This here Patek Philippe, they call it Calatrava 6119G-001, it’s a real fancy thing. Some folks say it’s for them special stores. Seen it in a picture, all shiny and new. I heard that’s a good watch. Heard it costs a pretty penny, too. Not like the ones I used to see.
They say this one, this Patek Philippe Calatrava, is worth a lot. But worth it for what? To tell the time? My old clock does that just fine. But these rich folks, they like these shiny things, I reckon.
- This watch, it’s small, 39mm. Sounds small to me, my old eyes can barely see that.
- They say the wait for this watch is long, like waiting for a cow to calve. Some say a year, some say 8 years!
- They put a special number on it, 6119. Don’t know what that means, though. Just numbers.
They got other fancy names for their watches, like this “Nautilus” and “Aquanaut”. Sounds like something from them deep sea movies. This Calatrava, though, they say it’s a good one. A classic, they call it. Like an old, sturdy mule. Reliable.
They say this new Calatrava 6119G-001 is updated. Like they took the old one and made it new again. Gave it a new look. But why mess with something that’s already good? That’s what I say.
Some folks like to wear these fancy watches every day. But me, I’d be scared to scratch it. Or lose it. It’s like wearing your Sunday best to work in the field. Just don’t make sense.
Now, this Patek Philippe Calatrava, they say it’s a good investment. Like buying land. But land, you can grow things on it. What you gonna grow on a watch? Time? Ha!
This new model, they gave it a new number, 6119G-001. I reckon the G stands for gold. That’s what I’m guessing, anyways. I heard gold is expensive. That’s why they call it a luxury watch, they say. They put these tiny little decorations on it, like little hobnails, they call it “Clous de Paris”. I don’t know what that means, but it sounds fancy.
- They say it’s a “status symbol”. Means it shows you got money, I guess.
- Some people wait a long time for these watches, like waiting for the rain in a drought.
- They say it’s made real good, with lots of care. Like a handmade quilt.
But honestly, I don’t know much about these things. Just what I hear folks say. I wouldn’t buy one, that’s for sure. Too much money for something that just tells time. But I guess if you got money to burn, why not?
These rich folks, they like to show off their money. That’s what these watches are for, I think. To show off. This Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G-001, it’s like the king of them show-off watches.
I seen a picture of this watch on someone’s wrist. They said it felt “majestic”. Like a king’s crown, I reckon. Shiny and important. But a watch is a watch, that’s what I say.
They keep saying this Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G-001 is special. Made for them specialty stores. Like it’s some kind of rare vegetable or something. But a watch is a watch, no matter where you buy it.
- Some folks say they’re worth it.
- Some folks say they’re not.
- Me? I just don’t know.
I guess it depends on what you like. If you like fancy things, maybe you’ll like this watch. If you’re like me, and you just need something to tell time, then maybe not. They say it’s a personal decision. Like choosing between apple pie and peach cobbler. Both good, just different.
I heard some of those Patek Philippe watches can be good investments. Like that Nautilus one, or the Aquanaut. And this Calatrava, too. They say they hold their value, or even go up in price. That’s good if you need to sell it later, I guess. Like selling a prize-winning hog at the county fair. You hope you get more than you paid for it.
This Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G-001, though. It’s a pretty thing, I’ll give it that. But is it worth all that money? I just don’t know. It’s a mystery to me, like how they get them little gears to work inside that tiny thing. A real mystery.
