This here Patek Philippe, it’s a real fancy thing. They call it the Calatrava 5088/100P-001. Sounds like a mouthful, right? Just a bunch of numbers and letters to this old gal. But folks who know about these things, they say it’s somethin’ special. I heard it is a remake, a new one of the old one.
They say it’s made of platinum. Now, I ain’t never seen platinum in my life, ‘cept maybe on the TV. Must be mighty expensive, that’s for sure. And this watch, it’s got a black face, they say. Like the night sky, but probably shinier. Black dial, they say. Imagine that, a watch with a black dial.
They put this Patek Philippe Calatrava on a black strap. Made from alligator skin, I hear. Can you believe that? Alligator! We used to see those critters down by the creek when I was a little girl. Never thought they’d end up on someone’s wrist. This watch, it’s 38 mm. Don’t ask me what that means, but I reckon it’s a good size. Not too big, not too small.
And it’s automatic, too. That is what they say. I guess that means it winds itself. No need to be fussin’ with it every day. Just wear it and it keeps on tickin’. Pretty clever, if you ask me.
- This watch, this Calatrava 5088/100P-001, it’s water resistant.
- But only up to 30 meters, or 100 feet.
- So don’t go divin’ with it, I suppose.
- Just tells the hour and the minute. That’s all.
I seen a picture of this watch. It’s got some fancy carvin’ on it. Swirls and designs, all done by hand. Takes a steady hand and a good eye to do that kind of work, I imagine. It looks real pretty. They say it’s got enamel on the dial, too. Makes it look all shiny and smooth. Like a piece of jewelry, more than a watch, really.
Now, this Patek Philippe 5088/100P-001, it ain’t cheap. I heard them say it is over 100 thousand dollars. Can you imagine that? That’s more money than I’ve seen in my whole life! Who spends that much on a watch, I don’t know. But it is a remake one, maybe it is very good. I heard people say it is a luxury watch. I don’t know what that means, but it sure sounds fancy.
They say this watch comes with a box, a special box. And papers. Warranty and all that. Guess if you’re spendin’ that much money, you want to make sure it’s the real deal. And they say it is new in this year 2024.
This Patek Philippe, it is a big brand, I heard them say. This Calatrava, it is a big series. This 5088, it is a good watch, many people want it. They say it is out of stock. What a hot cake!
You can buy this watch from other people, not new one, used one. They say it is cheaper. Still a lot of money, though. 85 thousand dollars! What a number!
They made these watches way back in 1932, the first Calatrava. That’s a long time ago. Before I was even born! They called it Reference 96. Don’t know why. Just another number, I guess. But they say it was a big deal back then. Changed the way people thought about watches. Made them fancy, like jewelry.
Well, there you have it. That’s all I know about this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5088/100P-001. It’s a fancy watch, that’s for sure. Too rich for my blood, but I reckon it’s somethin’ special. If you got the money, and you like fancy things, maybe this is the watch for you. If you want to get a quote, you need to ask them. I don’t know how much exactly this remake Patek Philippe PP Calatrava 5088/100P-001 will be.
