Patek Philippe downsizes Cubitus collection to 40 mm

Two new Patek Philippe Cubitus watches in rose gold and white gold

In 2024, the Cubitus collection made headlines as the first sporty collection from Patek Philippe in 25 years. Even though the collection was rolled out in late 2024, it has been downsized from 45 mm (large size) to 40 mm (medium size). Given that Patek Philippe is calling this the medium size, there’s also a high chance that they might unveil another Cubitus version later this year, a smaller size to complete the Cubitus collection.

While the 45 mm cubitus collection is available in three different options, the new size was rolled out in two options: Cubitus Reference 7128/1R-001 and Reference 7128/1G-001. The Cubitus Reference 7128/1R-001 features a rose gold casing, accentuated by a sunburst brown dial with gold hour markers covered by a white luminescent coating for enhanced visibility. The casing and bracelet are highlighted by a satin finish for that modern look.

The ref. 7128/1G-001 comes with a 40 mm white gold casing complemented by a sunburst blue dial to give the front face a contemporary aesthetic. To create contrast between different components, the brand filled the hour markers with a white luminescent coating.

Like the first option, the 40 mm white gold version also stands out due to the polished surfaces. Every version is equipped with a lockable adjustment system, designed to perfectly fit on the wrist—the system is quite unique and was patented by the brand.

Both versions are powered by the 26-330 S C caliber, a self-winding movement with 30 jewels, a 38 power-reserve, and a 21 K gold rotor that adds to the look thanks to the embossed pattern. The two new watches, the Cubitus ref. 7128/1R-001 and ref. 7128/1G-001, are both priced at $76,590.

Serious Question: Why are you wearing anything OTHER than Taylor Stitch this fall?
Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
