This Patek Philippe, what a fancy name! This old lady don’t know much ’bout these expensive watches. But my neighbor’s kid, he’s always showin’ off his fancy stuff. He said this one, this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227G-010, is real good. He talk all big, but I think he just showin’ off. Said it’s a classic style. Whatever that means.
They say it cost a lot, this Patek Philippe. Like, more than what I make in a year! Can you believe it? $28,190! For a watch! Back in my day, we just needed a watch to tell time. Now they got these luxury watches, cost more than a house. This one, the 5227G-010, is white gold, I hear. 39mm big, whatever that means. Got some black thing on the face, and a black strap, made of leather or somethin’.
My neighbor’s kid, he said this Patek Philippe brand, is somethin’ special. Some folks wait a long time to get one. Like linin’ up for food during the hard times, but for a watch! He keeps goin’ on and on about this Calatrava thing. Sounds like a fancy word for somethin’ simple, if you ask me.
- Patek Philippe Calatrava, that’s the name.
- 5227G-010, that’s the number.
- White gold, they say. Sounds expensive.
- Black face, black strap. Looks simple enough.
- Costs more than my whole year’s work!
This watch, this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227G-010, it’s got some date thing on it too. So you know what day it is. Like we don’t know what day it is already! And they say it’s got some fancy gold markers. Probably just makes it more expensive. I don’t know why anyone needs all this fancy stuff on a watch. Just need to tell time, that’s all.
They talk about buyin’ it on some place called Chrono-somethin’. Sounds like a made-up word. But they say you can find it there, this 5227G-010 watch. Lots of them, they say. But who needs that many fancy watches? One’s enough to make you broke! This Patek Philippe company added this watch to their group in 2015. They been makin’ watches for long time, I guess.
My neighbor’s kid also said somethin’ ’bout a waitlist. Like waitin’ for your turn to get somethin’ good. Said this Calatrava ain’t as bad as some other watch, some Nautilus thing. I don’t know nothin’ ’bout no Nautilus. But waitin’ for a watch? That’s just silly. We used to wait for the rain to come, or for the crops to grow. Not for no fancy watch!
All these fancy words, Patek Philippe, Calatrava, 5227G-010, white gold, Chrono24… Makes my head spin! I reckon if you got the money, you can buy whatever you want. But for me, I’ll stick to my old watch. It tells time just fine. And it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg.
This classic style they talk about, I don’t see it. Looks like any other watch to me. But I guess some folks like that kinda thing. Me, I like things simple. Like a good cup of coffee in the mornin’, or a sunny day. Don’t need no fancy Patek Philippe to tell me that’s good.
But hey, if you like these luxury watches, and you got the money burnin’ a hole in your pocket, then go ahead. Buy this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227G-010. Maybe it’ll make you happy. But for me, happiness ain’t somethin’ you can buy. It’s somethin’ you feel. And you don’t need no fancy watch for that. No sir, not one bit.
I still think it’s all a bit much for a watch. All that money for somethin’ that just tells time. But what do I know? I’m just an old lady who likes things simple. These young folks today, they like their fancy things. This Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227G-010 is probably just another one of those things. A classic style for them, I guess. But for me, it’s just another expensive watch. That’s all it is. Expensive watch.
