This Patek Philippe, that’s a fancy name, ain’t it? Calatrava 6007G-011. Sounds like a mouthful. And what’s with the official flagship store? Sounds mighty important, like the mayor’s office or somethin’. They say it’s a remake, whatever that means. Probably just means they shined it up real good. They say it’s a good watch for your money.
That Calatrava, folks say it’s a good watch. I seen pictures, it’s got a black face, looks kinda like that old clock we had in the parlor. This one, they call it ebony, like that fancy wood. This Patek Philippe 6007G-011, it’s all black and gold color. Yellow, they say, like the sun. Some folks like that, I reckon. It’s got numbers and lines, look all jumbled up to me. They say it’s all fancy, like, geometric. Whatever that means. It’s like a puzzle on your wrist.
I heard some folks, they wait a long time for these Patek Philippe watches. Years, they say! Can you believe it? Eight years for some, like that Nautilus one. I don’t know what’s so special ’bout it. Twelve months for that Calatrava, still a long time. Like waitin’ for the corn to grow. Just for a watch! I’d rather have a good pie, myself.
They say this Patek Philippe Calatrava, it’s a dress watch. Means you wear it when you’re all gussied up, I guess. To church or a weddin’, maybe. It’s slim, they say. Like skinny ol’ Mrs. Henderson’s boy. Don’t know why you’d want a skinny watch, but that’s what they say. This Patek Philippe 6007G-011, it’s the same, I reckon. Slim and fancy.
They got three of these new Calatrava things, all white gold. Gold! Can you imagine? Must cost a fortune. More than my old mule, that’s for sure. They all got that black face, with them lines and numbers. Modern, they call it. Looks like a bunch of chicken scratch to me.

Inside this Patek Philippe watch, they got all these little parts. Jewels, they say. Like them shiny rocks little Timmy used to collect down by the creek. Two hundred and twelve parts! More parts than my old sewing machine. And it goes tick-tock, tick-tock, real fast. Faster than a hummingbird’s wings. They say it can run for 45 hours. I don’t know. I get tired after one.
This Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G-011, it’s got a strap. Black leather. They don’t say if it’s cowhide or what. They say it costs 36 somethin’. Don’t know what that means. Probably a lot. I’d buy a whole herd of goats for that much money. It’s automatic, they say that too. That means it works by itself. Magic, I guess. Or somethin’.
Some folks, they buy these Patek Philippe watches and think they’re gonna get rich. Like plantin’ magic beans. They say it’s a good investment. Better than land, they say. I don’t know about that. Land, you can grow things on. What you gonna grow on a watch? Dust, maybe.
They sell these Patek Philippe things on that, what do you call it, Chrono24? Like that TV show, 24, but with clocks, I guess. They got all kinds of ’em there. This Calatrava 6007G-011, they say it costs 38 somethin’. Plus free shippin’. Well, that’s somethin’, I suppose. Still too much for an old lady like me. I like my old watch. It tells the time just fine.
This whole Patek Philippe thing, it’s all a mystery to me. Fancy names, fancy prices. People waitin’ for years. For a watch! I guess some folks got more money than sense. Me, I’ll stick to what I know. A good pair of shoes, a warm coat, and a roof over my head. That’s all a body really needs. And maybe a piece of that pie. Apple, if you got it.
