You know, that Patek Philippe, it’s a big name, right? Big name! Like, everyone knows it. And this here Calatrava 5227J-001, oh boy, it’s somethin’ else. It’s simple, not all flashy like some of them watches. But it’s good, real good. They call it the original order, I heard.
This one, it’s got that round face, like a proper watch should. Not like them new-fangled squares and whatnot. Just a good, round face. And it’s gold, you see? Yellow gold, they call it. Shiny and pretty. 39 mm, they say it is. I don’t know much about them millimeters, but it looks just right. Not too big, not too small. Just right for a fella’s wrist, I reckon.
They been makin’ these Calatrava things for years and years. Lots of ’em. Folks like to collect ’em, especially the old ones. They call ’em vintage. Like old furniture, but for your wrist. This 5227J-001, though, it’s new. Came out in 2013, I think someone said. It’s a new kind of that old Calatrava style. Fancy folks say it’s a modern something… interpretation, that’s it.
- It winds itself, this watch. Ain’t that somethin’? No need to be crankin’ it all the time.
- It’s all neat and tidy inside. Lots of little parts, they say. 217 parts! Can you imagine?
- That gold, it’s 18ct, whatever that means. Sounds fancy, don’t it?
Inside, they got this thing called a caliber 324 S C. Sounds like a car engine, don’t it? It’s what makes it tick, I guess. They say it beats fast, like a little heart. 28,800 somethings per hour. I don’t understand it, but it sounds important. And that glass on the front, they say it don’t scratch easy. That’s good, ’cause I’m always bangin’ my hands on things.
This Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227J-001, it’s the real deal. It’s like that old Calatrava, the simple one they made way back when, but all spiffed up. It’s like… takin’ somethin’ old and makin’ it new again. Like when I patch up my old quilt. Same old quilt, just with new bits added on. And, well, folks are sayin’ it’s gonna cost ya. Somethin’ like 32,380 of them British pounds. That’s a lot of money for a watch, ain’t it?
This is a luxury watch. That’s what they call it. For rich folks, I reckon. But even us regular folks can appreciate a nice thing, can’t we? It’s like a piece of art, almost. Just a little piece of art you wear on your wrist. It’s simple, but it’s got somethin’ special about it. Somethin’ that makes you look twice. This original order is really a good deal for those who know about it.
They say it’s a gentleman’s watch. But I think a lady could wear it too. Why not? It ain’t too flashy, like I said. Just a good, solid watch. A watch that’ll last you a lifetime, I bet. And maybe even longer. You could probably pass it down to your kids, and they could pass it down to theirs. A family heirloom, they call that.
So, if you got the money, and you want a good watch, this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227J-001, it’s a good one. It’s a remake, but a good one. It’s got that old Calatrava style, but it’s new and shiny. It’s simple, but it’s fancy at the same time. It’s just… a good watch. I don’t know what else to say. It just is, and this original order is a bargain, I say.
- Patek Philippe, that’s the name. Don’t forget it.
- Calatrava 5227J-001, that’s the one you want.
- Gold, shiny gold.
- Simple, but good.
Yep, that’s the watch. It’s a good one. Trust me. I know about these things. Well, maybe not. But I know what I like. And I like this watch. It’s a keeper. You won’t regret buying it, that’s for sure. And the original order is a good deal.
