The Most Debated Watch of 2024? But also one we all seem to agree about... Ironically, where the Nautilus was one of the biggest catalysts that began the "Integrated Bracelet Trend" so the Cubitus seems to have hammered the largest nail in the trends coffin ;)

How we forget the Nautilus was the ugly duckling, taking decades to become a swan. Minor updates (love your mesh bracelet render) and time will likely see the same result. Consider also the complications a larger dial could accommodate. In pictures it looks clumsy, videos on wrists I like it.

I agree with your review @IDGuy. Honestly, the Patek CEO comment about people complaining about the design not being able to afford one is so elitist and shortsighted. It's exactly the reason why people who might afford a Patek in the future will turn their back on them and people like me who could buy one simply won't because we don't want to be associated with such classless people.

I feel like they really missed out on redefining their version of a sports watch. They put so much research into the new double date complication, I would have loved to see a double date standard for all models in the collection with the date at the 6 o’clock. In addition, I think removing the wings from the watch head would go a long way to distance itself from the nautilus. Finally, the dial is obviously identical to the nautilus, they really needed to change it up with a sunburst finish or something

The fact you can't even be bothered attempting to tweak the design, speaks volumes. But I doubt this release signals the end of the integrated bracelet craze. After all, Gerald Genta is the keystone looming high above the integrated sports watch segment - not any particular brand - and his involvement was limited to designing the initial watch lines. The brands have been developing and/or 'massaging' Genta's original philosophy - independent of his input - for fifty years. I do wonder what Genta would think, had this been released prior to his passing.

I’m saving up for a Santos, I believe it’s timeless, masculine and a true masterpiece. The Cubitus has been compared to it since it came out, so now I’m afraid it will actually make more people aware of the Santos, and it will become more popular in turn. I know it’s not the same market bracket, but that never stopped watch buyers from cross-shopping to scratch the itch.

I tend to like the Cubitus a little more than the Aquanaut, but to be honest I have no desire to own either. Even if given to me I'd likely sell it, buy what I really want, and put a little change in my pocket. 😎 Cubitus buyers will probably find this tacky, but if I was in the market for a square watch, I would probably get the only TAG Heuer that appeals to me. The Monaco with the calibre 11 in it. Edit: You know... now that I have thought about this for a few more minutes. I feel historically Patek really built its name, and demanded its high prices, due to the extreme level of craftsmanship and high horology. They were/are the pinnacle of the triangle of the holy trinity. Peak watchmaking. I feel they are now trying to drive their prices with exclusivity and controversial designs. I wanted to say "edgy designs", but its not actually edgy at all. Anyway, I mentioned square watches, but for high finish and high horology... Give me an Armin Strom or Breguet any time over a PP.

The watch itself is fine, arguably a more conventional and less divisive design than the Nautilus. Not my cup of tea, but neither was the Nautilus or Royal Oak. The problem is all the games Patek have played, "discontinuing" the Nautilus, then releasing it again just in white gold, then releasing this steel Nautilus with a more squared case. They're just trying to be too smart, and it comes off as tricky, then combined with the fact that it isn't exactly the most innovative design to say the least, and combined with that ridiculous ad and the Stern comments just fed fuel into the dumpster fire.

I personally think it looks great. Although I don't get the massively over rated Nautilus either . Side by side its far more modern and clean with space to breathe. The nautilus looks lumpy, cramped and old fashioned. The fawning and over hype is straight out of the " People only like what others like first" playbook . It really isn't that special.imho My only gripes are the bracelet is too thin and the round movement window looks totally wrong, especially as it runs against the premise of the watch. The thing he personally did wrong was by calling it a brand new range. Its obviously not and was even called a square Nautilus. If he had said its a side step for those wanting something similar but different.

I’ve owned two Calatravas and while I liked the way they looked, found something I didn’t like - with the 3919, it was the crown. A manually-wound watch with a crown that small?!! The other watch was one I bought in pink gold, so that’s on me. Patek should have tapped a designer and made an all-new watch. The Sterns should limit Thierry’s time with the press and make him stay on script. Oh wait, I’m getting my nepo-babies mixed up.

My issue will always be 10 hears of research and newest line in 25 years, just for square nautilus… hell at least Rolex had the decency of yearly incremental changes and a gorgeous dress watch with the 1908 when they discontinued the celini

Watch aside, that promo video was so nauseating, I think if I owned the watch associated with it, I’d be looking to offload it ASAP. Yes I am probably within the CEOs demographic of not being able to afford a Cuboid, but this watch, the promo and his clumsy speech, has cemented my lack of aspiration to to actually own something from the brand. Moved to the ignore column.

If they make it smaller then it would be more popular. If they reworked the movement and made it square then they might be on to a winner.

It looks like an homage to an homage.

This is the perfect flipper watch… till it isn’t. You are right all around it’s a forgettable design and every time I see it I think about how the Santos does it better.

'I don't care about the design' - I couldn't agree more. And it's only the worst of design which can create that lack of an opinion. Where it's just so 'non' that it captures no emotion at all. The main take I have is the date in the centre complication looks terrible - why is one number bolder than the other - and why is it aligned so badly that it would make Seiko blush - and this is on a PR image....

Would you choose a cubitus or AP x Kaws ? ☠️
@sebsebseb190511 күн бұрын
I said AP is to be praised for doing something new, unlike Patek or Rolex, for example. I love the design of CODE 11:59 and if I would win the loto I would buy one.

I like it a lot. Much more than the Nautilus.

The bracelet feels out of proportion with the now-too-large case imho. The nautilus to me was always the less-cool Royal Oak and this is just a butchered nautilus with a jaw dropping price tag (even at retail). On its own the watch isn’t dreadful, but what it represents relative to the quite elegant nautilus and the thinly-veiled contempt PP has for its consumers? It’s a pass for me
@achuck432124 күн бұрын
Whereas AP was criticized for the Code being a departure from the Royal Oak yet still coming across as sterile, the Cubitus seems so derivative that is almost lands in homage or microbrand territory. At least with the Code, it can stand on its own merits with the floating lugs, the patheon crystal, and the dial choices. The Cubitus will forever be relegated to applying Nautilus style cues in a disjointed manner. AP tried to move on from the RO, where as Patek has decided to milk its customers once more. I would love to own a Code. I would never buy a Cubitus.

Great title... it is a little bit yucky this watch isn't it. I'll just keep wearing my Casio W59 square.. the only square you really need

Imagine the impact this piece would’ve made in let’s say 2021? By 2024 where the “integrated trend” is drowning? Seems just a bit late to the party 😆🥃

All the haters and most of the commenters are wrong, wrong, wrong. The Cubitus is masculine, bold, and handsome; just what Patek needed to make a splash and break from the tired, boring, and frankly girly porthole Genta design. But it’s not only masculine, it’s also restrained and not gaudy like other “macho” watches like the Royal Oak, and by nature of its brand, packs a much harder horological punch than a similar Cartier. Furthermore, all this controversy is setting it up to be a highly desirable collectible in the future. I would gladly take this over the Nautilus, and the future many years from now will prove me correct. Also, as an aside, if you think this is ugly but the Aquanaut attractive, you need to get your head checked
