You see, that Patek Philippe, it’s a fancy name, ain’t it? I heard folks talkin’ ’bout it, sayin’ it’s a good watch. This one, they call it Calatrava 5227G-010. Sounds like a mouthful, right? But I tell ya, if you wanna buy one of these, I can tell you all about it. Just found it in some online store.
These Patek Philippe Calatrava watches, they ain’t cheap. No sir! Some fella told me they go for, like, $21,000! Can you believe it? And some even more, up to $115,000! For a watch! Lord have mercy. But if you got the money, honey, they say it’s worth it. The online store has a lot of them, all look the same to me. They got free overnight shipping. I reckon that’s somethin’, at least.
This 5227G-010, it’s special, they say. It’s got somethin’ called a “Calatrava”. I don’t know what that means, but it sounds important, don’t it? They say it’s simple. I guess simple can be good sometimes. That’s what I always say, keep it simple, stupid!
Now, this here watch, it’s got all these little doohickeys inside. They call it “movement”. This one’s got a number, 324 S C. And 29 jewels! Jewels in a watch! Imagine that. And 213 parts! That’s a lot of tiny things in there. And it goes tick-tock real fast, 28800 times in an hour. My old clock don’t even tick that fast. This Patek Philippe Calatrava must be somethin’ to see.
- 29 jewels
- 213 parts
- Tick-tock 28800 times an hour
This Calatrava 5227G-010, it’s all pretty and shiny, I reckon. They say it’s “elegant”. I guess that means it looks nice. It’s got these pointy things on the front, for the hours, and the hands, they point to the time. Looks simple enough to read, even for an old gal like me. But I still don’t know how it can cost so much money.
You can buy ’em and sell ’em, these Patek Philippe Calatrava watches. I saw a whole bunch of ’em online, on that there Chrono24 place. Some folks sellin’ ’em for $25,000, some for $18,000, even some for $8,000. It’s a crazy world, ain’t it? I heard that you can even give them some money every month, like renting a house. They call it financing.
I saw this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227G-010 at a place called Alan Furman. I reckon he’s a fancy fella. They say you gotta call him to find out the price. Like it’s some big secret or somethin’. It is kind of mysterious.
This watch, it ain’t too thick. Only 3.3 mm. That’s thinner than my old pancakes! And like I said, 212 parts in there. It’s a wonder how they get all that stuff in such a little thing. They must have tiny little hands to put it all together.
If you’re lookin’ for a Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227G-010, this online store, you can find a lot. They all look pretty much the same to me, shiny and gold, some black. But they say each one’s special. I guess if you got the money to spend, you can get yourself one of these fancy watches.
But me? I’ll stick to my old clock. It might not have 29 jewels, and it might not be a Patek Philippe, but it tells the time just fine. And that’s all that matters to me. But hey, if you’re into these fancy things, that Calatrava 5227G-010 seems like the one to get. You can buy it in some online store. It is not cheap, but very good quality, I think.
That is all I know. That Patek Philippe, it is something else.
