Cubitus Instantaneous Grand Date 45mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 45 mm case suggests

Patek Philippe Cubitus Instantaneous Grand Date 45mm measures 49.5 mm lug-to-lug on a 45 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.10 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 79% of the 7,421 watches in this database and longer than 84% of the 79 Patek Philippe watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 55 mm (2.17 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 66 mm (2.60 in) it starts to look compact. Below 49.5 mm (1.95 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.

At 9.6 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 88% of the watches with a listed thickness.
