This here thing, this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226G-001, you hear? It’s a fancy, real fancy, remake Patek Philippe, that’s what folks say. They say it’s a new one, but looks old-timey. It is like some kinda remake thing, costs more than my old truck, that’s for sure! I saw it on some website once. A lot of money for that thing. They call it a “quote,” I reckon, ’cause that’s how much it is. It is not cheap, I tell ya.
Now, this here watch, it ain’t for everyday. It is not for when you feedin’ chickens or whatnot. No sir! You don’t wear this kinda watch when you’re sloppin’ the hogs or tendin’ to your taters. This is a go-to-meetin’ watch, a special occasion watch. It is a “Calatrava.” I don’t know what that means exactly, but it sounds fancy. Sounds like somethin’ rich folks would say. It’s a Patek Philippe, and everyone knows that name means money.
They got these numbers on it, 5226G-001. I reckon that’s important. Some folks, they get all worked up over these numbers. I don’t know why. A watch is a watch, far as I’m concerned. But this one, it’s different. It’s got this white gold, they say. White gold! Imagine that. More fancy stuff. White gold is real nice, but it is not for me. I don’t need a watch like that, no sir.
This watch, it’s s’posed to be perfect. That’s what they say. “Perfection.” They look at old watches, see how they was made, and try to make this one just as good. It’s like when I make my apple pie. I use my grandma’s recipe. Try to make it just like she did. Same idea, I reckon, but with a watch. It is like some old thing, but it is new. It is confusing!
I seen the price of this thing. Lord have mercy! It was some big number. Forty thousand dollars, or somethin’ like that. $40,495 to be exact. I had to write that down, so I can tell folks. Forty thousand dollars for a watch! Can you believe that? Some folks have that much money, I guess, but not me. I could buy a whole new barn for that kinda money! It is a lot of money. Maybe, it is too much money. But, I don’t know about those things. Rich folks have their ways.
- This watch, it’s a Patek Philippe.
- It’s called a Calatrava.
- The number is 5226G-001.
- It’s made of white gold.
- It costs a whole heap of money!
- It’s a remake of some old Patek Philippe, I think.
Some folks, they say this watch is worth it. They say it’s a good “investment.” Like buyin’ land, I suppose. But I don’t know. Seems like a lot of money to spend on somethin’ that just tells time. My old watch does that just fine. And it only cost me a few dollars. But this Patek Philippe Calatrava, it’s a status symbol. That’s what they call it. It is a symbol. It means you got money. A lot of money. I don’t need no symbol, myself. I am happy with what I got.
If you want one of these watches, you gotta wait. A long time. They say it can take years. Eight years, maybe! Can you imagine waitin’ eight years for a watch? I’d forget I even ordered it by then! I reckon folks who buy these watches got nothin’ better to do with their time. Or their money. They can wait for that long time. They must really want that remake Patek Philippe.
This Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226G-001, it’s a fancy watch. No doubt about it. It’s for folks with money to burn. It’s a remake, a new watch that looks old. It’s got white gold and a big price tag. It’s a status symbol. If you got the money and the time, maybe it’s for you. But me, I’m stickin’ with my old watch. It tells time just fine. And it didn’t cost me a fortune. No sir, that remake Patek Philippe is not for me. It is too fancy. I don’t need that kinda fancy in my life.
I reckon if you want somethin’ fancy, somethin’ to show off, this here Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226G-001 might be the ticket. But, if you’re like me, just need somethin’ to tell the time, somethin’ simple and reliable, then maybe you ought to look elsewhere. This remake thing is not for everyone. Just somethin’ to think about, I suppose. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my chickens. They don’t care nothin’ about fancy watches. They just want their feed. And that’s just fine by me. That is all I have to say about that thing. That remake Patek Philippe. It is a lot of talk about a watch.
