Well, let me tell you somethin’. This here watch, this Patek Philippe PP Calatrava 6007G-011, they say it’s a real humdinger. Original order, they call it. Fancy name for, I reckon, a good remake. I seen it, and it sure is shiny. These young folks, they go crazy for these things. They save all their money just for watch. Me? I don’t get it. But, hey, whatever floats your boat, right?
They say it’s a “classic style.” Now, I don’t know about all that. I just know it’s got a black face and yellow. Some folks like that. You can get it in red too, if you want. The number for that one is 6007G-010. That Patek Philippe sure like the numbers, don’t they? This one is 6007G-011. They just all look like numbers to me. Don’t matter what the numbers are. They all cost a fortune! This one, they say it can cost you more than $30,000. Lord have mercy, that’s a lot of money for a watch! It’s like buyin’ a whole car.
And get this, they say you gotta wait for it. Waitin’ list, they call it. For the fancy ones, like the “Nautilus,” you might be waitin’ eight years! Eight years! I could be plantin’ and harvestin’ eight whole crops in that time. For this here Calatrava 6007G-011, maybe a year. Still a long time to wait for somethin’ you wear on your wrist. But then again, I don’t need that. I got the sun to tell me the time.
I heard some folks sayin’ this Patek Philippe, it’s like a… what’s that word… a “status symbol.” You wear it to show off, I reckon. Show everyone you got money to burn. And they say it’s made real good, “exceptional craftsmanship.” I guess that means it won’t fall apart on ya. But for that price, it better not! This watch better last longer than I do! I ain’t rich like them. I got a good watch, it works, it tells time. That’s all I need.
They started makin’ these Calatrava watches way back, they say. 1839! That’s a long, long time ago. Before I was born, that’s for sure. Even before my mama was born. And they still makin’ ’em. Must be doin’ somethin’ right, I suppose. Patek Philippe, Rolex, Omega. They all big names. Everybody know them. But they all cost more money than I make in a year. So I guess they ain’t for me. And I don’t mind that, not one bit.
If you’re thinkin’ of gettin’ one of these Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G-011, or any Patek Philippe for that matter, they say you should maybe look for a used one. “Pre-owned,” they call it. Saves you some money, I guess. But even used, it’s still gonna cost ya. A lot. That is more money than I have seen in my whole life!
Here’s what I think about this whole thing:
- This Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G-011, it’s a fancy watch. No doubt about it.
- It’s gonna cost you an arm and a leg. And maybe a kidney too.
- You might have to wait a long time to get your hands on one. Maybe a whole year for this one.
- Folks say it’s a good investment. I don’t know about that. I’d rather invest in somethin’ I can eat.
- If you got the money and you like it, then go for it. It’s your money. Just know you can buy a used car for the same money.
Me? I’m gonna stick with my old watch. It ain’t fancy, but it tells the time just fine. And it didn’t cost me a fortune. That’s what I call a good deal. This Patek Philippe PP Calatrava 6007G-011, that’s for the rich folks. This kind of watch ain’t for the workin’ man. If you have money, you can buy it. But it just ain’t for me. I need that money for food. I need that money for bills. I don’t need no fancy watch to tell me what time it is.
They say this new 6007G-011 is a bit bolder than the old ones. They changed the hands and made the bezel different. They say that makes you wanna wear it every day. All day, every day. That’s what they say. Maybe that’s true for some. Not for me. I only wear a watch when I need to know the time. And that ain’t every day. And I don’t need no Patek Philippe Calatrava to do that. I got a clock in the kitchen that works just fine.
So, there you have it. That’s what I think about this Patek Philippe PP Calatrava 6007G-011 Original order watch. It’s a lot of money for somethin’ small. But some folks like it. So, to each their own, I say. To each their own.
