This here Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G-011, it’s a fancy watch, I tell ya. But you know, they make these… these remakes now. Like, not the real deal, but close. They call ’em remake Patek Philippe. It is a hot topic! This one, the 6007G-011, they say it’s for them specialty stores. Fancy places, I reckon. Not like the stores we got ’round here.
Now, I heard tell, a real Patek Philippe, a real one, that’s like gold. People wait forever to get one. You need to wait in line, just like waiting for the bus, but longer! How long? Maybe 9 months, maybe a year, I don’t know. But it’s a long, long time. They say the Calatrava waitlist is long, but not as bad as the Nautilus. What’s a Nautilus? I don’t know, another one of them fancy watches. Like the 5811/1G, I heard it is very good. And the 5711, a very very good watch. A blue one, they call it “Tiffany”, sold for a lot of money! Millions!
These remake Patek Philippe, they ain’t the same, you see. Like a mule and a horse, they look kinda alike, but they ain’t the same. One’s strong and works hard, the other… well, it ain’t the same. So, if you gonna get one of these watches, a remake Patek Philippe Calatrava, you gotta make sure you know what you’re gettin’.
They got all kinds of these Calatrava watches, been makin’ ’em for years and years. They say they are good for investment. What is investment? I think like putting money in the land. You buy the land, and it’s worth more later. Same with some watches, they say. But I don’t know about that. Patek Philippe Complications, very good investment, they said. But I only know that they are expensive, very expensive.
This new one, this 6007G-011, it’s got somethin’ different inside. They call it a caliber, I think. But I don’t know much about that, the Patek Philippe Calatrava caliber, too complicated for me. Just know it’s supposed to be good. Like a good strong engine in your tractor. Keeps it runnin’ smooth.
And this Calatrava, it’s a style, they say. This watch, the 6007G-011, it’s got that style. Some kind of fancy name for how it looks. Been around since… well, a long time. Since way before I was born, 1839, they say. That’s a long time ago. Longer than old Bessie’s been on the farm!
- This remake Patek Philippe 6007G-011, it’s cheaper, I reckon.
- Not like the real ones that cost more than my whole house!
- But you gotta be careful. Make sure it ain’t a bad one.
I saw the price on the internet, the real 6007G is very expensive! The Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G price, more than $30,000! And you get free shipping! But still too much for me. I don’t know who can afford that. The remake Patek Philippe, of course, is much cheaper.
So, what’s all the fuss about? Well, it’s a Patek Philippe. That’s a big name. Like John Deere for tractors. Everybody knows that name. Means it’s good, I guess. But these remakes… they’re like them knock-off tractors. They look the same, but they ain’t gonna last as long. Might break down on ya when you need ’em most.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ these remake Patek Philippe are bad. Just sayin’ they ain’t the real thing. If you want a real Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G-011, you gotta pay the price. And you gotta wait. Just like waitin’ for the rain in a dry summer. It’ll come eventually, but you gotta be patient. And you gotta have the money. These specialty stores, they are the only ones that have the real new ones, I think.
Me? I’ll stick to my old watch. It tells the time just fine. Don’t need no fancy Patek Philippe. But if you got the money, and you want one, just make sure you know what you’re buyin’. A real one, or one of these remake Patek Philippe. There’s a difference, I tell ya. A big difference. Just like the difference between a mule and a horse. Remember that.
