Patek Philippe

the 5711 checks the boxes.  I’m guessing you weren’t interested in the green dial variant, or the platinum?

The green dial and platinum are 45 mm ref. 5822 and I imagine they wear quite differently.
I’ll be interested to see one in real life to understand how it really feels.
Best, Emmanuel

and even the size surprisingly worked well. However the 40mm felt a bit on the smaller side for me, even though my 5711 feels just right. I know, it doesn’t make full sense since the above 7128 and 5711 are both 40mm. Perhaps it’s an effect of the square case, or just that I preferred some distinction from the original 5711. In the above pic it looks like the larger references could work for him, and are distinct from the 5711, but he probably didn’t like the size.

until I see one in the metal someday.

at 45mm

Seriously, it looks good on your wrist.

over the 5711 every day. I know I am in a minority but the 7128 apart from having a superior movement also wears better on the wrist. The only thing against the 7128 is its heft since it is an all gold watch.

Bravo, good to see you buy what you like. Cheers!

its my family jeweler... I can always have it again , if i wish. just maybe a little wait. LOL

The Cubitus design remains a swing and miss for me and I am not interested no matter the size. Also prefer steel over white gold for a watch I am wearing every day.

lineage.  

family jeweler. can not do that. or will never have anything offer again.

I'm not the biggest fan of the Nautilus. But I have a lot of respect for design and history. A great and iconic watch. The cubitus looks to me like the result of asking a child to draw a square watch. There is nothing on the Cubitus that I could like 🤷‍♂️
