This here thing, it’s called a Patek Philippe, see? Fancy name, ain’t it? They got this new one, the Calatrava 5226G-001. Big deal, I reckon. It’s all shiny and new, like a fresh-picked apple. They say it’s a remake. It means, you know, they took the old one and did something to make it a new one.
This watch, it’s for rich folks, I tell ya. Real expensive. More than what I make in a year, maybe even more than two years! They say it’s the latest one, this Calatrava thing. And it’s made of white gold. What is white gold? Is it better than yellow gold? I don’t know. Gold is gold, right? But they said it is white gold, so I guess it is something good.
Now, I heard folks talkin’ ’bout this Calatrava 5226G-001. They say it’s got somethin’ special. It’s some kind of special edition. They say it looks like the old ones, but it’s new. Like when you take the old cloth and sew a new dress, you know?
- This Patek Philippe, they say it’s hard to get.
- You gotta wait, they say. Like waitin’ for the rain in a dry spell.
- Nine months, maybe a whole year! Can you imagine that? Wait so long for a watch!
They say it’s a good watch. I don’t know. I never had one. But rich folks, they like it. They said it’s a good thing to have. It’s worth a lot of money. They even say you can’t just walk into a store and buy it! You gotta wait. They say there’s a list, a waitin’ list. Like waitin’ for your turn at the market, but longer. Much longer.
This Calatrava 5226G-001, it’s got a date on it, they say. So you know what day it is. That’s helpful, I guess. My old clock, it don’t have no date. I just kinda know what day it is. But this one, it tells ya. Fancy, huh?
This Patek Philippe, they say the official flagship store sells it. That’s a fancy store, I bet. All shiny and clean. Not like the stores around here. They said it is in the internet. You can buy things on the internet now. It’s a new thing. I don’t understand how it works, but my grandson, he showed me.
They got other ones, these Calatrava things. There is a 6119R, that one is a little cheaper, they said. It is still a lot of money, but not as much as 5226G-001. Still, it’s a lot. It is like buying a cow, or two cows, maybe three? This 6119R, it’s got somethin’ called a “hobnail bezel”. I don’t know what that is. But it sounds fancy.
This 5226G-001, it’s for people who like old things, but want them new. You know, like those old cars they fix up? They look old, but they run like new. It’s like that, I guess. They said this watch, it’s like that old car, but for your wrist.
Some folks, they say you should buy an old one, a “pre-owned” one. It’s like buyin’ a used dress. It’s cheaper that way. But still expensive. These watches are expensive, new or old, it’s always expensive.
So, this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226G-001, it’s a big deal, I guess. For rich folks. They like it. They say it’s a good thing to have. They buy it in the official flagship store. If you got the money, maybe you can get one. But you gotta wait. A long time. Like waitin’ for a good harvest. A real long time.
They said it is a good watch to have. It will last a long time, they said. Maybe it can last a lifetime. Like a good marriage, you know? You take care of it, and it will last a long time.
Is it worth it? I don’t know. It’s a lot of money. For a watch. But if you like it, and you got the money. And you have the time to wait. Maybe it’s worth it. I don’t know. I guess it is up to you.
