This Patek Philippe, you know, that Calatrava 6119R-001, it’s somethin’ else. See, folks talk about these fancy watches, and this one, it’s a real doozy. They say it’s a remake, like they took an old one and made it new again. Sounds like a good idea to me, why waste a good thing, right? This 6119R, it’s for them fancy specialty stores. Not somethin’ you just find at the five-and-dime, no sir.
Now, I heard some folks sayin’ you gotta wait forever to get one of these Patek Philippe watches. Like, eight years for some kind, called a “Nautilus” or somethin’. Eight years! I could knit a whole blanket in that time! This Calatrava, though, maybe it ain’t so long. Maybe just a year or so. Still, a year’s a long time to wait for a watch, ain’t it? I’d rather buy a new cow for that.
They say this here watch is an “investment.” Well, I reckon that depends on what you got to invest. If you’re rollin’ in dough, maybe it’s a good idea. But for most folks, it’s just a fancy thing you wear on your wrist. And a mighty expensive one, at that! Some folks is all about that “luxury”. Me, I’d be scared to wear somethin’ so pricey. I’d be too worried about bangin’ it on the fence post or gettin’ it dirty in the garden.
I saw a price for one of these Calatrava things, and my eyes near popped outta my head. Over $32,000! Can you believe it? For a watch! You could buy a whole herd of goats for that kind of money! It is made of 18K rose gold, though. Patek Philippe Calatrava, it’s a name that gets thrown around a lot when you are talkin’ about good watches.
- That price, though… $32,000!
- 18K rose gold. Fancy!
- Calatrava 6119R, that’s the name.
This here Calatrava 6119R-001, it’s got some fancy stuff inside. “Manual winding” they call it. Means you gotta wind it up yourself, I reckon. No batteries in this one. And somethin’ about a “power reserve.” Means it keeps tickin’ for a long time, even when you ain’t wearin’ it. 65 hours, they say. That’s almost three whole days. Ain’t that somethin’?
And this watch, it’s got a special pattern on it. They call it “Clous de Paris.” Sounds French to me. Must be somethin’ fancy. It means it is a Luxury Watch. It’s like a bunch of little tiny bumps all over. Probably makes it look real pretty, I suppose. They say it’s a bigger watch, too. Bigger than the old ones, at least. Guess folks like big watches these days. The Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119r is really popular.
So, this Patek Philippe Calatrava, it’s a real fancy watch. It’s for the specialty stores, the ones where they sell all them expensive things. You gotta wait a while to get one, and it costs more than a new tractor. But it’s got all kinds of fancy stuff inside, and a pretty pattern on the outside. If you like that sort of thing, maybe it’s worth it. Me, I think I’ll stick to my old Timex. It tells the time just fine, and I ain’t gotta worry about scratchin’ it up. These Patek Philippe Watches are too much for me!
But, you know, different strokes for different folks, as they say. Some people like fancy watches, and some people like plain ones. It is a good watch, and it is popular, you know. Some people, they like to show off what they got. And this Patek Philippe, it’s somethin’ to show off, all right. Just make sure you got somethin’ left over to put food on the table, that’s what I always say!
These watches ain’t for me, but some folks sure do love them. If you got the money to spend and you are lookin’ for a luxury watch, then these are sure nice. But I’d rather spend my money on somethin’ a little more practical, you know? Like a new chicken coop or somethin’. You can’t wear a chicken coop on your wrist, but it’ll give you fresh eggs every mornin’. And that’s worth more than any fancy watch, if you ask me.
You know what else? That Nautilus 5980, they are not makin’ them anymore. It is the end of an era, like those old-timey movies. They had a favorite one, the 5980/1R, and another one, the 5980/1AR, but they are not makin’ those either. People really like those. So if you see one, it is probably worth a lot of money!
