Well, let me tell ya, I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout this here Patek Philippe thing. Sounds fancy, don’t it? They say it’s a watch, but not just any old watch. This one’s called a Calatrava 6119G-001, and let me tell you, the price tag on this thing is somethin’ else. I heard it’s, like, more than what some folks make in a whole year. It got a quote too, ain’t that somethin’?
Now, I don’t know much ’bout these fancy things, but I heard ’em sayin’ this Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G-001 is made outta somethin’ called “white gold.” White gold! Imagine that. Regular gold ain’t good enough, I guess. They make these in 2023, and some say 2024. Brand new, shiny, never been worn, they say. And they say each one got its own papers, original box, just like some fancy dog with a pedigree.
They talk ’bout it bein’ 39mm. I don’t know what that means exactly, but I reckon it’s the size of the darn thing. And get this, it ain’t got no batteries! You gotta wind it up yourself. They call it “manual winding”. Like in the old days. My grandpappy used to have a pocket watch he had to wind. This Patek Philippe thing probably ain’t too different, just a whole lot pricier, I bet.
There’s this other number they keep throwin’ around, 6119G-001. I reckon that’s like its name, its special code or somethin’. Every one of these fancy watches got that same number. And they say it’s got a “full set.” Now, I don’t know what all that includes. Maybe a tiny screwdriver to wind it or somethin’? Who knows. But they sure do make a big fuss ’bout it bein’ a “full set.”
- White gold, they say!
- 39mm, whatever that means.
- Gotta wind it up yourself.
- Every one of ’em is 6119G-001.
- Comes with a “full set,” whatever that is.
I heard ’em sayin’ there’s a little clock inside the big clock. They call it a “sub-dial” at 6 o’clock. Like a tiny clock inside the big one. Why they need two clocks, I don’t know. But they make a big deal about it. They say it is Patek Philippe caliber 30-255 PS. Sounds like a car engine, don’t it? And beats some 28,800 vph, whatever that is. They say it’s made of 164 parts. 164! Can you imagine that many little pieces in somethin’ so small? My old sewing machine don’t even have that many parts! It is complicated, ain’t it?
Someone said they saw it on their wrist, this Patek Philippe Calatrava. Said they couldn’t stop lookin’ at it. Said it was “majestic.” I don’t know ’bout all that. Maybe it’s real pretty, I reckon. But for that kinda money, it better be more than just pretty. It better tell you when to plant your corn and when the cows are gonna calve, I tell ya what!
Now, they say there’s a “retail price” and a “market price.” Sounds like the stock market or somethin’. I don’t understand all that. But I reckon it means you can buy it for one price in the store, and another price somewhere else. Maybe like buyin’ a used tractor. You gotta shop around, I guess, even for these fancy Patek Philippe watches.
They have a showroom somewhere. I reckon it’s like a car dealership, but for watches. Can you imagine? A whole place just for showin’ off these fancy watches. They said this one they saw had a “grey dial.” So it ain’t even shiny gold, it’s grey! For all that money, you’d think it’d be all shiny and sparkly.
Some folks are crazy about this remake Patek Philippe PP Calatrava 6119G-001. They are willin’ to pay a lot of money for it. I don’t know, I guess if you got that kinda money to throw around, why not? But for me, I’d rather spend it on somethin’ useful. Like a new roof for the barn or a good milk cow. Or put money to my grandkids. That’s just me, though.
Anyway, that’s all I heard ’bout this Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G-001 thing. Sounds like a whole lot of fuss over a watch, if you ask me. But hey, to each their own, right? If you want a fancy watch made of white gold that you gotta wind yourself, and you got the money to burn, then go for it. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you can’t afford to fix your tractor, you hear?
