Calling all watch enthusiasts and luxury timepiece collectors! Patek Philippe, the storied Swiss watchmaker, has unveiled its first new collection in 25 years – the Cubitus line. This exciting release comes at a time when luxury watch prices have stabilized, driven by a surge in demand from younger investors and collectors during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Cubitus line boasts three distinct models, with two featuring steel casings and one crafted from platinum. According to a press release, the collection aims to offer a fresh interpretation of the ‘elegant sporty’ style. The steel models, one with rose gold accents for a vintage touch and the other in a sleek all-steel design, embody the line’s sporty inspiration and showcase vibrant colored faces. The platinum model stands out with its unique face design, including a large-date display, moon phase tracker, and day of the week indicator.
Innovative technologies have been integrated into the Cubitus watches, such as an ultrathin self-winding mini rotor and an instantaneous-jump mechanism that ensures accurate display alignment within 18 milliseconds. Patek Philippe has filed six patent applications for these cutting-edge features, reinforcing its commitment to excellence in watchmaking.
Complementing the new watches are matching cufflinks, designed with a white-gold frame that mirrors the shape of the watch cases. Established in 1839, Patek Philippe is revered as one of ‘The Holy Trinity’ of watchmaking, alongside Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin.
Prior to the Cubitus line, Patek Philippe’s last new collection was the Twenty~4 design introduced in 1999, tailored for the modern, active woman. Stay tuned for more updates and insights from Extreme Investor Network as we continue to cover the latest in luxury watch trends and innovations.
