Catalogue Essay
In 2024, Patek Philippe caused a shock in the watch world by launching a brand new line of sport watches, marking the first such introduction in over twenty-five years since the Twenty~4 collection debuted in 1999. This new collection features two references so far: the 5821, which offers time and date functions, and the 5822, which includes a day-date complication, an oversized calendar aperture and moon phases.

The Cubitus was conceived from a vision articulated by the brand’s President, Thierry Stern, who aimed to introduce a completely new square-shaped watch to enhance Patek Philippe’s offerings. The Cubitus’s satin-brushed case finish and embossed dials reflect the DNA of the Nautilus but with sharper edges and a more contemporary aesthetic.

Inside the new Cubitus ref. 5821/1A-001 is the caliber 26-330 SC, a movement that was first introduced in 2019 and is also featured in the current Nautilus ref. 5811. This new variation includes a hacking seconds feature, allowing for more accurate time setting when the crown is pulled. Additionally, the new 22k gold rotor is adorned with Cubitus-themed ribbing, adding a distinctive touch.

Fitted with a sunburst olive green dial, the watch is preserved in like-new condition and comes with all the accompanying accessories. We are very pleased to offer the Cubitus for the first time in the history of Phillips.
