You know what? I saw this thing, this Patek Philippe Calatrava thing, the other day. That name, it’s a mouthful, ain’t it? Remake, original, all that fancy talk. This one, it’s called 6007G-011. Don’t ask me what all them numbers and letters mean. I just know it’s one of them fancy watches, the kind you see them rich folks wearing.
I heard it’s some remake of this Patek Philippe. They make it look all new and shiny again, I guess. This Calatrava 6007G-011, it’s got this big round face. I think they said it was 40… something. Big enough to see the time, that’s for sure. Not like them tiny things you can barely read. And it’s made of that white gold. White gold! Can you believe it? We used to have gold teeth. But white gold? That’s something else.
This Remake Patek Philippe, it’s supposed to be real special. They say it’s an “original order.” I reckon that means someone ordered it special, like you order a cake from the bakery. Only this cake costs more than my whole house, I bet! This one, the Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G-011, it’s all black. Black face, black strap, like it’s dressed for a funeral. But a fancy funeral, you know? The kind where everyone’s wearing them shiny shoes and hats.
- This watch, it’s got all them little lines and squares on it.
- They say it’s “geometric.”
- Sounds like something from school.
- I never was much good at school.
I saw a picture of it, this Remake Patek Philippe Calatrava thing. It did look kinda nice, I gotta admit. Shiny and all. But who needs a watch that costs that much? You could buy a whole herd of cows for that kind of money! Or a new tractor! This original order thing… they say it’s rare. I guess that’s why it costs so much. Like them rare birds you see sometimes. Pretty to look at, but you can’t eat ’em.
I heard them talking about the “manufacture.” Sounds like a big factory, I reckon. That’s where they make these Patek Philippe watches. Must be a busy place, making all them fancy things. They make this Calatrava 6007G-011 there. This remake one. I bet they got all sorts of machines and tools. Not like the tools we use on the farm. These are probably all shiny and new, just like the watch.
They say this Patek Philippe Calatrava is “automatic.” I don’t know what that means. Maybe it tells the time all by itself? Don’t need to wind it up like them old clocks? We used to have a clock like that. Big old thing, stood in the corner. Had to wind it up every day. This new one, this 6007G-011, maybe it’s smarter than that old clock. Maybe it’s smarter than me!
I wouldn’t know what to do with a watch like that. Too fancy for me. I’d be scared to scratch it. Or lose it! Imagine losing something that costs that much! I’d rather have a good pair of boots. Or a new dress. Something useful. This Remake Patek Philippe Calatrava, it’s just for show, I reckon. Like them fancy cars you see driving around. All shiny and new, but they still just get you from here to there, same as an old truck.
This original order thing, I guess some people like that. Having something special, something no one else has. Like winning a prize at the county fair. Only this prize costs a lot more than a blue ribbon! This Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G-011, it’s like the prize of all prizes. At least, that’s what them folks who buy it probably think.
- White gold, they say.
- Must be mighty expensive.
- More than I’ve ever seen in my life.
I remember my old grandpa, he had a pocket watch. Not a Patek Philippe, mind you. Just a regular watch. But he treasured it. Kept it in his pocket, on a little chain. He’d pull it out and check the time, real slow and careful. Like it was made of glass. I wonder what he’d think of this Remake Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G-011. He’d probably just shake his head and laugh.
Well, I guess that’s all I know about this fancy watch. This Patek Philippe thing. It’s something, ain’t it? This original order, this Calatrava 6007G-011. A lot of fancy words for a little clock you wear on your wrist. But I guess that’s the way of the world these days. Everything’s getting fancier and more expensive. Except me. I’m still just the same old me. But I reckon I like it that way. I got more important to think than a Remake Patek Philippe Calatrava.
