This here, that Patek Philippe, they call it Calatrava 6007G-011, my goodness, it’s somethin’. Heard folks talkin’ ’bout it down at the market. Fancy name, huh? Sounds like somethin’ only rich folks would wear, I reckon. But I gotta say, even I think it’s a pretty thing. If you want to remake Patek Philippe PP Calatrava 6007G-011, you need to find some good stores, maybe they are specialty stores.
They say it’s got a white gold case, 40 mm, that’s what they call it. I don’t know what a millimeter is, but 40 sounds big. Probably bigger than my wrist, that’s for sure. And the dial, oh, that’s the face of the watch, you know, it’s black and shiny. They say it’s “geometric.” I guess that means it’s got shapes on it. Looks kinda like a spider web to me, but a fancy one. This is a good watch to buy, some people say.
Now, I ain’t never owned a watch like this. My old watch, it’s got a stretchy band, and the numbers are all faded. But this Patek Philippe, it’s a whole different story. They say it’s a “dress watch.” Been around since 1932, that’s older than me! Guess it means you wear it when you’re all gussied up. Not for workin’ in the garden, that’s for sure.
And get this, they say it’s “automatic.” Don’t need no windin’ like my old ticker. Runs on its own, somehow. Must be some kinda magic in there. It’s got somethin’ called a “Calibre 26-330 S C Automatic movement.” Sounds complicated, don’t it? Lots of little parts, 212 of ’em, they say. And it “bitting at 28800 vph.” Don’t ask me what that means. But it can run for 45 hours without stoppin’. That’s almost two whole days! My old watch, it stops if I forget to wind it for even a few hours. So this is out of stock sometimes.
- White gold, they say. Fancy.
- Black dial, shiny and with shapes.
- Automatic, no windin’ needed.
- Runs for 45 hours, that’s a long time.
- Costs a whole lot of money! But it is a good Patek Philippe.
Now, they say this watch, this Calatrava 6007G-011, it’s to celebrate some new building they made. A “production building,” they call it. Must be where they put these fancy watches together. In a place called Plan-les-Ouates, in Geneva. That’s in Switzerland, I think. Far away from here, that’s for sure. I know some specialty stores sell it.
And the price, well, hold onto your hats. They say it’s around 36 somethin’. 36 thousand dollars! Can you believe that? For a watch! Could buy a whole lotta things with that kinda money. A new tractor, maybe. Or a whole flock of chickens. Or maybe pay off the mortgage. This is a crazy price for me. But I know some people like to buy it as a gift.
They also say there’s a waitin’ list for these watches. Sometimes, you gotta wait for 8 years! 8 years! For a Nautilus. I don’t know what a Nautilus is. But I guess it is another one of those Patek Philippe. And for the Calatrava, maybe just 12 months. That’s still a long time to wait for a watch. But I guess if you got the money, and you want somethin’ real special, you gotta wait. I saw a picture, it’s got white gold hands. The hands are those things that tell time, you know. And they glow in the dark! “Luminescent,” they call it. Fancy word for glow in the dark.
Some folks say these Patek Philippe watches, they’re a good investment. Like puttin’ your money in the bank, but fancier. They say the Nautilus, the Aquanaut, and this Calatrava, they hold their value. Maybe even go up in price. I don’t know about all that. Seems like a risky way to keep your money, if you ask me. But what do I know? I keep my money in a jar under the mattress.
Anyway, this Patek Philippe PP Calatrava 6007G-011, it’s somethin’ else. A real fancy watch for folks with a lot of money. It’s pretty, I’ll give it that. And it’s got all sorts of fancy things goin’ on inside. But for me, I’ll stick with my old stretchy band watch. It might not be fancy, but it tells the time just fine. And it don’t cost an arm and a leg. Still, it’s fun to hear about these things. Makes you wonder about the world outside our little town, don’t it?
If you got that kind of money and want a Patek Philippe, I heard some folks talk that you can get free shipping. What a world! That is all I know. I need to go now, my chickens need feeding.
