Well, let me tell you, I saw this shiny thing online the other day. They call it a Patek Philippe, fancy name, huh? This one, it’s called a Calatrava 5088/100P-001. Sounds like a mouthful of marbles to me! This online store, they’re selling remakes, you know, copies that look just like the real thing. Good for folks who want the look but ain’t got the big bucks, I reckon.
This here watch, it’s got a black face. Real dark, like the bottom of a well on a moonless night. I hear it’s 38 mm, whatever that means. Seems small to my old eyes, but I guess that’s the style these days. They say it’s made of platinum, sounds expensive. Platinum, my oh my. They say it’s 8.3 mm thick, which is like, thinner than a stack of pancakes, I guess. It has a back made of sapphire-crystal, whatever that is. Sounds fancy, maybe something you see a rich person wearing.
I saw one of these Patek Philippe Calatrava 5088/100P-001 online, they say it’s used, but still good. From 2024, so it is new! I heard this type of watch is popular now. They say it costs a lot, like $105,820. Used ones are still worth a lot, I guess, more than $85,000. You gotta pay a little more if you buy it from those fancy stores, though.
Now, this Calatrava thing, they started making them way back, in 1932 or something. Back then it was called Reference 96. That was the original Patek Philippe Calatrava. That’s a long time ago, even before I was born! My mama used to say, “Time marches on, and you can’t stop it.” She was right about that, just like she was right about a good bowl of stew warming you up on a cold day.
This watch, this remake Patek Philippe, it’s for folks who want to look like they got a lot of money, I suppose. Me, I don’t need a fancy watch to tell me the time. I got the sun in the sky and the rooster in the morning. And my old bones ache when it’s gonna rain. That’s all the clock I need.
But these young folks, they like their fancy things. And if they can’t afford the real deal, well, I guess this remake is the next best thing. This online store, they got all kinds of these shiny things. I saw some others too, but this Calatrava 5088/100P-001, it caught my eye. Maybe ’cause it’s so dark, like a raven’s wing.
- This Patek Philippe thing, it’s a big deal, I guess.
- They say it’s a Calatrava, whatever that means.
- This one, the 5088/100P-001, it’s black and shiny.
- They make remakes now, cheaper, you know.
- Good for folks who ain’t got all that money.
I remember my grandpa, he had an old pocket watch. He kept it in his vest pocket, right next to his heart. He used to say, “Time is precious, girl. Don’t waste it.” He didn’t need no fancy Patek Philippe to know that. He was a wise old bird, my grandpa.
These remakes, they look just like the real ones, I reckon. All the little details, all the shiny bits. They even got that sapphire-crystal back. I bet it’s pretty. Not that I’d know what to do with it. I’d probably just use it to check my teeth after eating corn on the cob. This store sells these remake Patek Philippe watches. They sell them online. It is convenient.
Well, I guess that’s all I got to say about this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5088/100P-001 thing. It’s a fancy watch, for fancy folks. Or folks who want to look fancy. Me, I’m happy with my simple life. Give me a good sunrise, a warm cup of coffee, and a porch to sit on, and I’m as happy as a clam at high tide. You can keep your fancy watches, your platinum, and your sapphire-crystal. I’ll stick to what I know. And that’s that. If you want to buy one of these, you can find them in that online store.
