Marking the debut of its first new watch collection in 25 years, Patek Philippe introduces the Cubitus Instantaneous Grand Date, Day & Moon Phases (Ref. 5822P-001) - part of the ground-breaking Cubitus collection unveiled last year at the end of 2024.
This luxurious timepiece merges Swiss watchmaking precision with a bold contemporary design, featuring a square-shaped platinum case with rounded corners, a blue sunburst dial with horizontal embossing, and a navy-blue composite strap.
Innovative Watch Movement & Unparalleled Precision
At the heart of the Cubitus Instantaneous Grand Date is the newly developed Calibre 240 PS CI J LU, an ultra-thin self-winding movement composed of 353 intricately crafted parts.
Engineered with six patented innovations, this mechanism enhances the legendary Calibre 240 with an instantaneous-jump feature, ensuring the grand date, day, and moon phase indicators change simultaneously within just 18 milliseconds.
Precision and Craftsmanship
Like all of Patek Philippe’s timepieces, the new Cubitus collection is no exception. The grand date, prominently displayed at 12 o’clock in a bevelled frame, is complemented by a luxurious dual co-axial day and moon phase at 7 o’clock and an asymmetric small seconds at 4:30.
White-gold applied baton markers and luminescent hands ensure legibility, while the platinum case (45mm, 9.6mm thick) showcases a mix of satin-brushed and polished finishes, with a signature baguette-cut diamond at 6 o’clock.
Exceptional Craftsmanship & Technical Excellence
Staying true to Patek Philippe’s legacy, the Cubitus collection upholds the highest standards of craftsmanship, including the Cubitus Instantaneous Grand Date:
- The grand date display at 12 o’clock , housed in a bevelled frame, takes centre stage.
- A dual co-axial day and moon phase indicator at 7 o’clock adds to the watch’s elegant symmetry.
- An asymmetrical small seconds sub dial at 4:30 enhances the design.
- White-gold baton hour markers and luminescent hands ensure legibility.
- The 45mm platinum case (9.6mm thick) features a mix of satin-brushed and polished finishes , with a signature baguette-cut diamond at 6 o’clock.
Underneath, the timepiece houses a 22K gold off-centre mini-rotor, ensuring exceptional accuracy (-1/+2 seconds per 24 hours) in line with the Patek Philippe Seal.
The moon phase complication is so precise it deviates by just one day every 122 years, another incredible feat from Patek Philippe. Three discreet push-piece correctors allow effortless date, day, and moon phase adjustments.
