Ey, this Patek Philippe, whatcha call it, Calatrava 5226G-001, it’s somethin’ else. I seen it in that online store, you know. They say it’s a remake, whatever that means. It’s all shiny and new, though, that’s for sure.
That Fancy Calatrava 5226G-001
This watch, it ain’t cheap, no sir. Costs more than my whole house, I reckon! But folks who know ’bout these things, they say it’s worth it. They call it an “investment.” Like plantin’ seeds, but instead of taters, you get more money later, maybe. This Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226G-001 is some kinda investment, they say.
It’s got this white gold, whatever that is. Looks like silver to me, but shinier. And it’s got all them little gears and things inside. You can’t see ’em, but they’re there, tickin’ away. This online store has pictures, and it’s all so tiny. How they get them little things in there, I don’t know.
- This watch is 40 mm big, round like a dinner plate, but smaller.
- It’s not too thick, though, only 8.53 mm. Skinny like a young’un.
- They call it “self-winding.” Means you don’t gotta wind it up like them old clocks.
- Got hours, minutes, and seconds. All them hands movin’ around.
Is it worth it? That Patek Philippe?
They say this Calatrava 5226G-001, it’s a good one to have. Like them old quilts your grandma used to make. They get more valuable with time, or so they say. Not sure if I believe it, but that’s what they say about this watch, too.
It’s a “status symbol,” they call it. Means if you wear it, people think you got money. Like wearin’ your Sunday best every day. But I don’t know, seems like a lot of fuss for a watch. This remake Patek Philippe is just a watch after all. Or maybe not?
Now, my old man, he had a pocket watch. Kept it on a chain. Never told time right, that thing. But he loved it. This Patek Philippe Calatrava, it’s probably a lot fancier than that old thing. Keeps time better, I bet. And it is sold in the online store. I saw it there with my own eyes.
Waitin’ for a Watch
They say you gotta wait for these watches. Like waitin’ for rain in a drought. Could be years, they say. Eight years! Can you imagine? Eight years for a watch! For some other Patek Philippe, not this one. This remake one, I don’t know how long. They don’t say in the online store.
I guess if you got the money, and you want somethin’ fancy, this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226G-001 might be for you. It’s pretty, I’ll give it that. And they say it’s made real good. “Exquisite craftsmanship,” they call it. Sounds like somethin’ my grandma would say about her quilts.
This remake Patek Philippe is the new one from the collection, I think. The latest one. But there are other ones. They are all fancy. They are all expensive.
More about that 5226G-001
It says here in this online store that it got a “Caliber 26-330 S C”. Sounds like a car engine. Probably what makes it tick so good. It’s what makes them hands go round and round, I reckon.
This watch, it’s like a little piece of art, I guess. But it’s art you wear on your wrist. Not like them pictures you hang on the wall. This one, you carry it with you. Show it off, I suppose. If you’re into that sort of thing. This Patek Philippe is really a show-off thing.
Me, I’m happy with my old clock on the wall. Tells time just fine. Don’t need no fancy watch to tell me what time it is. But this remake Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226G-001 sure looks nice in the pictures.
If you want one you better hurry up. Go to the online store. They always say these things go fast. Like hotcakes at the church social. Gone before you know it. And then you gotta wait. And wait. And wait. Maybe for years. Just for a watch.
But hey, if it makes you happy, then I guess it’s worth it. Just like buyin’ a new dress for a special occasion. Makes you feel good. Even if it’s just for a little while. And this watch, this Patek Philippe Calatrava, I bet it makes some folks feel real good. Real good indeed. Even if it does cost more than my whole house!
Maybe I will ask my son to buy one for me in that online store. He has money now. He can buy me this remake Patek Philippe.
