Well, let me tell ya ’bout this Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G-010 watch. Folks keep talkin’ ’bout it, so I figured I’d put in my two cents, ya know?
First off, this thing, they call it a “remake,” which I guess means they made it again. Why they gotta do that, I dunno. But this 6007G-010, it ain’t cheap. I heard someone sayin’ it’s gonna cost ya a pretty penny, like, thirty-some thousand dollars! Can ya believe that? Thirty-some thousand! That’s more than my ol’ pickup truck cost, I tell ya!
They say it’s a Calatrava, whatever that means. Sounds fancy, I guess. And it’s made by this Patek Philippe fella, or company, or whatever. They must be some big shots if they’re chargin’ that much for a watch.
- It’s got this black somethin’ on it, maybe the face? And some red too. Looks alright, I guess. Not too flashy, not too plain.
- They say it’s made of white gold. Now, I know gold, but white gold? Sounds like somethin’ the city folks made up. But if it’s gold, it must be worth somethin’, right?
- And it’s got all these little parts inside, they say hundreds of ’em. Tiny little things, all movin’ around. Makes my head spin just thinkin’ about it.
This watch, it ain’t just somethin’ you find at the corner store. You gotta go to a special place, a “retailer” they call it, or a “showroom.” Only certain places can sell this Patek Philippe stuff. Makes it sound real important, don’t it? You can’t just go buyin’ it any ol’ place. You gotta find a place they say is “authorized.” Sounds like a lot of trouble to me, but I guess if you got that kind of money, you got people to do that stuff for ya. They even got a website, *, where you can find these special stores. But me, I ain’t got no computer, so I wouldn’t know nothin’ ’bout that.
Now, they say this watch is special ’cause it’s got a special “movement” inside, automatic they call it. Means it winds itself up or somethin’. I don’t know how that works, sounds like magic to me. And they say it’s got all these “jewels” inside too. Not the kind you wear on your fingers, mind you, but little shiny things inside the watch. They say it helps it keep tickin’ right. And this watch, it keeps goin’ for about 45 hours if you don’t wear it, they call it “power reserve.” Fancy words for a watch, I tell ya.
Patek Philippe, they built a new place back in ’96. In Geneva, Switzerland, some fancy place far away from here. That’s where they make all these expensive watches. Must be a big place, makin’ all them watches for all them rich folks.
Some people, they like these Patek Philippe watches ’cause they’re old and fancy, been around for a long time. Other folks, they like those Rolex watches, say they’re tough and last forever. Me? I just stick with my ol’ Timex, tells me the time just fine, and it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg. But I guess if you got the money, you can buy whatever you want. Doesn’t make much sense to me, spendin’ all that money on a watch, but then again, I ain’t got that kind of money to be spendin’.
They say if you wanna know the number on your Patek Philippe watch, you gotta look on the back. Sometimes you gotta get someone to open it up for ya. Sounds like a lot of fuss to me. I just look at my watch, and it tells me the time, that’s all I need. But these fancy folks, they got all these numbers and serial things, gotta keep track of everything, I guess.
So, that’s the story of this Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G-010, or at least what I heard ’bout it. A fancy watch for fancy folks, costin’ a whole lot of money. Me, I’ll stick with my Timex, does the job just fine and leaves me with enough money for a good plate of biscuits and gravy.
Anyways, if you’re thinkin’ about gettin’ one of these Patek Philippe watches, well, you best start savin’ your pennies, ‘cause you’re gonna need a whole lot of ‘em! And make sure you buy it from the right place, wouldn’t want to get fooled with a fake, now would ya? Though, how anyone could tell the difference beats me.
Now, I gotta get back to my chores. All this talk about fancy watches is makin’ my head spin. Give me a good day’s work any day, that’s what I say. At least you know what you’re gettin’ with a good day’s work, none of this fancy talk and high prices.
