Sorry…

By: hazzgard : October 15th, 2024-11:26

I don’t get these topics on Cubitus… Is this a new Patek family or just a joke ?

Yes, new family.

By: AndCavanaugh : October 15th, 2024-13:55

What you've been seeing is the only official picture from Patek (ad in Fortune), full release is on Thursday in Munich.

I hope then it is not the look of this new family. It is ugly and bad taste …

By: hazzgard : October 15th, 2024-15:32

There will be simple three hander automatic versions too

By: AndCavanaugh : October 15th, 2024-16:12

Sorry, but ai find this use of 240 for so many watches not incredible, but just pathetic...
