Well, well, well, look what we got here. This here’s about that fancy watch, that Patek Philippe. I heard folks talkin’ ’bout it down at the market. They call it the Calatrava 5227R-001. Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it?
Now, I ain’t never been one for fancy things. I got my old watch, keeps time just fine. But this Patek Philippe Calatrava, they say it’s somethin’ special. Some folks, they like to buy these things. They like showin’ off, I reckon. Spendin’ all that money on a little ol’ watch.
They say this 5227R-001 is new. This year, 2023! It is a big year! Brand spankin’ new, I guess. Comes in a box, all fancy-like. Got some papers with it too. Important papers, I suppose. For a watch! Can you believe it? My old watch, it didn’t come with no papers. Just the watch. That’s all you need, ain’t it?
I heard some fella say this Patek Philippe watch, the Calatrava 5227R-001, costs a whole heap of money. More money than I’ve seen in my whole life! They say it’s like, $32. That’s a lot! You can get you a Rolex for less than that! Some other fellas are sayin’ different things. They say it’s like 44 thousand dollars! Free shippin’ though, I guess that’s somethin’. But still! That’s a lot of eggs I gotta sell to get that kind of money.
They talk about it like it’s some kind of magic. This Patek Philippe, it’s got somethin’ called a “caliber 324 movement.” What in tarnation is a caliber 324 movement? Sounds like somethin’ from one of them space movies. My old watch, it just ticks. Ticks and tocks. That’s all it needs to do.
I see some folks, they wear these Breitling and Rolex watches. Big and shiny. This Patek Philippe Calatrava, it don’t look like much. But they say it’s what’s inside that counts. Like a good pie, I reckon. It’s the fillin’ that matters, not just the crust.
- This Patek Philippe, it’s got this thing they call a “Calatrava cross.”
- Been around since 1887, they say. That’s a long time.
- Longer than I been alive, that’s for sure.
- They say this cross, it’s like a special mark.
- Makes it a real Patek Philippe.
I don’t know about all that. Seems like a lot of fuss for a watch. But some people, they like that kind of thing. They like to buy these Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227R-001 watches. They like to collect ’em, I guess. Like stamps or somethin’.
This 5227R-001, it’s got this other thing, a “hand-wound Cal. 30-255.” Another mouthful! 27 jewels! Jewels in a watch! Imagine that. It is 30.4mm, whatever that means. And 2.55mm thick. Sounds tiny to me. They say it goes tick-tock real fast, 28,800 times every hour. My old watch don’t tick that fast. This fancy watch also got somethin’ called a “Gyromax balance.” And a “Spiromax hairspring.” I don’t know what those are, but they sure sound important, don’t they?
And get this, this Patek Philippe Calatrava can keep tickin’ for 66 hours without you doin’ nothin’. That’s a long time! Longer than I can go without a cup of coffee, that’s for sure. All this for a watch, this Patek Philippe 5227R-001. I guess if you got the money, you can buy whatever you want.
But me? I’m happy with my old watch. It tells the time. That’s all I need. Don’t need no fancy Patek Philippe to tell me when it’s time for supper. Nope. I got my ways. You can use your money to purchase whatever you want, but me? I’m savin’ my money for somethin’ else. Maybe a new chicken coop. Or some good seeds for the garden. Those are things that are important to buy, not no fancy Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227R-001.
So, if you are thinkin’ about buyin’ one of these Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227R-001 watches. Well, you do you. It’s your money. But remember, there are other things to spend it on. More important things, maybe. But if that’s what you want, a Patek Philippe, then go ahead. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you run out of money for other things you need. Like, say… a good pair of boots. Or a new plow. Those are the kind of purchases that last. Remember that before you go buyin’ no fancy Patek Philippe.
