You know, I heard folks talkin’ ’bout this here Patek Philippe thing. Sounds fancy, huh? They call it the Calatrava 5226G-001. Like we’re supposed to know what that means. Well, I looked it up, and let me tell ya, it’s somethin’. It is a kind of watch. You can find it in the official shop, if you want to pay much money, you can go there to buy one. But, there are many remake ones in the market. They looks same as the real one, but price is much lower.
This Patek Philippe Calatrava, it’s a watch. A real fancy one. Costs more than my old cow did, that’s for sure! They say it’s like, $41,000 or somethin’. Can you believe that? For a watch! But some folks, they say you can get ’em for less, like $35,000 or so, if you buy it from someone who already owned it. Makes ya wonder, don’t it?
I have seen some guys wear this watch. They said they bought them from the official flagship store. I do not know what is a flagship store. But it seems like a big shop for rich man.
They say this watch, it’s special. Made with white gold, whatever that is. Must be expensive, huh? And it’s got this thing called a “caliber” somethin’. Caliber 26-330 S C, they call it. I guess that means you can see what time it is. They also said it is automatic. I think it means it can move by itself. Like, it winds itself. That is a new word for me. Maybe rich people has many new words.
They talk about it like it’s some kinda investment. Like buyin’ land or somethin’. They say the price, it goes up. Guess rich folks like to buy these things, huh? So they can buy it with low price and sell it with a higher price. I do not know why they need so much money, but they just like do it.
Now, they got these numbers on ’em, too. Two kinds of numbers. One’s a “reference” number, and the other’s a “serial” number. Like a secret code or somethin’. The reference number, it tells ya what kinda watch it is. And the serial number, well, that’s just for that one watch. No two alike, they say. And the first reference number is 96. I do not understand why they need so many numbers. Life is hard, why they make it more harder?
They say this Calatrava, it’s a big deal for Patek Philippe. Like it’s their baby or somethin’. They’re real proud of it. It’s supposed to be real elegant, whatever that means. Some new design. Guess they’re tryin’ to make it look all new and fancy. Rich people always buy new things. They do not like the old one.
They got all these features, too. Hours, minutes, somethin’ called “center seconds.” All those things just to tell the time. But I think you can get all those features with a 5 dollars watch too. But, I do not know about the center second. Maybe it is important.
- White gold case, 40 mm, that is big.
- Automatic, they say, that means you can wear it and do not need to worry about the battery.
- Costs a lot of money. Like, a lot.
- Has two numbers, a secret code.
- Elegant. Whatever that is, but I think it is a good word.
Well, there ya have it. That’s what I learned about this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226G-001. Sounds like a lot of fuss over a watch, if ya ask me. But hey, what do I know? I’m just sayin’, it’s a whole lot of money for somethin’ that tells time.
If you want to find a remake one, you need to find a good shop. There are many bad shops, they will sell you fake remake watches. The fake remake one looks bad. Even I can tell it is not a good one. So, be careful. Ask your friend to go with you. Let them help you to find a good one. That is what I will do if I want one.
So, if you has much money, and you do not know how to spend it. Maybe you can go to that official flagship store. Buy a real one. I think they will be very happy to see you.
Or, you can find a good shop to buy a remake one. But remember, do not buy the fake remake one. If you wear a fake remake one, people will laugh at you. Even I know that. And you will be very sad. So, just be careful.
Anyway, that is all about the Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226G-001. A very expensive watch. If you are rich, you can buy it. If you are not, just buy a remake one. It is also good. I think so. No one will know.
