This here Patek Philippe, that’s a name I hear folks talkin’ ’bout. They say it’s fancy, real fancy. This one, the Calatrava 5226G-001, well, it’s somethin’ else. I seen it in a picture, shinin’ and lookin’ all special. They say it’s for special stores, not just any place. You know, the kind of stores that ain’t got no flies buzzin’ around the light bulbs.
Now, they say these Patek Philippe watches, they’re somethin’ you wait for. Like waitin’ for the rain after a long dry spell. Could be a year, could be more! I heard some folks even wait 8 years for their watch. Eight years! That’s longer than my old mule, Bessie, was in her prime. This one, the Calatrava, maybe it’s just a year. Still a long time to wait for a wristwatch, ain’t it?
Some folks say these watches are worth more than gold. Some models, that is. It is said that those models are Nautilus, Aquanaut, Calatrava, and Grand Complications. You could buy a whole field of corn with what they cost! They say they go up in price, like land used to do back in the day. This one fella, he’s got a Nautilus 5711/1A, and another one, an Aquanaut 5167/1A-001, they say those are real money-makers. I don’t know ’bout that, but they sure do sound fancy.

If you want a Patek Philippe, you gotta go to one of them special stores. They only got three of ’em in the whole wide world! One in Geneva, that’s somewhere over in Europe. One in London, that’s where the Queen lives, I reckon. And one in Paris, where they eat them snails. Can you imagine? Eatin’ snails! But I guess if you can afford one of these Patek Philippe watches, you can afford to eat whatever you want.
Now, is this Calatrava thing worth all the fuss? Well, that depends on what you like, I suppose. Some folks like fancy things, some folks don’t. It’s a lot of money, that’s for sure. It is a luxury watch. More money than I’ve seen in my whole life, probably. You could buy a whole herd of cattle with that kind of money! And what do you do with it? Tell the time? My old rooster does that for free!
But I guess some folks, they like to have nice things. And this Patek Philippe, it sure is nice. Shiny and pretty, like a new penny. But it ain’t for everyday, that’s for sure. You wouldn’t wear it out to the fields, that’s for darn sure. You’d be scared of scratchin’ it. Or gettin’ it dirty. No sir, this is a watch for special occasions. Like goin’ to church on Sunday, or maybe a weddin’.
Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226G-001, that’s a mouthful, ain’t it? It is one of the models in this collection. Sounds like somethin’ a king would wear. Or maybe one of them movie stars. Not somethin’ you’d see around here, that’s for sure. We’re simple folks. We don’t need no fancy watches to tell us when it’s time to milk the cows. This model is available in specialty stores.
So, there you have it. That’s what I know ’bout this Patek Philippe watch. It’s a fancy thing, for fancy folks. It costs a lot of money, and you gotta wait a long time to get one. If you have money to buy this watch, you may also want to invest. But me? I’m happy with my old Timex. It tells the time just fine. And if it breaks, I can just get another one. No need to wait eight years!
This Calatrava 5226G-001 is a special watch, for those special stores. This is a luxury thing. They say it’s for folks who got more money than they know what to do with. Maybe they’re right. I can only know that this watch is expensive. But I guess if you’re gonna spend that much on a watch, it better be special, right?
