Cubitas is Patek Philippe's first new collection in 25 years.
The square design, which the company's president Philippe Stern describes as a "cousin of the Nautilus," has been met with mixed reviews, but for Patek Philippe enthusiasts, it is likely one of the most intriguing models at the moment.
Among the star actors who earn hundreds of millions of yen for each movie they appear in, there are some who seem to have been among the first to get their hands on Cubitas and are now using it regularly.
"Actor's Watch" focuses on the watches worn by actors in movies and TV. In this 201st issue, we will introduce the stars and celebrities who were among the first to get their hands on a Patek Philippe Cubitas.
Mark Wahlberg

First up is Mark Wahlberg, a Hollywood actor who has already been introduced in this column and is a collector of luxury watches.
#43 Mark Wahlberg's "Extremely Rare" Watch
He is well known for owning many extremely rare watches from Patek Philippe and Rolex, such as a Green Nautilus (Ref. 5711-1300A-001) with baguette diamonds set in the bezel and a Daytona Rainbow (Ref. 116595RBOW) in Everose gold, so I thought, "He must have got it," and after doing some research, I was right!
Mark Wahlberg got the stainless steel model Cubitas Olive Green Soleil dial (Ref. 5821/1A-001). He wears it casually with a white T-shirt.
Shah Rukh Khan

The last person we will introduce is Shah Rukh Khan, a Bollywood star known as the "Emperor of Indian Cinema." He has starred in numerous blockbuster Indian films since the 1990s, and is said to have a total net worth of 73 billion rupees (approximately 124 billion yen), so much so that not a day goes by without seeing him as a TV presenter.
Shah Rukh Khan is also known to be a big fan of luxury watches, and with a quick search online you can find him wearing many rare pieces from Patek Philippe, Richard Mille, and Audemars Piguet.
When he hosted an event in Dubai, he wore a Cubitas Blue Soleil dial (Ref. 5822P-001). This highly practical multi-functional model features a platinum case and Cal. 240 PS CI J LU movement with a big date, day of the week display, moon phase, and small seconds. The fabric strap accentuates the casual look.
Orlando Bloom

Next up is Orlando Bloom, a watch enthusiast and actor who we have also introduced in this column.
#98 [Actually a watch enthusiast] Orlando Bloom's favorite watch
In addition to the Patek Philippe Nautilus, Orlando Bloom has the impression of collecting any watch he likes, regardless of brand or price range, from premium and rare vintage watches to easily obtainable commercial models, including Rolex MilSubs, Panerai, and IWCs, so we did some research and were able to find the photo right away.
He is wearing the same Cubitas Olive Green Sunset dial (Ref. 5821/1A-001) as Mark Wahlberg. By the way, next to him is Zach Lu, a young Patek Philippe collector. He is wearing what appears to be a Cubitas Blue Sunset dial (Ref. 5822P-001).
summary
What did you think?
The first to get their hands on the Patek Philippe Cubitas were popular actors such as Mark Wahlberg and Orlando Bloom, who have long been known to be fans of luxury watches. Even though they are stars, their interest in new models seems to be just as strong as that of ordinary people.
While researching the movie actors who own Cubitas, we also discovered stars and celebrities from other industries wearing the watch, so we would like to report on those as well.
■ Former Swedish national soccer team player. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who played as an ace striker for Inter Milan, FC Barcelona, AC Milan, and other teams, retired in 2023.
■Rapper Jay-Z has been nominated for the Grammy Awards 88 times and has won 24 times, and is described as "the richest musician in the history of the American music industry."
■Mark Zuckerberg, the developer and CEO of the social networking site Facebook, has a total net worth of approximately $200 billion.
Of course, they are all rich celebrities who are making a lot of money, just like the others.
As a Patek Philippe VIP, he is likely given priority in purchasing.
At the moment, it is extremely difficult for the general public to purchase Cubitas at official stores, but Commit Ginza has already handled the brand. However, since these are popular items, they often sell out immediately after they arrive, so if you really want one, we recommend that you add Commit Ginza to your friends list on "New Arrivals LINE."
