That Patek Philippe, you know, that fancy watch, they made a new one. It’s called Calatrava 6119G-001, and it’s real pretty. I seen pictures of it. It’s all shiny and new, they say it is a remake, whatever that means. I reckon it just means they took the old one and made it better, like when you remake some old dress.
This here new watch, it’s for them fancy folks, not for the likes of us. It’s sold in them specialty stores, not the kind of store we go to. They say it’s made of white gold, 39mm. That’s some rich people stuff. They say it is 2023 new style, I don’t know, my old watch works fine.
They got this pattern on it, like little nails all lined up. They call it “Clous de Paris,” sounds French to me. Looks kinda like them quilts my grandma used to make, all them little squares. I reckon it’s real hard to make, probably why it costs so much. Not that I know how much, but you just know it’s a lot, you know? Like more than we’d spend on a new tractor. More than my old house maybe.
- Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G, that’s what they call it.
- It’s got that nail pattern, Clous de Paris.
- It’s made of white gold.
- It’s 39mm, they say.
- It’s for rich folks.
I seen some prices online, good lord! One was like, $26,000, another was $28,000. Can you believe that? For a watch! I mean, I like a nice watch as much as the next person, but that’s just crazy. They say “free shipping” though. Well, I should hope so! For that price, they better be hand-delivering it on a golden pillow!
They say this Patek Philippe Calatrava is special. They call it “emblematic.” I don’t know about all that, but it sure is shiny. They made the new one a little bigger than the old one. I guess folks like bigger watches now. Times change, I reckon. Even for them fancy watch people. They call that old one “Calatrava Ref”, maybe that is a name of some kind of old watch.
This Calatrava 6119 price is too high, I think. We work hard for our money, and we spend it on things we need. A watch that costs more than a car? That ain’t a need, that’s just showing off. But hey, if you got the money, I guess you can spend it however you want. It’s a free country, right? But that is too much money. I can buy many many cows by that money.
They say it’s a luxury watch. Well, I reckon so! Most folks I know, we don’t need a luxury watch to tell the time. We got clocks, and we got the sun. And if we really need to know the time, we can just ask someone. No need to spend all that money. But I can see that watch is real pretty. They make it real good. Just not for me, not for my money.
This new Patek Philippe 6119G-001, it’s something else. It’s like them fancy cars you see on TV, all shiny and new. You know they’re expensive just by looking at them. You know they ain’t for regular folks like us. But, it’s nice to look at, I guess. Like a picture in a magazine. You can admire it, but you know it ain’t something you’re gonna have. I think many young people want one, I don’t know why.
They say it’s “out of stock” sometimes. That means they ain’t got any more to sell. I guess even rich folks gotta wait sometimes. Maybe that’s a good thing. Makes them appreciate it more when they finally get it. Or maybe it just makes them want it even more. I don’t know. Rich folks are different. It’s like they live in a whole different world, with their special stores and their remake Patek Philippe, their Clous de Paris watches.
Well, that’s all I know about that fancy watch. It’s pretty, it’s expensive, and it ain’t for me. I’m happy with my old watch. It tells the time just fine. And it don’t cost more than my whole house! I reckon that’s all that really matters in the end. You don’t need a fancy watch to be happy. You just need good friends, good family, and a good life. And maybe a good old watch that works just fine. If you want a Patek Philippe 6119G-001, you need to go to that specialty store.
