Thank you Michael for sharing real pictures. I personally really like the 5821/1A and 5822P, and can't wait to try them on when our local Patek AD has them. I'd definitely like to add these to my collection over time, but I do agree that the Nautilus is the GOAT when it comes to sports watches, and it makes my 5811G so much more special. Either way, I'm looking forward trying these IRL over the next few weeks.

Looks like a measurement (case/dial) from 12 to 6 would be equal between both? But then again, the 5811 has already been upsized if I remember correctly?

If it had been a touch smaller I think many more would have appreciated it.

If they would have made it smaller, it would've looked much better.

I don't have the exact dimensions but the L2L of the Cubitus is only 46mm which should be ballpark of the 5811. Can anyone here confirm the L2L of the 5811 - mine is in deposit box? Visually the 12-6 are close.

It’s a big, overpriced collection that lacks imagination.
After much anticipation and expectation, it leaves me with a bittersweet feeling. It could have been epic, with a diver or sports chrono, but it’s just more of the same, in a worse form. Thierry’s decisions are based on the assumption that we’ll love anything from Patek Philippe. On the other hand, I’m very happy because I already have, to my taste, the three most amazing sports watches ever made by Patek Philippe: the 5066, the 5164A, and the 5711. It's very nice to know that I won’t be lamenting not being able to buy new watches from them. |

The Cubitus release only serves to emphasize that watch collectors who value innovative design for sport watches need to go Independent. |

IMO, would look better if they lose the ears on the sides of the case. It would look more streamlined and flows better with the bracelet.

Yeah but it’s been stuck there for eight days presumably.

I am sure Patek is already starting to feel pangs of regret, and yet they will make these pieces appear hard to obtain to extract maximum value out of the model even though I'd wager demand will be far less than Naut/Aqua

It's a complete about face. Thierry gave the famous interview where he declared that he does not want Patek to be known as the Nautilus company, boldly declares the 5711 done in line with that, and then turns literally right around and has the elves in the factory clone the Nautilus, just make it square, and release it for the first new model in 25 years... |

Seems like a watch that wasn’t necessary to create. Maybe they were too far into the R&D spend and decided to just bite the bullet and release at a time of year, which doesn’t make sense to release such a flagship watch

I would have far rather seen new Calatrava variants, maybe on rubber strap or interchangeable bracelet, as the new entry model release or something to harken back more to Patek's roots as a watchmaker and tie that in with current youth tastes, than another Nautilus spin albeit this time in far worse form.. |

Someone earlier posted that they are pivoting to SS models because dress watches have fallen out of favor. Your comment reflects how that is probably not true. The Stern family has been running an effective business for generations. So, it's best to conclude that their decision to create the Cubitus was a good one for Patek, and not some sort of bet-the-farm activity. PS. I'm going to toss on my Calatrava today, lol. |

They are not a Nautilus company you are alluding to simply because they release Cubitus yesterday to complement their full line up of watch collection. |
