That day, my son come back and say he wants a Patek Philippe. What is Patek Philippe? He say it’s a watch. A watch? What watch cost so much money! I ask him, and he show me this PP Grand Complications 5236P-001. He say this one is good. I say, why you want this? He say it can tell what day it is, and what month. It even know if this year got extra day in February. I say, you silly boy, you need a watch to tell you that? Just look at the calendar!
But, he keep saying he want it. He say it’s the best replica. What’s replica? He say it look just like the real one. And he says it called original order. I don’t know what that means, but he says it’s good. He keep talking about the Perpetual Calendar. I say, what’s that? He say it always know the date. I don’t believe it. How can a watch know the date? He say it just do.
He keep saying Patek 5236p-001, Patek 5236p-001. I don’t know what that mean. He say it’s the name of the watch. I look at the picture he show me. It got a blue face. He call it a dial. It’s shiny, I give him that. The strap is blue, too. He say it’s made of alligator. Poor alligator!
This Patek Philippe Grand Complications is a big deal, he say. I say, what’s so grand about it? He say it’s very special. It’s made of something call platinum. He say it heavy. And it’s 41.3mm, he say. I don’t know what that means, but he say it’s a good size for a watch. He just keep talking about it. He talk about how it winds itself. He call it self-winding. I say, well, that’s something, I guess. No need to wind it up like those old clocks.
- He say it got numbers, but not all of them.
- He say it can go in water, but not too deep. 30 meters, he say.
- He say it got a clear back, so you can see the inside.
I don’t know about this Patek Philippe Grand Complications. He say there’s four little wheels inside that show the day and date. He say it’s very hard to make. I guess that’s why it’s so expensive. I still think he crazy, but he’s a good boy. He works hard. If he want this Patek 5236p-001 so bad, maybe I help him a little. This replica thing, it is cheaper, right?
This original order thing, I still don’t understand. But he say it means it’s made like the real one. I ask him if it tell time good. He say, of course, it’s a Patek Philippe! So, I guess that mean it tell time good. I tell him, as long as it tell time, that’s all that matter. He just smile and say, “It’s more than just a watch, Ma.” I don’t know what that means.
He keep saying it got this Caliber 31-260 PS QL. He say that’s the engine of the watch. He say it’s a good engine. I don’t know anything about watch engines. But if he say it’s good, then it’s good, I guess. He say this watch is special. This Patek Philippe Grand Complications 5236P-001. He say it’s the best replica. Best original order.
He show me a picture again. The blue is pretty, I have to admit. It look fancy. He say this watch will last a long time. He say he can give it to his son one day. I say, well, that’s good. You better take care of it then. It cost a lot of money, even if it is a replica. This Patek 5236p-001, it better be worth it.
I still don’t know much about this Patek Philippe Grand Complications. But my son, he really want it. He say it’s his dream watch. I don’t understand it, but I love my son. So, maybe I help him get his Patek 5236p-001. Even if it is a replica. Even if it is this original order thing. As long as he’s happy. That’s all that matters.
He keeps saying this is a good deal, this replica. He said he saw it somewhere and they ship it fast and it is safe. I don’t know, that sounds dangerous to me, buying stuff from far away. But he said he checked it out, this place is okay. I hope he is right. These Patek Philippe Grand Complications, they are a lot of money, even for a replica. I tell him, be careful. He said don’t worry. He knows what he’s doing. This Patek 5236p-001, it is the one he wants.
He says that this blue on this watch is nice and it is a new watch. He said it is from the year 2024. That is this year. So, this replica thing, it is the same as the new ones that are real. He keeps saying Perpetual Calendar. That must be important. I don’t know what he means by “minimal energy consumption.” Does the watch need to eat? I ask him, does it need batteries? He laughs. No, Ma, it doesn’t need batteries. This Patek 5236p-001, it is special, remember? It winds itself.
