It lacks everything that made Patek to be The Patek
It looks even worse in the metal, than in pictures. When placed next to other Patek models, it just become obvious - no elegance, no character, no esthetics, nor there is any complexity. The watch is huge. The bezel is thick and totally unimpressive. There is a strap stolen from Nautilus, and that's the only thing that goes for the new model! No matter how hard Patek will try to spin it, to how many wrists of brainless footballers and bribed celebrities they will attach cubic horribility, anybody with common sense will have to admit the obvious - it is a failed design.

Thanks Patrick for your assessment. Glad that
you had a chance to try Cubitus in the metal. In Hong Kong, ADs tend to have one Cubitus each for display & to enable customers to try on. Was the 1AR available for your purchase it you had wanted it ? Hope you get to try the green and P before deciding.
Cubitus
The watch was in a single glass case with a reserved sign under it and the only one in the shop. Hopefully more will be forecoming. Thanks for your kind response.
Eric Clapton
Today I was watching a video of the concert in homage to George Harrison at Royal Albert Hall in 2002. Eric Clapton was wearing a Patek chronograph on a black strap. Once I noticed the watch on his wrist that’s all I could see for the rest of the concert....
You make some good points.
I’m with you on a lot of points. Clapton has s bunch of super elegant PP’s (if he hasn’t sold them at auctions).
