I heard someone talk about that watch, that Patek Philippe, they say it’s good. What’s the number? 5227J-001, yeah, that’s it. That’s a lot of numbers and letters. This watch, it’s real fancy, I guess. They say it’s a Calatrava. Sounds like some kinda food. Anyway, I saw a picture of it. It’s kinda pretty, I guess.
That Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227J-001, it’s all gold color. Yellow gold, they call it. Shiny like my old pot, but probably worth more, huh? It’s round, like a pancake. They say it’s 39 mm. What’s that? Millimeters? Must be small. But folks seem to like it.
They say it got a cream color face. Like that cream I used to put on my face. Makes it look old, but in a good way, I guess. Like an antique. This Patek Philippe quote, they say it’s high. Must be, for all that gold.
This watch, it got a strap. Not gold, though. They say it’s alligator. Imagine that! A real alligator! Brown, like the mud down by the creek. They say it’s fancy. I don’t know about that. Alligator skin on your wrist? Seems strange to me. But rich folks like strange things, I reckon.
This Calatrava 5227J, it tells the time, of course. But it also tells the date. And it got that second hand that goes round and round. Sweep seconds, they call it. Sounds important, I guess. I’d ask how much for the Patek Philippe 5227J-001, but I guess I’d better not.
- This Patek Philippe, it’s been around a while, I hear.
- They made lots of them.
- Different kinds.
- But this Calatrava, it’s special, they say.
Back in 1932, they made one. Reference 96, I think they said. That’s a long time ago. Longer than I been alive. This Stern family, they own it now. They made the dials, the face of the watch. Now they own the whole darn thing. That Patek Philippe Calatrava Reference 96, must be worth a fortune now.
This watch, it winds itself. You don’t gotta do nothing. Just wear it. That’s kinda nice, I guess. No more winding like that old clock we used to have. It is real luxury.
They say this Calatrava, it’s the best of the round watches. Like a perfect circle. And it’s a symbol of that Patek Philippe. Must be important, then. They say it’s elegant. That means fancy, right? Very fancy. Too fancy for me, I reckon. I don’t need such a fancy thing to tell me the time.
I seen a lot of watches in my day. Cheap ones, mostly. But this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227J-001, it’s different. It’s like those fancy cars the rich folks drive. All shiny and expensive. Not for folks like me. We just need something that works. Something that tells the time. Don’t need no gold and alligator skin.
But I guess some folks like that. They like to show off. Show how much money they got. This watch, it’s a way to do that, I suppose. A way to say, “Look at me, I got a Patek Philippe.” And that Calatrava name, that makes it even fancier, I guess.
That cream color, it does look kinda nice, though. And that brown strap, it’s kinda pretty. But still. Alligator skin? I just can’t get over that. Seems like a waste of a good alligator. But what do I know? I’m just a simple person. Don’t know nothing about fancy watches and rich folks’ things. That’s a real craftsmanship.
That Patek Philippe price, I bet it’s a lot. More than I make in a year, probably. Maybe more than I made in my whole life! It’s crazy, ain’t it? All that money for a watch. But like I said, rich folks like to spend their money on things like that. Things that show how rich they are. I heard they would like to remake it.
- This Patek Philippe, it’s a mystery to me.
- Why it’s so expensive.
- Why folks want it so bad.
- But it’s their money, I guess.
- They can spend it how they want.
I’ll just stick to my old watch. The one I got from the five and dime. It tells the time just fine. Don’t need no gold. Don’t need no alligator. Just need it to work. And it does. That’s all that matters to me. This Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227J-001 quote, though, must be through the roof. Too rich for my blood, that’s for sure.
