This Patek Philippe, oh, it’s a fancy name, ain’t it? They call it the Calatrava 6119G-001. Sounds like a mouthful, right? Well, let me tell ya, this ain’t your regular wristwatch. This is the kind of watch rich folks wear. They say it’s special, only sold in fancy stores.
Now, I hear tell there’s only three of these special Patek Philippe stores in the whole wide world. One in Geneva, that’s in Switzerland, I reckon. Another in London, across the big pond. And the last one’s in Paris. Sounds like a fairy tale, don’t it? You can only buy a new Patek Philippe watch from one of the 78 authorized dealers (ADs) in the United States. So, if you ain’t near one of them fancy stores, you’re outta luck. Unless you go to one of them authorized dealers, but who knows where they are.
And get this, even if you find one of these stores, they might not even have the watch! They got these signs sayin’ “reserved” or they’ll tell ya they ain’t takin’ new customers. Can you believe that? It’s like they’re sayin’, “You ain’t good enough for our fancy watches!”
- Some folks say you gotta wait a long time for these watches.
- Like, eight whole years for some of ’em!
- Eight years! I could knit a whole blanket in that time.
- Maybe even two!
They call one of these watches the “Nautilus”. Sounds like somethin’ from a sea story. But this Calatrava, the 6119G-001, they say the wait’s a bit shorter. Only about a year, they say. Just a year! Like that’s not a long time to wait for a watch.
Now, this here Calatrava 6119G-001, it’s made of white gold. Fancy, right? I don’t even know what white gold is, but it sure sounds expensive. And the face of it, they call it a “Charcoal Gray Dial.” Sounds like somethin’ you’d find in the bottom of a fireplace. But I guess rich folks like that kinda thing.
I seen some pictures, and this Patek Philippe Calatrava, it’s got this pattern on it. They call it “Clous de Paris.” Sounds French, don’t it? It’s like a bunch of little bumps all over. They say it’s special. I guess it is, if you like that sort of thing. It’s like 39mm, whatever that means. Must be a big watch.
Some folks say these Patek Philippe watches are worth the money. They say they’re made real good, and they’re a “status symbol.” That means they show everyone you got a lot of money. But I don’t know. Seems like a lot of fuss for a watch. My old watch tells time just fine, and I didn’t have to wait a year for it.
I heard these Calatrava 6119G-001 watches cost more than a new car! Can you believe it? $26,000, some say. $30,000 for others. Imagine that, that much money for a watch! I could buy a whole herd of cows for that kind of money. Free shipping though, so that’s something, I guess.
If you are set on getting one, you can try to buy a used one. Save you some trouble. But then, you never know what that watch has been through. A new one is always better, if you ask me. But hey, I don’t know nothin’ about these fancy things.
This Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G-001 is sure somethin’. It’s a fancy watch for fancy folks. But if you ask me, it’s a lot of money and a lot of waitin’ for somethin’ that just tells time. But hey, that’s just my two cents. I’m just saying that there are other watches out there. And they tell time just as good. Maybe they ain’t made of white gold, and maybe they don’t have a fancy French name. But they’ll tell you when it’s time for supper, and that’s all that really matters, ain’t it?
So if you are thinking about this Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G-001, you better think real hard. Make sure it is really what you want. And make sure you got a lot of patience. And a whole lot of money.
