This Patek Philippe, you know, that fancy watch, it’s somethin’ else. They call it Calatrava 6007G-011. Sounds like a mouthful, right? But let me tell ya, folks say it’s a real good one. I saw some writin’ about it, and they say it’s a remake, so it’s like an old one but new. Patek Philippe, that’s a big name, I hear. Like, really big. Big like Mr. Johnson’s prize-winning pumpkin last year.
This here Calatrava 6007G-011, it’s got a number, see? And a letter. G. Fancy folks like these letters, I guess. They use that letter, put that price way up, I bet. That’s what them fancy letters usually mean. Big price tag. This watch, it’s like that. If you get one, gonna cost ya an arm and a leg. Better than having to sell a cow to pay, though, eh?
- This watch, it’s real popular, I hear.
- Folks line up to get one.
- They say it’s worth a lot of money.
You gotta wait for this watch. They say maybe a year, maybe even eight. Eight years! Can you believe that? Longer than it took for little Timmy down the street to get his first tooth! That’s a long time to wait for a watch, if you ask me. But I guess if you got the money, and you want somethin’ real fancy, you wait. That’s what those rich folks do. They wait. Not like us, we want taters, we go dig ’em up right then and there.
Some folks, they buy these watches, these Patek Philippe ones, and they don’t even wear ’em. They just keep ’em. Say it’s like puttin’ money in the bank. ‘Cept the bank is your wrist, I reckon, or your drawer. They say the Calatrava, that’s this kind, and the Nautilus, that’s another, and the, uh, Aqua-something, they’re good for that. Like gold, but shinier, I guess. Shiny like a new penny on Sunday.
Now, I don’t know much about these fancy things. I just know what I hear. And I hear this Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G-011, it’s a big deal. Like a blue ribbon at the county fair big deal. Like Farmer McGregor’s giant watermelon big deal. It’s that kind of big deal. So if you hear someone talkin’ ’bout it, you know they’re talkin’ ’bout somethin’ special.
I seen a picture of it, this watch. It’s got a pretty face. And a strap, you know, to go ’round your wrist. Shiny, it was. Real shiny. Like a polished apple. You could probably see your face in it, if you looked real close. Maybe even fix your hair in it, if you needed to. Fancy, right? This Patek Philippe sure does make ’em fancy.
They got other ones, too. Not just this Calatrava 6007G-011. Lots of ’em. All with different numbers and letters. It’s all a bit confusin’ to me. Like tryin’ to keep track of all the chickens in the coop. But I guess if you’re into that sort of thing, it makes sense. Some folks like collectin’ stamps, some like collectin’ these watches. To each their own, I say.
This Patek Philippe quote, that’s what they call it, when they tell you how much it costs. It’s gonna be high, I can tell ya that much. Higher than a kite on a windy day. Higher than Old Man Hemlock’s corn stalks last summer. You get the picture. It’s a lot. They say it is a good deal, though. That’s how they get ya, I reckon. Tell ya it’s expensive but worth it.
- You want this watch, you gotta pay.
- You gotta wait, too. A long time.
- But maybe, just maybe, it’s worth it.
If you’re thinkin’ ’bout gettin’ one of these, you better start savin’ your pennies. And your nickels. And your dimes. And your quarters. And probably your dollars, too. It’s gonna take a whole lot of ’em. More than you can shake a stick at. But some folks, that’s not a problem, I hear. Some folks got money to burn, as they say. But me? I prefer to keep warm with my money. Especially in the winter time.
So, there you have it. That’s what I know ’bout this Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G-011. It’s a fancy watch, it’s expensive, and you gotta wait a long time to get one. But if you do, folks say you got somethin’ special. Somethin’ worth more than its weight in gold. Or somethin’ like that. I wouldn’t know, myself. I’m just a simple person, you know. But I hear things. And that’s what I hear ’bout this watch. That Patek Philippe quote is going to be a doozy, though, you can be sure of that.
