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).

Not well and don't think it would happen.

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.

Good grief NO.

It would pave the way for the Rolex calculator watch!!

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.

This.

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.

Just look at the square Cillini models … didn’t do well.

Have to agree on both points

Not something I'd be interested in but I'd be entertained by the reactions.

Rolex did even an octagonal watch: the Cellini King Midas 4370. Certainly an acquired taste...

77T · Yesterday, 09:12 PM

I would say the King Midas was originally pentagonal and later hexagonal.

The 4370 had a hexagonal cased Rolex with an octagonal bezel - very rare to find those nowadays.

But there was a vintage octagonal cased Rolex back in the 1920's.

The 1908 lineup could be a good platform for exploring square and/or rectagonal cases.

Or perhaps Tudor to test the waters at a lower price point.

The original Midas was a great watch :)
