New releases from Patek Philippe, Raymond Weil, Frederique Constant and more

Pietro Pilla

This week Patek Philippe caused quite a stir in the watch industry. By now you’ll be familiar with what the new collection looks like, but have a look below to discover the main aspects if you’re not. For some strange reason, these past seven days have been extremely crowded with new releases and, despite including many more than the usual amount we had to leave some watches out… I just hope we didn’t leave out anything essential! Dive into our selection and let us know what your favourite is (or if there are any brands we missed that we should include next time). Enjoy reading!

Patek Philippe Cubitus

The Cubitus collection, Patek’s first new watch collection in 25 years, has been officially released, with three models making up this initial launch.
The collection launches with two time and date models in steel and two-tone as well as one instantaneous grand date with day and moonphase in platinum.
