Well, let me tell ya, I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout this here Patek Philippe thing. Sounds fancy, don’t it? They call it the Calatrava 6119G-001. Now, I ain’t one for fancy things, but I heard it’s got somethin’ called a “quote.” Must be important, that quote. Maybe it tells ya how much it costs. These rich folks, they like to know how much things cost, don’t they?
This Patek Philippe, it’s a watch, ya see. A fancy, expensive watch. They say it’s a “remake”. Like when you fix up an old quilt, but with a watch. They probably took an old one and shined it up real good. Maybe put some new parts in it. This 6119G-001, it’s supposed to be somethin’ special. They say it’s got a pattern on it, some kinda fancy carvin’. “Clous de Paris” they call it. Sounds French, don’t it? Probably cost a whole lot of money just for that fancy name.
They say this watch, this Calatrava, it’s bigger now. Like they stretched it out a bit. Maybe it’s easier to see the time now. My old eyes ain’t what they used to be. A bigger watch face, that might be nice. This one, the 6119G-001, it’s probably got all sorts of doohickeys on it. Little hands and numbers and such. More than you need, I reckon. Just need to know the time, that’s all.
I heard them say it’s made of gold. White gold, they said. Must be mighty expensive, gold is. This 6119G-001, it ain’t for folks like me. We don’t need no gold watch. Just a simple one that tells the time. But these rich folks, they like to show off their money, don’t they? Wearin’ it on their wrist. This “Charcoal gray”, that is the color, like the ashes after a good fire. It is a good color for Patek Philippe Calatrava.
- This Patek Philippe Calatrava, it’s a big deal, I guess.
- They say it’s got that fancy “quote” for the 6119G-001.
- It’s a remake of some other watch, all shined up.
- Got that “Clous de Paris” pattern, whatever that is.
- It’s bigger now, easier to see, maybe.
- Made of white gold, mighty expensive.
- And a Charcoal gray color.
Now, they say this watch, it’s got somethin’ called a “movement.” Sounds like it’s dancin’ around in there. It’s how the watch works, I reckon. Keeps the time. This one, the 6119G-001, it’s got a special kind of movement. They call it “30‑255 PS”. Sounds like a secret code, don’t it? Must be important to them watch folks. They also got this “Caliber 215PS”. I don’t understand, but it seems like a good thing.
This Patek Philippe, they been makin’ these watches for a long time, I hear. Since way back in 1932. That’s a long time ago. Before I was even born. They started with a watch called “Reference 96”. Sounds simple enough. Then, some family, the Sterns, they took over. Must be good at makin’ watches, those Sterns. This Calatrava 6119G-001 is new, but this Patek Philippe Calatrava has a long history.
This Calatrava thing, it’s named after some knights, I heard. The Order of Calatrava, they called it. Knights, like in them old stories. Must be important, to name a watch after knights. These knights, they were in the crusades, they said. That was a long time ago, too. Lots of fightin’, I reckon. Don’t know why they’d name a watch after that, but I guess it sounds fancy. I think Patek Philippe Calatrava is famous because of the name.
They got other watches, too, these Patek Philippe folks. One called 5196, I heard. Came out in 2004, they said. That’s more recent. They make it in all kinds of gold, this one. Yellow gold, white gold, rose gold. Even platinum. That’s even fancier than gold, I think. Must cost a fortune. The 5196 watch is a good watch, like this Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G-001.
These Patek Philippe Calatrava watches, they’re somethin’ else, ain’t they? All fancy and expensive. More than I’d ever need. But I guess some folks like ’em. They like to show off their money, wearin’ it on their wrist. Me, I’m happy with my old watch. It tells the time just fine. And if you want to buy a Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G-001, maybe you need to find a good “quote”.
Well, that’s all I know about this Patek Philippe thing. This Calatrava 6119G-001, it’s a mystery to me. But I hope that “quote” helps you if you want one, I guess. Just remember, a watch is just a watch, even if it is made of gold and named after knights. Don’t get too caught up in all that fancy stuff. Just make sure it tells the time, that’s the important thing.
