You know, that Patek Philippe, they make some fancy watches. I heard folks talkin’ ’bout this one, the Calatrava 5227R-001. They say it’s somethin’ special, for them fancy stores. They remake it, a new one, just like the old ones, but maybe better, I don’t know.
This Patek Philippe Calatrava, it’s got a shiny gold case, rose gold they call it. Sounds like a flower to me. Must be pretty, I reckon. It’s not too big, not too small, just right for a man’s wrist, or maybe even a lady who likes big watches. They say it’s 39 mm, whatever that means. And thin, too, like 9.24 mm. All these numbers, they just confuse me. But it got a cover, like a old pocket watch. Keep the dust out, I guess.
They talk about the inside, the movement, like it’s a tiny little engine. This one’s got a number too, Cal. 30-255. They say it’s hand-wound, means you gotta wind it up yourself. No batteries in this one, nope. It also has 27 jewels, all inside, I suppose. Shines pretty, I bet. The diameter is 30.4mm and it is 2.55mm thick. I don’t know what they are but the watch expert says these things are good. They also say it’s got some kinda special balance, called a Gyromax. Fancy word, huh? And that it can go for more than 66 hours before you gotta wind it up again. These rich folks, they sure like their fancy watches.
- Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227R-001, that’s the name.
- Rose gold case, that’s what they call it.
- 39 mm wide, not too big, not too small.
- Hand-wound, gotta wind it yourself.
- Lots of jewels inside, 27 of ’em.
I seen some numbers on the internet. These Patek Philippe Calatrava watches, they ain’t cheap. One place called Chrono-something, they got ’em for sale. They say you can find a Patek Philippe ref. 5227R-001 for like $32,100! Can you believe that? That’s more money than I ever seen in my whole life! But I guess if you got the money, you can buy whatever you want, even a Patek Philippe watch.
They say it’s automatic, this other one they talk about, the Caliber 324. Means it winds itself, I reckon. More jewels in that one, 29 they say. And a shock absorber, like a car. Must be pretty tough, for a little watch.
They call it a luxury watch. Well, I guess so! It’s made of gold, and it’s got all them jewels, and it costs more than a house! It’s elegant, they say, and versatile. Means you can wear it all the time, even when you’re dressed up fancy. This Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227R-001 is for every day wear. I guess rich folks wear a different watch every day of the week.
They say it’s a staple, this watch. Means it’s somethin’ you gotta have, like bread and butter. Well, I don’t know about that. I think I’d rather have a good loaf of bread than a fancy watch. But then again, I ain’t never had a Patek Philippe on my wrist. Maybe it’d change my mind. This Patek Philippe Calatrava is good for collection. I think I will just collect some good memories.
This Calatrava 5227R-001, it is somethin’, ain’t it? All that gold, and them jewels, and that fancy name, Patek Philippe. It’s a whole ‘nother world, that’s for sure. A world of luxury watches and big money. A world that old me will never know.
Well, that’s all I know about that Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227R-001. It’s a fancy watch, for fancy folks. And maybe, just maybe, it’s worth all that money. But I’ll stick to my old watch, the one my grandpa gave me. It don’t tell time no more, but it’s got more memories in it than any old Patek Philippe ever could. This is a good watch for rich people, anyway, it is too expensive.
