Patek Philippe Cubitus: A New Interpretation of the “Elegant Sporty” Style
A testament to the enduring creative spirit of Patek Philippe, the new Cubitus collection draws inspiration from its rich collection of quadrangular timepieces found in the Patek Philippe museum. For the new Cubitus collection, however, Patek Philippe developed a completely original, innovative design in which the square bezel adopts rounded corners: a shape both daring and subtle, blending the square, the circle and the octagon. The 45 mm diameter combines with an extremely slender profile, ensuring timeless elegance. Each new model is an expression of Patek Philippe’s unique vision of fine watchmaking, demonstrating a passion for invention and drawing inspiration from Patek Philippe clients’ wide variety of tastes.
The most technical timepiece in the Cubitus collection, Patek Philippe unveils a completely new model in platinum with original displays uniting a large-format date, the moon phase and the day of the week, all changing instantaneously.
The distinctive design of the platinum case as a square with rounded corners, a 45 mm diameter and an elegantly slender profile, gains further finesse from the contrast between its polished and vertical-satin brushed finishes. Like all the Patek Philippe models in platinum, this timepiece has a diamond, here a baguette cut for the first time, set into the bezel at 6 o’clock. The modern, casual chic style with a technical edge continues through to a navy-blue strap with cream contrasting stitching in an ultra-resistant composite material embossed with a fabric motif, and a Cubitus fold-over clasp in platinum.
Patek Philippe build upon the elegant, daring design of its new Cubitus collection by endowing it with a vintage-inspired two-tone version in which the bezel and central bracelet links in rose gold combine with a caseband and lateral links in steel.
The blue sunburst dial with horizontal relief embossing combines elegance and legibility, with its applied baton-style hour markers and rounded baton-style hour and minute hands, all in rose-gold with a white luminescent coating. An inlaid frame in rose gold decorates the date aperture at 3 o’clock. This model is an exquisite showcase of Patek Philippe’s meticulous hand finishing, with the transparent sapphire caseback allowing view to the central rotor in 21K gold, adorned with the same horizontal motif as the dial.
Patek Philippe’s Cubitus Reference 5821/1A-001 is a true embodiment of sporting elegance, endowing the new collection with a steel version featuring an olive-green sunburst dial.
Elevating the sporty elegance of the collection, this exquisite new model showcases an integrated bracelet crafted for both flexibility and strength. The interplay of polished and vertical-satin-brushed finishes accentuates the bold modern design, while the 45 mm case, with its remarkable finesse at just 8.3 mm thick, gracefully adorns the wrist. The dial, featuring a captivating horizontal relief embossing, is dressed in a refined shade of olive green, beautifully illuminated by a delicate sunburst motif. The steel bracelet features a lockable size-adjustment system and a patented Patek Philippe fold-over clasp secured by four independent catches for comfort and safety.
Patek Philippe also includes new cufflinks in the collection, with each echoing the design of its complementary timepiece. Each pair of cufflinks features the signature square-shaped profile, with a frame and centre that beautifully echo the colour of the corresponding watch.
