Patek Philippe’s Cubitus Collection Is The Bold New Flex You Didn’t Know You Needed

With a similar vibe with Nautilus 5811/1G-001, the Cubitus collection feels like it's destined to follow the same path as any of Patek’s watches—high demand, long waitlist, and astronomical resale prices.

After 25 years of holding the fort with their iconic lineup, Patek Philippe is introducing a brand new collection. Known for making some of the most coveted timepieces in the world—especially the legendary Nautilus—Patek has just dropped the Cubitus Collection, and watch aficionados are already losing their minds. 


The new collection features three models, each bringing its own flavor while staying true to the brand's combination of precision, luxury, and subtle flexing. Here’s what you need to know about the Cubitus Collection.

 

1. Reference 5821/1A

This 45 stainless steel stunner with a square case immediately sets it apart from other Patek watches. The dial features an olive green, horizontally embossed sunburst design that’s sleek and understated. While it clearly nods to the Nautilus, the square case gives the watch a modern edge. Inside, the watch runs on 26-330 S C caliber with stop-seconds function and a central 21k gold rotor. It’s also water-resistant up to 30 meters, and it's priced at 41,243 USD or 2,372,296.99 PHP.


The bracelet also brings some familiar Nautilus vibes with an updated micro adjustable clasp, which only adds to the everyday wearability. If you’ve been itching for something that feels fresh but still carries Patek’s timeless elegance, this is the one.

2. Reference 5821/1AR

If you’re into the mixed-metal look, then this might be your jam. It keeps the same overall structure and features as the 5821/1A but swaps out the all-steel case for a blend of stainless steel and rose gold, which pairs nicely with its deep blue dial. At 61,276 USD or 3,524,594.97, this one is for collectors who like a little more flash without going overboard.

3. Reference 5822P

The last but definitely not the least. The reference 5822P takes the entire collection to a whole new level. Encased in platinum and paired with a blue composite strap, this model is the most complex of the bunch. It channels Nautilus 5712 with its off-centered moon phase and day display, but it has the caliber 240 PS CI J LU, a new movement that incorporates grand date, day, and moon-phase complications. 


With six new patents filed for the development of this movement, Patek is truly flexing its technical capabilities. The twin aperture grand date sits prominently at 12 o’clock, and the pièce de résistance is the baguette-cut diamond set into the bezel at 6 o’clock. If you are looking for the most luxurious model of the Cubitus trio, this one will set you back 88,378 USD or 5,083,501.77— but considering the craftsmanship and exclusivity, it’s definitely worth every penny.

There is no doubt the Cubitus Collection is going to be extremely popular. After all, Patek Philippe is one of the most respected names in the watchmaking world, and the demand for their pieces is indescribable. With a similar vibe with Nautilus 5811/1G-001, the Cubitus collection feels like it's destined to follow the same path as any of Patek’s watches—high demand, long waitlist, and astronomical resale prices.


The square case design gives the collection a twist that we didn’t know we needed. It’s almost like Patek took the DNA of Santos de Cartier and elevated it into an ultra-luxury watch. The watch feels sporty yet refined, and it's something that can transition effortlessly from casual fits to more formal settings. 


The brand’s decision to launch this new collection at a time when the luxury market is declining is a very ballsy move. According to Garth Friesen of Forbes, secondary market prices for luxury Swiss watches continue to fall, according to the recent report from Morgan Stanley in collaboration with WatchCharts. Despite this, however, we still believe that this won’t deter the brand’s loyalists even with Cubitus' steep prices, as some of them would have paid well above retail for a shot at owning something exclusive.
