Exclusive Leak: Patek Philippe’s New “Cubitus” Watch Revealed Ahead of Time
In what seems to be an accidental but thrilling reveal, Fortune Magazine’s October 2024 edition has leaked details about an upcoming Patek Philippe model — the Cubitus. This comes as a major surprise to collectors and enthusiasts alike, offering a sneak peek into one of the most anticipated timepieces of the year.
The leak was brief, but enough to give us a glimpse of what’s coming. According to the mistakenly published article, the Patek Philippe Cubitus will feature an electric blue dial, reminiscent of the striking shade seen on the 5811/1G, which had previously set the standard for modern dial aesthetics. The dial promises to be bold, vibrant, and eye-catching, adding a fresh twist to Patek’s traditional design language.
But the dial isn’t the only head-turning detail. The Cubitus is reported to be housed in a white gold case, which will give it an understated yet luxurious feel. And in a significant design departure for Patek Philippe, the case will be square-shaped, reminiscent of Cartier’s iconic Santos, which we had speculated might influence Patek’s future design directions in a previous article.
The blend of classic Patek Philippe elegance with a square case design suggests that the Cubitus could mark the beginning of a bold new era for the brand. While Patek Philippe is known for its adherence to timeless, round cases, this new shape could appeal to modern tastes while still retaining the brand’s signature craftsmanship.
We’re still waiting for official confirmation from Patek Philippe on the Cubitus, but if this leak is accurate, it’s likely to generate a whirlwind of excitement in the watch world. Collectors will be scrambling to get their hands on this timepiece, which promises to be a groundbreaking addition to the storied legacy of Patek Philippe.
Stay tuned for more updates as the official details emerge, and let us know your thoughts on the new Cubitus and its daring new design!
