Patek Philippe Cubitus and Nautilus Collections Watches and Wonders 2025

Patek Philippe certainly made a statement at Watches and Wonders 2025. While the brand’s reputation is built on refinement over reinvention, this year’s releases showcase a perfect balance of both. Among the 15 new models spread across 12 collections, two standouts demand attention—the divisive yet intriguing Cubitus and the ever-iconic Nautilus.

Patek Philippe’s 2025 lineup reinforces its dedication to elevating existing designs while subtly reshaping its most recognizable collections. Last year, the brand leaned into its mastery of travel complications, refining dual-time and world-time displays. This time, the focus shifts towards sophisticated calendar complications and bold aesthetic evolutions. The Cubitus, which stirred up strong opinions upon its debut, receives a second wave of releases, while the Nautilus sees a continued expansion, proving once again why it remains the quintessential luxury sports watch.

Now, let’s dive into what’s new for these two collections in 2025.

When Patek Philippe first introduced the Cubitus collection last year, it sparked debate among enthusiasts. Was this an evolution of the Nautilus, or something entirely new? With its squared-off case and integrated bracelet, the design certainly felt familiar, yet distinct enough to carve its own identity. Now, just months later, Patek Philippe refines the concept with the 7128 references—two time-only models in a more wearable 40mm size.

Available in white gold (Ref. 7128/1G-001) with a sunburst blue-grey dial and rose gold (Ref. 7128/1R-001) with a sunburst brown dial, these new additions maintain the Cubitus’s signature horizontal dial embossing—a design element echoed on the 21K gold rotor. The applied white gold hour markers and hands, treated with luminescent coating, ensure that legibility matches the elegance. Even the date window receives a luxurious touch, framed in white gold to blend seamlessly with the refined aesthetic.

The two-part case, a mere 8.5mm thick, showcases a striking combination of polished and vertically brushed surfaces, emphasizing the collection’s modernist geometry. Inside, the self-winding caliber 26-330 S C powers the watch, complete with a stop-seconds function for precision time-setting. Though this movement is also used in the larger 45mm Cubitus models, it remains a proven workhorse within Patek’s lineup.

Finishing the package is a matching gold bracelet, featuring Patek Philippe’s innovative lockable adjustment system and a patented fold-over clasp with four independent catches.

With a price tag of £65,600, the Cubitus 7128 series refines the controversial collection, presenting it in a more approachable format with classic Patek colourways. Whether that’s enough to win over sceptics remains to be seen, but there’s no denying the brand’s commitment to pushing its design boundaries.

While the Cubitus is perhaps the most talked about model in Patek Philippe’s contemporary line-up (for better or for worse), the Nautilus remains the undisputed icon. And with the new 5811/1460G, Patek has taken its legendary sports watch and elevated it into a full-fledged haute joaillerie masterpiece. If the standard Nautilus is the refined aristocrat of luxury sports watches, this diamond-clad iteration is the one that commands the entire ballroom.

Building upon the now-discontinued 5719/10G-010, this latest high-jewellery Nautilus grows slightly to 41mm and foregoes a date window for an even more opulent, uninterrupted dial. But let’s be honest—this watch isn’t about functionality. It’s about diamonds.

And there are a lot of them. 1,285 brilliant-cut diamonds (6.43 carats) shimmer across the dial, bracelet, and case, while 195 baguette-cut diamonds (13.27 carats) punctuate the bezel, bracelet links, and hour markers. The meticulous gem-setting enhances the Nautilus’ iconic octagonal silhouette, ensuring that every facet plays with the light while preserving the watch’s elegant proportions.

Inside, the self-winding caliber 26-330 S keeps time, offering a 45-hour power reserve. With a price tag of £544,950, this is less of a watch and more of a wearable work of art, proving that even a sports watch can be the ultimate flex.

Closing out Patek Philippe’s Watches and Wonders 2025 showcase, we shift from high-jewellery extravagance to something more understated—though no less luxurious. The Nautilus Ladies’ Quartz 7010G and 7010/1G bring a refreshing new azure-blue lacquered dial to the collection, proving that sport-chic elegance is alive and well in the world of high horology.

Housed in 32mm white gold cases, these latest Ladies’ Nautilus models carry on a legacy that began in 1980 when Patek first introduced a quartz-powered Nautilus for women. This year’s iteration embraces the maritime inspiration of the collection with a dial featuring an oceanic wave pattern, framed by 46 brilliant-cut diamonds. White gold applied numerals and luminescent-coated hands ensure legibility, even if this watch is more suited to the Riviera than a deep-sea dive.

Buyers have two options: the 7010G-013, which comes on an azure-blue composite strap for a sportier aesthetic (£36,230), or the 7010/1G, featuring a matching white gold bracelet for a seamless, all-metal look (£51,370). Inside both models beats the ultra-reliable Quartz E 23-250 S C calibre, keeping the display elegantly simple with hours, minutes, central seconds, and a discreet date window at 3 o’clock.

For those who love the Nautilus but prefer something more compact, these latest releases offer the perfect fusion of sporty practicality and refined luxury, proving once again why the Ladies’ Nautilus remains a Patek Philippe bestseller.
