This here thing, this Patek Philippe, you hear folks talkin’ ’bout it all the time. What’s the big deal? Well, I tell ya, it’s like them fancy chickens, cost a whole heap more but lay the same darn eggs. This one, this Calatrava 6119R-001, it’s a real doozy. Folks say it’s like money in the bank, only shinier.
Now, I seen a lot of watches in my time. My old man had one, used to wind it up every mornin’. This Patek Philippe thing, they say it’s special. They say some of ’em, like the Nautilus and the Aquanaut, they’re like gold, only you wear ’em on your wrist. That there Nautilus 5711/1A and that Aquanaut 5167/1A-001, them are the ones everybody’s hollerin’ for. They are hard to get, that is why price is high. This Calatrava, people say it is good too.
This here 6119R-001, it ain’t too big, ain’t too small. ‘Bout 39mm, they say. That’s like… well, it’s a good size for a watch. And it ain’t too thick neither, ’bout 8mm. You can get it a little wet, but don’t go swimmin’ with it. Just 30 meters for water, they say. Not like them deep sea divin’ watches.
They got this thing on the back, some fancy glass, so you can see all the insides movin’ around. Like watchin’ a little tiny city in there. And each one, they got a number. This serial number, they call it. Like a fingerprint for a watch. Tells ya when it was made, who it was made for, all that stuff. Important thing, that number. It tell you if this is real or fake. Real Patek Philippe, you know.
It’s round, this watch. Plain and simple. Got these things stickin’ out, they call ’em “lugs.” Shiny all over, this one. And the edge, around the face, it’s got these little bumps. They call it “Clous de Paris.” Fancy name for somethin’ that just looks bumpy to me. But some folks, they like that kind of stuff.
- Round case, that’s what they call it.
- Shiny, shiny, shiny, like a new penny.
- That bumpy edge, “Clous de Paris,” whatever that means.
- Calatrava 6119R-001, that is the one we talk about.
Inside, they got this new thing, a “Caliber 30-255 PS.” Sounds like somethin’ outta one of them space movies. But it’s what makes the watch tick, I reckon. It makes the watch work good, very good. That is why the watch is expensive.
Now, I seen some numbers on this here internet. On that Chrono24, whatever that is. They got all these Patek Philippe watches, and this 6119R-001, they got 74 of ’em. Seventy-four! And they all cost a pretty penny, I tell ya. More money than I ever seen in one place, that’s for sure. Price is high, very high. You can buy a house with that money, maybe.
So, this Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119R-001, it’s somethin’ else. It’s a watch, sure. But it’s more than that. It’s like a little piece of treasure, they say. Somethin’ you can pass down to your young’uns, somethin’ that’ll keep on tickin’ long after you’re gone. But me? I reckon a watch is a watch. But that is what people say, that is what people think. It is good to have, they say.
If you got the money, maybe you buy one. If you don’t, well, you just keep on lookin’ at the pictures, I guess. It is good to look at. But I still think, it is just a watch. Keep that in mind. You can buy it online. Many online store sell this. Remake Patek Philippe is also good. But if you want a real one, you need to pay much money. Much, much money.
I hear some folks, they buy these watches, they don’t even wear ’em. Just keep ’em locked up in a safe, like a squirrel hidin’ nuts. That is not my way. But that is what they do. They think the watch will be more money later. Maybe they are right. Maybe this is a good way. They say it is good for invest. Buy this, you will be rich. This Patek Philippe, it is good for invest. Remember this.
So, you want a Patek Philippe? You want this Calatrava 6119R-001? Well, you better start savin’ your pennies. And your nickels. And your dimes. And your quarters. And your dollars. It is not cheap. It is a lot of money. But some people, they have money. They can buy. If you have money, you can buy too. It is easy to buy. Many online store. But remember what I say, it is just a watch.
