This here, this Patek Philippe thing, that Calatrava 5227G-010, they say it’s somethin’ else. Price, my goodness! They say it is a Remake, I don’t know what that means but I know it is expensive. What’s the price? That’s the big question, right? Some folks got money to burn, I reckon. They throw it around like it’s nothin’. Me? I wouldn’t know what to do with that kind of money.
They got this fancy name, Calatrava. Sounds like some kinda magic spell to me. But it’s just a watch, right? A real fancy one, but still just tells the time. And this one, this 5227G-010, they say it’s special. Well, I guess if you’re payin’ that much, it better be special. It is White Gold, I don’t know if it is real gold, but they say so. And it has a black strap, they said it’s alligator, oh, I don’t like that.
Folks say it has some 324 S C thing inside. And 29 jewels! Can you believe that? 29 jewels in a watch! And 213 parts! It’s like they took a whole bunch of tiny little things and crammed ’em all in there. And it goes tick-tock real fast, 28800 times, I don’t know what that means. Faster than my old clock, that’s for sure.
- Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227G-010
- Automatic movement, whatever that means
- Lots of jewels, 29 they say
- White Gold, they say it’s fancy
- Black alligator strap
This Calatrava, it’s like a king or somethin’. They got a cross, a Calatrava Cross, they call it. Red, with those pointy things on the end. Looks kinda like a flower, but not really. They say it’s from some knights, from a long time ago. Back when they had castles and all that. 1157, they say. That’s a long time ago. Older than dirt, I reckon.
And this here Patek Philippe, they say it’s the best. The best in the whole wide world. Finest, they say. Connoisseurs, those fancy folks who know about these things, they all say it. Each one, made real good, supposed to last forever. And the design, they say it never gets old. Like my old quilt, I guess. Still good after all these years.
Now, some folks, they buy these watches not to tell time, but as an investment. Like puttin’ your money in the bank, but fancier. They say certain ones, like this Nautilus, Aquanaut, and this Calatrava, they go up in price. Like a good piece of land, gettin’ more valuable every year. This one, this Nautilus 5711/1A and the Aquanaut 5167/1A-001. Those are the money makers, they say. If you can get your hands on one, you’re sittin’ pretty.
1932, that’s when they first made this Calatrava thing. Reference 96, they called it. That’s even older than me! Can you believe it? They been makin’ these things for a long time. Longer than I been alive, that’s for sure. It’s amazing, but I prefer my old watch.
They say this 5227G-010 is the latest one. Newest one they got. Like a fresh egg from the hen, I guess. But more expensive. A whole lot more expensive. I can’t imagine payin’ that much for a watch, but some folks do.
So, this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227G-010, it’s somethin’, ain’t it? Fancy, expensive, and all that. But me? I’ll stick to my old watch. It tells the time just fine. And it ain’t cost me an arm and a leg.
Retail price, market price, they say all these things. Numbers flyin’ around, big numbers. Makes my head spin. I just know it’s a lot. More than I’ll ever see in my lifetime, that’s for sure. But hey, if you got the money, and you want a fancy watch, then I guess this is the one for you.
