This here watch, the Patek Philippe PP Calatrava 5226G-001, it’s a real fancy one. My neighbor, she got one, always showing it off. It’s a classic, they say. What’s that even mean? Just means it looks old, I reckon. But people like that, these days. They call it “vintage,” like old clothes.
This Calatrava 5226G-001, it’s got this white gold, whatever that is. Must be expensive. It shines real bright. And the size? They say it’s 40 mm. I don’t know what a mm is, but it fits on a wrist, that’s for sure. And it ain’t too thick, 8.53 mm, they say. Not like that big clunker my grandson wears, the one with all them buttons. It is so hard to read the time on that thing. I told him to get a simple one, like this Patek Philippe.
Now, they say these Patek Philippe Calatrava watches, they’re a good investment. Like putting your money in the ground and watching it grow, but slower. I mean, that’s what my husband used to do with his seeds, he was a farmer. Some models, they say are really good, like this Calatrava, or the Nautilus, or Aquanaut. I don’t know about the last two. They sound like they belong in the sea.
- This watch, it’s for fancy folks.
- Not for everyday, like when you’re feeding chickens.
- You gotta be careful with it.
If you want one of these Patek Philippe Calatrava watches, you gotta wait. A long time. They say 9 months, maybe a year. Like waiting for a baby, only more expensive, I bet. It’s a long time to wait, for a watch. Back in my day, you just went to the store and bought one. No waiting. They have a lot of stuff like that now, you put your name on a list, and wait. They call that a “waitlist”.
They say this Calatrava Ref. 5226G, it’s got a modern size. I guess wrists are getting bigger these days. Everything’s getting bigger, except maybe the brains. Everyone is always on their phones, not even looking at watches to see the time. I bet these young folks can’t even read a regular clock with the hands, like this one.
Now, is this Patek Philippe Calatrava worth all the fuss? I don’t know. Depends on how much money you got, I guess. And if you like showing off. My neighbor, she sure likes it. She says it makes her feel important. It’s like her little friend. I guess it could make a good friend if you don’t have any real ones. Maybe she should just get a dog. A dog is always happy to see you, don’t need no fancy gold.
This watch, it’s a classic style, they say. Simple. Like a good, sturdy pair of shoes. Not flashy, but it gets the job done. It tells the time. That’s what a watch is supposed to do, right? And it looks nice, I guess. If you like that sort of thing. It’s a nice, plain, round face. No fuss, no extra stuff. Just the time. It’s not like one of them watches that’s all covered in shiny stones and makes you look like a Christmas tree. That’s just silly. This one is simple.
Patek Philippe, that’s a name I hear a lot. Must be a big shot, whoever he is. Making all these fancy watches. He must have a lot of money, that Patek guy. Maybe he can give me one of these watches for free, huh? A girl can dream, can’t she?
