I like the cubitius. It does wear on the big side with how wide the watch is. I got a chance to try it on at my AD, they had said they aren’t allowing pictures so didn’t get a chance to snap one. I didn’t put in a request for it since I don’t like it enough, and I do think the price is too high. - I’m looking more at the time/date only Cubitius. $41k for a time/date is really pushing it. - The 5712 which a micro rotor and moonphase with power reserve is $51k. - The recently discounted 5164a was $41k. It was on rubber, but it had a really nice dual time complication. - An AP RO time/date is $27k. It’s 50% more than an equivalent AP. I think an acceptable price if Patek was pushing prices up (which of course makes sense) would’ve been $35k or $37k. But $41k for steel time/date? My guess is that Cubitius will be produced in very low volumes for a few years and the MSRP will rise slower than the rest of the collection. Patek can’t ever reduce prices, so this is the only way to correct this mistake. |

Square watches wear much larger than round watches of tge same diameter, so it quite a bot larger than a 5711. I wish they had just updated the 5711 and raised the retail a bit. At this price point an AP Royal Oak would be my first pick. I am sure it will enjoy commercial success though. I have a 40mm Santos and I love it.

The 5711 looks so much nicer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That production will be split between the 3 models. Meaning there will be fewer Aquanauts or Nautilus watches available. For example, if they made 300 Aquanaut and Nautilus watches before, they will now make 300 Cubitus, Aquanaut and Nautilus watches. Cutting production by a 3rd. |

https://www.rolexforums.com/showpost...&postcount=109 I'm comparing it against a Nautilus because the Cubitus is effectively a larger Nautilus. It is still expensive relative to other simple 3 hander but the Nautilus bracelet is a beauty and involves higher level of finishing |
