Cubitus 5822P-001 Automatic Winding

Description

The Patek Philippe Cubitus 5822P-001 is a testament to the brand's commitment to innovation and elegance, appealing to both men and women who appreciate fine horology. As part of Patek Philippe's first new collection in 25 years, the Cubitus line introduces a fresh perspective to luxury watchmaking.

Overview

Launched in October 2024, the Cubitus 5822P-001 stands out with its unique square-shaped case featuring rounded corners, a departure from Patek Philippe's traditional designs. This model combines modern aesthetics with technical mastery, offering complications such as an instantaneous grand date, day, and moon phase display. Powered by the newly developed Caliber 240 PS CI J LU, this timepiece reflects Patek Philippe's dedication to precision and elegance. 

Design and Craftsmanship

The 45mm platinum case showcases a harmonious blend of boldness and sophistication. Its sunburst blue dial, adorned with a horizontal embossed pattern, provides a striking contrast to the polished platinum, enhancing its visual appeal. The dial features applied hour markers and hands coated with luminescent material, ensuring readability in various lighting conditions. A navy blue composite strap with a fabric pattern and contrasting cream stitching complements the case, secured by a platinum Cubitus fold-over clasp. This meticulous attention to detail underscores Patek Philippe's renowned craftsmanship. 

Movement and Performance

At the heart of the 5822P-001 lies the Caliber 240 PS CI J LU, an ultra-thin self-winding mechanical movement. This caliber, based on the esteemed 240 movement, incorporates six patented innovations focusing on energy efficiency and precise simultaneous jumps of the displays. Operating at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz), it offers a power reserve between 38 to 48 hours. The movement's architecture ensures accurate timekeeping and seamless functionality of the grand date, day, and moon phase complications.
