Hypothetical - new square Rolex

Following Patek's Cubitus...

How well do you think a square Rolex would be received if announced as a new release? Say, steel, oyster and jubilee, along the lines of a Date Just or Day-Date (Square Date? lol).

Something other than a round Rolex could be fun.

Less seriously, I’m pretty sure there would be a thread or three on TRF. With many extreme opinions and hurt feelings….. about a luxury watch.

At least Rolex would make a square movement.

Rolex has done a rectangular watch with the Prince. Certainly looks better than a square.

If they could charge Patek prices I’m sure they’d consider it

I’d be okay with a rectangular watch. I always liked the Cellini Prince.

But I don’t like square watches.

I think with Rolex's reputation for classic and timeless designs, a square case would be quite a departure from their traditional round styles.

Would be surprised if rolex did that. Rolex doesnt seem like the type to dilute their lineup so I want to say no that won't happen, at least anytime soon.
