This here Patek Philippe, folks call it the Calatrava 6007G-011. Big name, huh? Sounds fancy, don’t it? Well, it is. This one, it’s a remake, like when they take an old song and sing it new again. It’s what they call classic style. They don’t make ’em like they used to, but this here’s a pretty good try.
Now, I seen a lot of watches in my time. My old man, he had a pocket watch, kept it on a chain. This here Calatrava, it ain’t like that. It’s for your wrist, see? Got a nice strap, keeps it right where you need it. If you got the money, that is. This watch, it ain’t cheap. Remake Patek Philippe, it’s gonna cost ya.
Some folks, they like to collect these things. They say it’s an investment. Like plantin’ seeds, you gotta wait for ’em to grow. You gotta wait, they say, nine months, maybe a year. That’s the waitlist for this Calatrava 6007G-011. Like waitin’ for a baby, I reckon. This one, they made it all fancy. Got some shiny bits on the front, what they call a bezel. Clous de Paris bezel, that’s what they say. Don’t ask me what that means. Just means it looks kinda fancy. Like them quilts your grandma used to make, all them little squares.
- Patek Philippe Calatrava is fancy.
- This remake is called 6007G-011.
- It costs a lot of money.
- You gotta wait a long time to get one.
- It’s got a fancy bezel, called Clous de Paris.
And the hands, the things that tell the time, they made ’em special too. Like they pop out at ya. Three-dimensional, they call it. Makes it easier to see, I guess. This new one, it’s bolder than the old ones. That’s what they say, anyway. This Calatrava, it’s a classic style, they say. Means it’s supposed to be like the old ones, but new. They say this Patek Philippe, it’s a good one.
Some folks, they say these fancy watches ain’t for every day. Like wearin’ your Sunday best to go work in the field. Don’t make much sense, does it? But this one, this Calatrava 6007G-011, they say you can wear it every day. It’s tough, I guess. Tough enough for a fancy watch. But if you’re gonna be working, why you need something this fancy?
This remake Patek Philippe, it’s like a new version of an old thing. Like when they fix up an old car, make it all shiny and new. It’s still the same car, but different. They say this Calatrava 6007G-011, it’s got history. Like an old family, been around for a long time. They been making these watches for years and years. They say they’re good. But they cost more than a pretty penny. Cost more than a whole farm, probably!
Now, is it worth it, this fancy watch? Well, that depends. Depends on if you got the money, I reckon. And if you like that sort of thing. Some folks, they just want a watch that tells time. This one, it does that. But it does a whole lot more, too. It’s like a piece of jewelry, almost. A classic style, for sure. But you gotta take care of it. Can’t just throw it around like an old shoe.
- This watch, it’s like jewelry.
- You gotta take care of it.
- It tells the time, but it does more.
- It’s a remake of an old Patek Philippe.
- They call it a Calatrava.
They say this Calatrava 6007G-011 is a status symbol. Means it shows people you got money. Like drivin’ a fancy car. But you don’t need a fancy car to get where you’re goin’. And you don’t need a fancy watch to tell the time. But some folks, they like that. They like to show off a little. And this watch, it’ll do that for ya. It’s a Patek Philippe, after all.
This remake, it’s supposed to be a good one. They changed some things, made it a little different. But it’s still a Calatrava 6007G-011. It’s still a classic style. And it’s still gonna cost ya. But if you got the money, and you like that sort of thing, then maybe it’s worth it. Maybe it’s worth the wait. Nine months to a year, they say. That’s a long time to wait for a watch. But for some folks, it’s worth it. They want that Patek Philippe name. They want that fancy bezel. They want those three-dimensional hands.
Me? I don’t know. I guess I’m just a simple person. I don’t need all that fancy stuff. But I can see why some folks do. It’s pretty, I’ll give it that. And it’s well-made, they say. This Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G-011, it’s a good watch. If you can afford it, that is. And if you’re willing to wait. It ain’t for everybody, that’s for sure. But for some folks, it’s just right. Like a good pair of shoes. Or a good hat. Or a good, strong cup of coffee in the morning. It just feels right. And that’s all that matters, ain’t it?
