That Patek Philippe, you know, the fancy watch. They say it’s good, like, you buy it, and it’s worth more later. This one, Calatrava 5227R-001, it’s a real looker. My neighbor’s grandson, he’s always on that internet thing, he told me all about it. He said it’s a classic style. That’s just a word they use for old fashioned, but nice.
They got others, too. What’s that name? Naughty-lus? And Aqua-something. Sounds like fish to me. But this Calatrava, that’s the one I heard about. This one, the 5227R-001, it’s a pretty one. Rose gold, they call it. Looks like a penny, but shiny new.
This here Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227R-001, they say it’s good for keepin’. Like, you keep it, it’s gonna be worth more than what you paid. Like puttin’ money in the mattress, but fancier. These folks, they know what they’re doin’ with these watches. Been doin’ it for years and years. Longer than I been alive, I reckon!
- It is 39mm, that is the size of the watch face, not too big, not too small.
- That’s what that neighbor’s boy said, anyway.
- And 9.24 mm thick. Not too chunky.
Now, they got all these numbers for ’em, like that 5711 something, and 5167 somethin’ else. Don’t ask me what they mean. Just know that those are the good ones, people want them. It’s like those old-timey pocket watches. They used to wind ’em up, remember? These ain’t like that, they are automatic. Just move your hand and it works. Fancy, huh?
They put a Calatrava on the back, they say it’s a cover. To keep the dust out, I suppose. My old clock, it got dust in it all the time. Had to clean it out with a feather duster. This one, you don’t gotta do that. They got it all covered up nice and tight. You can still see the inside parts, the cogs and all that. It’s like a little magic trick.
These Calatravas, they made a whole bunch of ’em. All different kinds. Some are old, real old. Like them old cars, they get more valuable the older they get. Same with these watches. If you got an old one, you might be sittin’ on a gold mine! Well, not really gold, but you know what I mean.
And this Patek Philippe, they made this Calatrava 5227R-001, just a little bigger than the old ones, is what I heard. Just a smidge. Still looks the same, though. That same classic style, plain and simple, but pretty. Like a Sunday dress, you know? Not too flashy, but just right.
Some folks, they go to these fancy stores, just to look at ’em. They call ’em boo-teeks. Sounds French to me. I ain’t never been to one of them. But I heard they got all these Patek Philippe watches there, all lined up, shinin’ under the lights. Must be a sight to see. They try them on, see how it looks on their wrist. I bet it looks good on just about anybody. Even me.
Now this one I’m talkin’ about, the Calatrava 5227R-001, it’s 18 karat gold. That’s the good stuff. Not that fake gold. This is the real deal. And they been makin’ watches for, shoot, over a hundred years. They know what they’re doin’, that’s for sure. Just like my old pie recipe, been makin’ it for years, it always comes out right.
- This watch, it’s simple, not a lot of fancy stuff on it.
- Just tells the time, nice and clear.
- That’s all you need, really.
- It’s made good, though.
- Last a long time, this one.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a good watch, this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227R-001, that’s the one to get. It’s a classic, they say. It is a Patek Philippe, so it is gonna cost you, but it is worth it. It’s like buyin’ a little piece of history. And it’s pretty, too. Can’t go wrong with that. And it is gonna keep good time. Better than that old rooster we used to have!
They put jewels in them, too, did you know that? Not like the ones on a ring, but special ones, for the inside. Makes it run smooth. That’s what that boy told me, anyway. He said 27 jewels in that Cal. 30-255, and it is tiny. And it can run for 66 hours. That is almost three days! He said that is power reserve, how long it can run.
You know, now that I’m thinkin’ about it, maybe I should get me one of these Patek Philippe Calatrava watches. That 5227R-001, that’s the one. It’s a good investment, and it sure is pretty. And maybe when I’m gone, my grandkids can have it. It’ll be worth somethin’, that’s for sure. Yep, that’s what I’ll do. I’ll get me a Patek Philippe Calatrava, that classic style.
