Now that the photos are starting to arrive, I thought I could attempt a photo review of these two new Cubitus models, both in gold . Case: 40 x 8,5 mm Calibre 26‑330 S C/434 (4 Hz, 45h power reserve) Best, Emmanuel A/ Ref. 7128/1G-001 ( white gold case wi...

Patek Philippe's new 40 mm Cubitus models

LARGE OR SMALL

As always, there's no other way to know than to try them on!

40mm on my wrist seems a

And do you think they will also consider

Next could be 36mm with bling and matching jewelry for the mistress or wife(s).

Still do Not understand the strategy

+1

I personally prefer to refrain from any judgment until I have seen these watches for real.

I agree always better to try on and see in person

Emmanuel, I tried both at the AD in Singapore, and for my 15.5cm wrist (yes very small) the smaller version was the way to go. The new size was perfect and it wore much more like my 5712a.

Thank you for your feedback.

honestly no. To me it is just “another nautilus” but executed worse - I hope I am not offending anyone. I just don’t feel it has any identity (I guess that’s true for any of the first model lines).

That being said I love Patek’s rose. I am trying to acquire the 5712r

I wish you the best for this acquisition.

These photos make the dials shine in all their beauty.

Predictably, because of the warm colors, I prefer the rose gold version.

Beautiful photos. People can complain about the derivative nature of the Cubitus, but I like it. How many paintings did Van Gogh make make of Sunflowers?

Not sure comparing a Van Gogh painting to this watch is the way to go : )

Understood. However, even the best can’t escape their own thoughts. Heck, the Aquanaut was a derivative of the Nautilus. Genta became famous “doing the “same thing in a different way”.

I personally prefer to refrain from any judgment until I have seen these watches for real (if I ever do so).

I said the same thing to my first wife in 1992 when Cindy Crawford appeared on that Pepsi ad.

You missed your chance, but I'm sure you're doing just fine : )

Truth be told. I have my own “Cindy Crawford” and have never looked back.

This is the way to go : )

True! The worst you can get swapping a watch is contact dermatitis. The other alternative ? 💉

Wife swapping is so retro 1970s.

I remember watching a Monty Python skit as a child. I remember laughing along with my Father, but not really understanding what was going on.

This one?

No. Did not my link work? “9-stone Welsh born wife..”

Got it...didn't see the link first time...

Do reviewers ever measure these with calipers?

I agree with you that the thickness appears to exceed 8,5mm,

Here's the photo on their site...

Coincidence: in this video,

: ) Not a huge difference, but telling...

It's a bit similar to the way brands

Optics and distance play mind games. The only dimension that matters is your bank balance.

Can't say I'm a fan of the model range, but the 40mm version seems like the best size

Same for me here.

Thank you for the photo composition.

My pleasure, thank you.

I prefer the 5281/1A-001

If you can pull off the 45 mm,

I have been wearing the 5281/1A for a while now

Good to know.

I have tried both in the metal

Good to know!

And what do you think of this new Patek pattern

I feel just like you,

I have tried them, and it is nicely executed but make too “industrial” compared to the more “handmade” feeling of the previous pattern

Thank you for your feedback!

Definitely nicer in my eyes. More sane. 40mm. My opinion only. Respect others. 😊

But according to those who have tried it on,

the next Nautilus.

Time will tell!

Thank you very much for the attractive high quality photos!

You may be right: I find it hard to figure it in my mind.

The smaller size is a step in the right direction

Thanks for sharing your hands-on impressions.

A friend just tried these in an NYC event.

Yes, it seems that the rated "45 mm" model wears smaller.
