This here Patek Philippe, they call it Calatrava 5227G-010. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Well, it is! This ain’t no regular watch you get down at the five and dime, no sir. This is the real deal. My oldest boy, Jimmy, he knows ’bout these things. Says it’s the top of the line.
Now, this one I got, it’s a remake, they call it. Means it ain’t the original one that costs more than a whole darn house, but it looks just like it. Got all the same markings and such. They call it an “Original order” remake, which I reckon means they made it just like the real one.
Jimmy says the real Patek Philippe Calatrava, you can’t even buy it in a store! Can you believe that? They’re all gone, he says. “Reserved” or some such. Long waiting lists, he says. People waiting years, even eight years for a certain model they call the Nautilus, just to get one. All the rich folks buyin’ them up, I suppose.
This here remake, though, it ain’t like that. You can get your hands on one of these. Still costs a pretty penny, mind you, but not like the original. And it’s got that fancy Calatrava Cross on the strap. That’s how you know it’s special, Jimmy says. Also has Patek Philippe logo on the inside, like the original one.
- Patek Philippe Calatrava, that’s the name.
- This one’s a 5227G-010. That’s the number.
- It’s a remake, but a good one. “Original order”, they say.
- Real ones are hard to get, long waitin’ lists.
- This one’s got the Calatrava Cross, just like the real deal.
- Brand: Patek Philippe, very expensive.
- This model is 39 size, not too big.
- Real one has gold rotor, make it very luxury.
Now, is a real Patek Philippe worth all that money? Well, that depends, don’t it? If you got money to burn, and you like fancy things, then maybe so. It’s like a piece of jewelry, that’s what it is. But for everyday wear? I don’t know ’bout that. I’d be scared to scratch it! My old watch, it’s taken a lickin’ and keeps on tickin’, as they say.
This Calatrava, it’s more for show, I reckon. Like wearin’ your Sunday best every day. If you want to impress folks, this is the watch to do it. But to me, a watch is a watch. It tells the time, and that’s all that matters. Still this remake one, it’s pretty nice. If you like it, you can buy one. I saw some sell for like $28,000, some a bit cheaper.
I saw some say you can buy it in 2023, with box and paper. Those rich men really like those boxes and papers! This watch is new, not used. Some people don’t like used ones, they call it “pre-owned”.
Some people say you can save 15% if you buy used one. But I don’t know, I like new things. This watch, the real one, is very expensive. They say it is luxury. I guess that means it is for rich people. If you are not rich, you can buy this remake one. It looks the same, but costs less. But still expensive for me!
This Patek Philippe watch, it’s a man’s watch. They call it “Gents Watches”. Jimmy says it’s a “Dresswatch”, which means you wear it with a suit, I guess. It’s got a special back, they call it “Officer’s Style”. Don’t know what that means, but it sounds important.
Anyway, this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227G-010, it’s a fancy watch. Real one’s hard to get, but this remake is just as good, I reckon. If you like this kind of thing, and you got the money, then go for it. It’s a pretty thing, I’ll give it that. But for me, I’ll stick with my old trusty watch. It may not be fancy, but it gets the job done.
If you want this watch, you better know it is expensive. Even this remake one, it is not cheap. But it is cheaper than the real one. So, if you want to look like you have a lot of money, this is the watch for you. But if you are like me, you probably don’t need it.
