This Patek Philippe, what a fancy name! Remake Patek Philippe PP Calatrava 5227R-001 for them specialty stores, they say. Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it? But I guess them rich folks like their fancy watches.
So, this here watch, this Calatrava 5227R-001. They say it’s 39 mm big. That’s about, uh, the size of… I don’t know, a big ol’ button? And 9.24 mm thick. That ain’t too thick, I suppose. Like a stack of a few coins, maybe. They make a big fuss about it being “water-resistant.” Means you can get it wet, I guess, up to 30 meters. Who’s gonna go that deep with a fancy watch anyway? Not me, that’s for sure. I just wash my hands, that’s it.
And the back of it, you can see through it! They call it “sapphire crystal.” Sounds like somethin’ a princess would wear. And it’s got a cover, like a little door, but you can’t even see the hinges. Pretty sneaky, huh? Like a hidden pocket in your Sunday best.
Now, this part gets real complicated. They say it’s got a “hand-wound Cal. 30-255.” What in tarnation is that? Sounds like some kinda engine. 27 jewels, they say. Jewels! Must be why it’s so pricey. And it’s 30.4 mm wide and 2.55 mm thick. Tiny little thing, ain’t it? And this “28,800 vph,” beats that fast, whatever that means. They say it’s a power reserve, it lasts 66 hours. This fancy thing got so many numbers, makes my head spin like a top!
They keep going on about another thing, “caliber 324 S C.” Another one of them engine things, I reckon. This one beats at 28,800 vph too, and it’s made of 217 parts. 217! Can you imagine puttin’ somethin’ that small together with that many pieces? My fingers would be all thumbs. I can barely thread a needle these days.
And get this – they say this watch, this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227R, costs $41,710! Can you believe that? You could buy a whole house for that kind of money! Or a whole herd of cows! And then they say it sells for $29, that is some different. Must be some kinda special sale for them rich folks.
They talk about a hinge, an “inner hinge” that you can’t see. And the gold, 18k rose gold, they call it. Sounds like somethin’ out of a fairy tale. And the dial, the face of the watch, is ivory-colored. Like old piano keys, I suppose. Pretty, I guess, if you like that sort of thing.
This Patek Philippe got a “self-winding caliber 324 movement.” I guess that means you don’t have to wind it yourself. It winds itself up just by you movin’ around. Kinda like magic, ain’t it? It is also “rhodium plated” and “fausses cotes embellishment”, like a beautiful dress. This little engine is so beautiful, it got 29 jewels and a “shock absorber mechanism”. I guess that’s important if you’re rough on your things, like me.

It’s a lot of fuss, if you ask me. But I guess if you got the money, and you like fancy things, then this is the watch for you. It is a good remake for them specialty stores.
You can find these Patek Philippe 5227 in many stores. They got top brands, big sales, I do not know the detail. They say you can get it fast and return it easy. But who would return somethin’ that costs more than a house?
Well, that’s all I know about this Patek Philippe PP Calatrava 5227R-001. It’s a real doozy, ain’t it? I still don’t understand half of what they’re talkin’ about with all their fancy words.
