That Patek Philippe, I heard people say, is some kind of real fancy watch. They say it’s called, what is it… Calatrava? Remake Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226G-001, that’s the name. My goodness, it sounds like a mouthful. Sounds like somethin’ you’d order at a fancy restaurant, not somethin’ you’d put on your wrist.
They say it’s like, $40,000. Can you believe it? $40,000 for a watch! You could buy a whole lot of other stuff with that kind of money. A new tractor, maybe even a small piece of land, but not where I live. Prices are just crazy now.
This Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226G-001, they say it’s hard to get. Like, you can’t just walk into a store and buy it. Oh, no, it’s not that easy. Some folks are sayin’ you gotta wait, maybe 8 years! 8 years for a watch, 12 months for the Calatrava! It’s like waitin’ for rain in a drought. The wait time is long. What the heck. I don’t even know what I’ll be doin’ next year, let alone in 8 years! All because the watch is hard to get.
And this thing, it’s got some fancy name… Caliber 26-330 S C. What’s that mean? Sounds like some kinda secret code. This Patek, it winds itself. You don’t gotta do nothin’. Just wear it, and it keeps on tickin’. That’s kinda neat, I guess. But still, $40,000? My old watch, you gotta wind it every day, but it only cost me a couple of bucks. And it tells the time just fine.
I seen pictures of this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226G-001 watch. It’s gray, they say. Charcoal gray. Like the color of the ashes after you burn wood in the stove. It’s got a texture, they say. I don’t know, I only saw it in the picture. But it don’t look like much to me. Just a plain old watch. What is the big deal about it?
Some folks, they say these Patek Philippe watches are a good investment. Like, you buy ’em now, and they’re worth more later. They say that this one, the Calatrava, and some others, they’re good ones to get. Like those other ones, the… the Nautilus and the Aquanaut. I don’t know nothin’ about them. But I guess if you got money to burn, maybe it’s a good idea. I mean, I rather save it in the bank, or just buy some stuff I need.
- Patek Philippe Calatrava is some kind of fancy watch.
- You gotta wait 12 months for this watch.
- The price is $40,000.
- It is a good investment.
This other one, the Nautilus 5711/1A, they say it’s real popular. And that Aquanaut 5167/1A-001, too. People want ’em bad. They say the price just keeps goin’ up and up. I guess if you’re into that kinda thing, it’s like a gold mine. But me? I’d rather have a real gold mine! Then I wouldn’t have to worry about no fancy watches.
They say this Nautilus, the one that’s made of steel, it’s the hardest one to get. Patek Philippe Nautilus self-winding 5711 in steel. Some folks are sayin’ you gotta wait 10 years for it! 10 years! That’s a long time to wait for anything, let alone a watch. I mean, what if you don’t even like it after 10 years? Then what? I sure hope it’s worth it if people wait that long.
They say this Nautilus is a sports watch. A sports watch! What, you gonna play football with it on your wrist? Seems kinda silly to me. I guess rich folks got different ideas about sports than I do. I am just confused. They also said it’s made of steel or rose gold. What is rose gold?
This whole Patek Philippe thing, it’s just a big mystery to me. All that money, all that waitin’, for a watch. I guess if you’re into that kinda stuff, it’s somethin’ special. But me, I’m happy with my old watch. It tells the time, and that’s all I need. This Remake Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226G-001 Purchasing thing, it’s just not for me. Maybe it’s for you. I don’t know. But it sure is somethin’ to talk about, ain’t it?
They say this Calatrava is the heartbeat of Patek. I don’t know what’s that mean. Like, the most important one? The one that keeps the whole thing goin’? I guess so. If you’re into these fancy watches, maybe that’s somethin’ you care about. But me, as long as it tells time, I don’t care what its heartbeat is.
New collector can’t buy a Patek Philippe because there is nothing available. That is just crazy. If you can’t buy it then what is the point? I don’t understand why people are willing to wait that long.
But hey, to each their own, I reckon. If you want a Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226G-001, and you’re willin’ to wait, then more power to ya. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you’re still waitin’ 8 years later! I’ll be sittin’ here, with my old watch, tellin’ the time just fine.
