My first Patek was a 5164a and I waited roughly 1.5 years for it, no other purchases at the AD. This was 2019.

Chris Hall at The Fourth Wheel purportedly has seen press images of the Cubitis and he believes we will be looking at “Code 11.59 levels of enthusiasm.” Leaks will be coming before too long methinks.

Would be so weird if that Nautilus-like green rectangular dial he is probably referring to actually was real. I can't imagine it but obviously could be very wrong.

To be fair the Aquanaut and the Nautilus were both unpopular for a very long time. Wouldn’t be surprised if these pick up steam over time.

That's what I was going to say @WatchEater666.
Many novelties got a cold welcome with very assertive opinions ("not the brand's DNA") that people have changed further down the road (the Nautilus being the most famous example but also the first days of the 5070, the 5975, the 5320G Creme, the 5212A, the 5226/5326 more recently). Same with the first days of the 5711 and 5976 Anniversary or the 5650. Social media live from buzz and will have to over react. To be successful the day it is unveiled it has to be similar to what exists (like for cars). I never liked the ROO but it is successful and that's perfect to me. |

It's a great idea to have alternatives to Calatrava's.
The July 2024 Hodinkee podcast on Calatrava's was pretty disparaging, basically calling them boring watches, and justifying it with the overall market demand and pricing (apart from a few specific models). If I want to cash out my Calatrava it's going to pay out about 65% of what I paid. -Good thing I enjoy wearing mine! Still...it's not like you can buy one Calatrava or one Cubitus and then expect to have a 5167A ready for you any time soon for $24,750 USD. |
