Well, let me tell you, I saw this shiny thing the other day. It’s called a Patek Philippe, whatever that means. This one, it’s a Calatrava 5088/100P-001. Fancy name for a watch, ain’t it? They say it is an original order. I don’t know what is the original order, maybe it means it is the best, I guess.
This here Patek Philippe 5088/100P-001, they say it’s a big deal. It has some number on it, 5088/100P-001. It costs a heap of money. I heard someone say it costs more than a house! Can you believe that? Some folks say it’s about $105,820, but you can get it for less, maybe $85,044, if you buy it from some other place. Not from the fancy store, you know. This price is crazy, right?
And you know what is more? If you buy from another place, you need to pay more than the used one. Maybe 6% more, it is not cheap anyway. But this Patek Philippe is not an old one, it is a new one. They are still making it. It is the 2024 new one. It is new!

This watch, it’s got a special number. They call it a serial number. It’s like the watch’s name, but with numbers. Every watch has its own number, and it tells you when it was made and all that. Important stuff if you’re buying one of these expensive things. You gotta make sure it’s the real deal, not some fake. This number can tell you everything about the watch, when it was made, is it a real one, and everything.
I saw this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5088/100P-001, the new one from 2024. It’s black and shiny. Black dial, they call it. And it’s made of something called platinum. Must be real fancy. It’s not too big, 38 mm. That’s what they said, 38 mm.
There’s a place called FCT, and they have this watch. They call it “Calatrava Volutes And Arabesques”. Sounds like something from a movie, don’t it? And they say it’s a Black Enamel Dial. Must be special. It looks good, but I don’t know what is this for.
This Patek Philippe Calatrava, you can find it for a lot of money. Like 86,814 euros. What’s a euro, anyway? Must be a lot of dollars. This one is a “Calatrava Handengraved”. They do something to it by hand. Must take a long time. It is very expensive, for sure.
You can find these watches on something called Chrono24. They have 22 of these Patek Philippe 5088/100P-001 watches. You can compare them and buy one. If you have that kind of money, that is. I can’t understand why people need this watch. But if you want to buy one, you can go to Chrono24 to find it.
This Patek Philippe Calatrava is 38mm and it’s made of platinum. It’s got some fancy movement inside, they call it “ultra-thin self-winding mechanical movement”. Sounds complicated. Means it winds itself, I guess. You don’t have to do anything, the watch just works itself. It is amazing, right?
This watch, it’s 38 mm wide and 8.3 mm thick. They say it has a “sapphire-crystal back”. Sounds tough. And the dial, the face of the watch, is handengraved with black enamel. That’s a lot of work for a little watch. And this fancy movement, it can go for 48 hours without stopping. That’s two whole days! The power reserve is 48 hours, it is very long.
So, this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5088/100P-001, it’s a real fancy watch. Costs a fortune. But it’s got all these special things, like the serial number, the platinum, the handengraved dial, and that self-winding thing. It’s something, ain’t it? It is too expensive, but it is good stuff, I guess.
If you want one, you better start saving. Or maybe win the lottery. Cause this watch, it’s not just a watch. It’s a Patek Philippe. And that means it’s special. Or so they say. Only rich people can buy it. But if you have enough money, you can buy it, too.
