This Patek Philippe, that Calatrava 6007G-010, it’s a real fancy thing. They call it classic style. My old man, he had a pocket watch, nothin’ like this, but it told time just the same. This one, they say it’s for them rich folks, you know, the ones with all that money to throw around. I saw it in a magazine. They are remaking it you know? I don’t know why they need to remake, the old one are good enough. It looks like it’s made of gold, maybe. Shiny, at least.
They say it’s a remake. Like they took the old one and made it new again. I guess that’s what the fancy folks do. They said there are other colors like yellow is 6007G-001, and sky blue is 6007G-011. Red one is good looking. I don’t know about the price, it must be a lot of money. I think they are for rich people.
Now, this watch, it’s got a face, they call it a dial. Black, they say. And numbers, all around it. And hands, to point at the numbers. Seems simple enough. But they make a big fuss over it. They said this is a very classic watch and they are replacing them with the new one. I don’t understand why. They look the same to me. Maybe the new one are more fancy? I don’t know.
My neighbor, she’s got a fancy watch, too. Not this one, though. She says it cost more than my whole house. Can you believe that? A watch! For telling time! We just look at the sun, mostly. Or the rooster crows, you know it’s morning.
This Patek Philippe, they say it’s special. Made with care, they say. Like how I make my apple pie, with the best apples from the tree out back. Except they use gold and jewels and such. And tiny little parts, all working together. I guess that’s why it costs so much.
They say some folks, they collect these watches. Like stamps, or those little porcelain dolls. They keep ’em in boxes, all nice and neat. Never even wear ’em, some of ’em. Just look at ’em. That’s like baking a cake and not eating it! What a waste.
This Calatrava 6007G-010, it’s got a number on it, too. They also have the yellow one 6007G-001 and the sky blue one 6007G-011. Like a secret code. They say it tells you what kind of watch it is. And another number, for which one it is, like, the first one made, or the second one, or the hundredth. Like counting sheep, I guess.
If you got the money, I suppose this watch is alright. It’s pretty, I’ll give it that. And they say it’ll last a long time. Longer than me, probably! But me, I’d rather have a new cow. Or a good strong fence for the garden. Something useful, you know?
They talk about this watch like it’s a person. Got a name, a number, a whole story. They said that this Patek Philippe Calatrava is a good investment. I don’t know about that. A watch is a watch. Maybe these rich people just want to show off. I saw that a lot of them wear very casual outfit, but they wear this watch.
- Patek Philippe, that’s the name, fancy name.
- Calatrava 6007G-010, that’s the watch, red one.
- 6007G-001, this is the yellow one.
- 6007G-011, this is the sky blue one.
- Black dial, they say, that’s the face.
- Numbers and hands, for telling time, of course.
- Gold and jewels, that’s what makes it shiny.
- Lots of money, that’s what it costs.
- Collectors, them’s the folks who buy ’em and don’t wear ’em.
But hey, if you like it, and you got the money, who am I to say no? It’s your money. Just don’t come crying to me when you need a new roof and all you got is a fancy watch. A classic style watch won’t keep the rain out, that’s for sure. That remake one also won’t. This Patek Philippe won’t help you plow a field, neither. This Calatrava 6007G-010 is just a watch, when it comes down to it. Even if it is a very expensive one. The yellow 6007G-001 and the sky blue 6007G-011 are the same. Just a watch.
I heard that they are making this watch to celebrate something. I don’t know what that is. Maybe some rich people’s party. I think that normal people like me won’t buy it. It is not practical. Who will wear a watch that is so expensive in daily life? They will be scared to break it. This classic style is not for everyone. Maybe this remake one is better than the old one. But I still think that this Patek Philippe Calatrava is too much.
