Every once in a while, a watch brand surprises us — not with complications or materials, but with a fresh design language. That’s exactly what Patek Philippe has done with the Cubitus collection. It’s not just a new model; it’s a completely new family.
Cubitus walks the line between classic and contemporary. It’s cushion-shaped but assertively angular. It’s elegant, but with just the right amount of edge. And depending on the reference, you’ll find it in a sleek 40mm or a powerful 45mm case size, each bringing its own presence to the wrist.
What Makes the Cubitus… the Cubitus?
The design is unlike anything else in the Patek lineup. The case sits somewhere between a softened square and a rounded tonneau, with a modern integrated bracelet on some references and high-end straps on others. Horizontal dial embossing gives it a sense of motion, while subtle curves and sharp bevels create a sculptural effect.
It’s the kind of design that grows on you — from “interesting” to “I need this.”
But where it really gets exciting is when you dig into the references.
Cubitus 5821/1A-001 – Steel, Olive, and Effortless Cool (40mm)
This one’s already turning heads. The 5821/1A-001 keeps things clean in stainless steel, paired with a sporty integrated bracelet and a striking olive green dial. The horizontal grooves give it texture, while the polished facets along the case and bracelet elevate the whole piece.
Inside is Patek’s reliable Caliber 26-330 S C/430, a self-winding movement with a sweep seconds and date at 3 o’clock. It’s a modern daily watch that doesn’t lean on nostalgia — it defines its own lane. The 40mm sizing makes it super wearable for a wide range of wrists, giving it just the right mix of presence and comfort.
Cubitus 5821/1AR-001 – Two-Tone Renaissance (40mm)
If you’re looking for something a little warmer, the 5821/1AR-001 mixes rose gold and stainless steel in a way that’s far more refined than retro. The alternating metals on the bracelet shimmer against a deep blue dial, with rose gold accents on the hands and markers.
It’s still powered by the same Caliber 26-330 S C/430, offering that perfect balance of beauty and practicality. This two-tone 40mm model hits a sweet spot — not flashy, but undeniably luxurious.
Cubitus 5822P-001 – Complications & Platinum Polish (45mm)
The 5822P-001 is the most refined Cubitus yet. Crafted in platinum with a deep blue dial and matching strap, it’s bold but sophisticated. At 45mm, it makes a confident statement, while the curved case ensures a smooth fit on the wrist.
Inside, it features the new Caliber 240 PS CI J LU, powering an instantaneous grand date, day display, and moon phase — all laid out cleanly over the signature embossed dial. This is not just a pretty face; it’s technical mastery wrapped in modern elegance. The ultimate Cubitus for those who want timeless complexity in a contemporary shell.
Cubitus 5821/1AR-001 – The Bold Rose Gold Statement (45mm)
The 5821/1AR-001 is a striking timepiece, crafted from rose gold and featuring a stunning navy blue dial. At 45mm, it makes a statement on the wrist, yet remains balanced and refined. Powered by the Caliber 26-330 S C/430 movement, it offers a simple yet elegant time-and-date display. The polished finish enhances its sophisticated design, while the embossed dial brings texture and dimension to the piece. This is the Cubitus for those who seek a combination of timeless elegance and bold, modern style.
A Family with Flexibility
What’s great about the Cubitus collection is how it offers variety without losing identity. Whether you’re drawn to the streamlined 40mm steel references or the commanding 45mm gold chronograph, each watch speaks the same language — one of geometry, harmony, and modern luxury.
Rather than chasing trends, Patek has built a line that feels timeless from the outset. The Cubitus doesn’t shout. It asserts.
