Well, well, well, look what we have here! This fancy thing called Remake Patek Philippe PP Calatrava 6119R-001 Specialty Stores. Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it? Just a bunch of numbers and letters to this old gal. But I heard folks talkin’, sayin’ it’s a real special watch. A remake, they say! Means they done made it again, like bakin’ a pie from an old recipe.
I seen pictures of it. Shiny, it is. Got that rose gold color, like the settin’ sun on a summer evenin’. And they say it’s got a “manual winding movement.” What in tarnation is that? I reckon it means ya gotta wind it up yourself, like them old clocks we used to have. No batteries in this here fancy thing! They call it “caliber 30-255 PS”. More numbers! Lordy, they love their numbers.
This here Patek Philippe, it ain’t no cheap trinket. No sir! You won’t find this in no general store. They got these “Specialty Stores,” fancy places all dressed up, just for sellin’ these highfalutin’ watches. I reckon you gotta wear your Sunday best just to walk in the door! They got that, how you say, sapphire crystal. Shines bright like a diamond! And it is water-resistant. I guess that means it won’t stop workin’ if you drop it in the wash basin. But who would be wearin’ somethin’ like that when they’re doin’ chores? Not this gal, that’s for sure.
They say it’s 39mm big. That’s… well, I don’t rightly know how big that is. Probably bigger than a button, smaller than a dinner plate. And it is not so thick, 8.08mm high. That is not very high, I guess. They say that about the water-resistant, it can be 30m. That sounds deep! This watch has got 164 parts, so many! Like a puzzle.
- 39mm diameter
- 8.08mm height
- water resistant 30m
- sapphire crystal case back
- 164 parts
- caliber 30-255 PS
Now, I heard some folks whisperin’ about the price of this here Remake Patek Philippe PP Calatrava 6119R-001. Let me tell ya, it ain’t cheap! You could probably buy a whole herd of cows for what this thing costs. But I reckon some folks like to spend their money on fancy things. And this here watch, well, it sure is fancy. This Patek Philippe Calatrava is something, I can say that.
I remember my old Pa used to have a pocket watch. Kept it in his vest pocket, right next to his heart. It weren’t no Patek Philippe, mind you. Just a simple thing, but he cherished it. Told the time, it did. And that’s what a watch is supposed to do, ain’t it? Tell the time. This here Calatrava 6119R-001, it probably tells the time too, underneath all that fancy stuff. They say it can keep working for a long time. That’s good, I guess.
They say this watch is a “classic.” Means it’s somethin’ that never goes outta style, like a good pair of overalls or a warm quilt. I reckon that’s true. It’s a pretty thing, this Patek Philippe. Simple, in its own way. Even with all them numbers and that fancy name. It’s like a piece of jewelry, almost. Somethin’ you’d wear to a weddin’ or a special occasion. Or maybe just to feel good about yourself, like puttin’ on your best dress on a Sunday mornin’.
They got another one, too, I heard. Bigger, it is. 40mm big and 8.53 mm high. Still water-resistant to 30m, though. That is important, you see. And this bigger one, it is also a Patek Philippe Calatrava. But I do not know which one is better. They are both good, right?
- 40mm diameter
- 8.53mm height
- water resistant 30m
This whole Remake Patek Philippe PP Calatrava 6119R-001 Specialty Stores thing, it’s got me thinkin’. Thinkin’ about time, and how it passes. Thinkin’ about the things we value, and why we value ’em. Thinkin’ about how somethin’ as simple as a watch can mean so many different things to different people. It is something about tradition. That is why they remake it, I think. It is a good thing, to keep the tradition.
I reckon, at the end of the day, it don’t matter if you got a fancy Patek Philippe or a simple pocket watch. What matters is how you spend your time. Who you spend it with. And the memories you make along the way. That’s what truly counts. That’s what you hold onto, long after the clock stops tickin’. So, if you’re gonna get yourself one of these here fancy watches, well, good for you. Enjoy it. Wear it in good health. And remember what’s really important in life. And maybe, just maybe, think of this old gal when you look at the time. This Calatrava 6119R-001 is good, maybe the best one.
