Alright, let’s gab about this here…uh…Patek Phili…Philly-something watch, the 6007G-011. Don’t rightly know how to say it all fancy, but it’s a watch, and a pricey one at that.
Now, I saw some folks talkin’ ‘bout findin’ it cheaper, like on that Chrono-thingy, number 24. Said you could get it for, hold on, thirty thousand dollars! Lordy, that’s more money than I ever seen in my life! And they even throw in the shippin’ for free. Guess that makes it a bargain, huh?
- It’s a big ol’ watch, they say 40 somethin’ millimeters.
- Made of white gold, which sounds fancy.
- Got a black face with all sorts of shapes on it, kinda like my quiltin’ patterns, but neater.
This here watch, it’s what they call a “dress watch.” Means it’s for fancy folks wearin’ fancy clothes. They been makin’ these “Calatrava” watches since way back when, 1932, they say. Even before I was born, and that’s sayin’ somethin’! They got this special shape, been around since 1839. Heck, that’s practically ancient! That’s longer than old man Jenkins has been alive, and he’s the oldest fella in town.
Now, if you want one of these shiny time-tellers, and you got the money, it ain’t too hard to get. They say the gold ones are easier to come by. But listen to this, it’ll set you back forty-two thousand dollars, maybe more! And you still gotta wait a few months! Can you believe that? Waitin’ and payin’ that much for somethin’ that just tells you the time! My old rooster does that for free, and he’s never late. Although sometimes he crows a little early, but hey, nobody’s perfect.
I heard tell this “Calatrava” name comes from some knights way back when. Christian fellas, fightin’ and such. Guess they were important, just like this watch is supposed to be. But I reckon those knights didn’t pay no forty-two thousand dollars for their shiny things.
So, this Patek whatever-you-call-it, the 6007G-011, it’s a fancy watch for fancy people with lots of money. White gold, black face, lots of shapes, and a big price tag. Me? I’ll stick with my old kitchen clock. It’s got a picture of a rooster on it and it ticks just fine. And it didn’t cost me no fortune, that’s for sure. This watch business is somethin’ else, I tell ya. Too much money for my blood.
Anyways, if you’re lookin’ to buy a Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G-011, you probably ain’t readin’ this anyhow. You’d be off with them city slickers and their fancy shops. But if you stumbled on this here talk, well, now you know a little somethin’ about a watch that costs more than a good piece of land. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll think twice before spendin’ all that money on somethin’ you can just as easily find out by lookin’ at the sun.
But who am I to judge? If you got the money and that’s what makes you happy, go on and get yourself that Patek Philippe watch. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you lose it in the chicken coop. ‘Cause that happened to old man Johnson once with his fancy pocket watch, and it wasn’t pretty.
Now, I gotta go feed them chickens. They’re probably wonderin’ why I’m not out there already. Watches or no watches, chores gotta get done, and them chickens don’t care about fancy timepieces. They just want their food, and that’s the truth.
So, in a nutshell, this Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G-011 is a pricey, fancy watch. That’s about all there is to it. You either got the money to throw around or you don’t. Me, I’ll stick with my rooster and my old clock. They ain’t fancy, but they’re reliable, and that’s more than I can say for some things in this world.
