Alright, alright, lemme tell ya ’bout this here watch, the Patek Philippe, somethin’-somethin’ 6007G-010. Folks call it a “re-make,” whatever that means. Sounds fancy, huh? Like they messed it up the first time and had to do it all over again. Hmph! Anyways, it’s a watch, and a shiny one at that.
This Patek thingy, the Calatrava, I heard it’s a big deal. City folks get all worked up over it. Me? I just need somethin’ to tell me when it’s time to feed the chickens and when it’s time to go to bed. But this one, they say it’s special. It’s got that white gold stuff, makes it heavy, ya know? Like a good ol’ cast iron pan, but way more expensive, I bet.
- First thing, this watch, it’s got a round face. Plain and simple, just like a good plate. No fancy squiggles or nothin’.
- And the numbers? Big and clear, even these old eyes can see ’em. Thank the Lord for that! Nothin’ worse than squintin’ at a watch and still not knowin’ if it’s time for supper.
- The strap, well, it’s leather, I think. Feels kinda smooth, like that fancy saddle my husband bought years ago, before he… well, never mind that. It’s a nice strap, that’s all that matters.
Now, they talk about the “movement” inside. Says it’s somethin’ special, somethin’ that makes the watch tick real smooth. I don’t know nothin’ ’bout that. To me, a tick is a tick. As long as it keeps tickin’, I’m happy. But these city folk, they go on and on about gears and jewels and whatnot. Sounds like a whole lotta fuss over nothin’ if you ask me.
Buyin’ this Patek thing, the Calatrava 6007G-010, well, that ain’t somethin’ you do at the corner store, I’ll tell ya that much. You gotta go to them fancy shops, where they got folks in suits and ties standin’ around. Makes me nervous just thinkin’ about it. They probably look at you up and down, like you ain’t got no business bein’ there.
And the price? Don’t even get me started! Heard it costs more than my whole farm! For a watch! Can you believe it? I could buy a whole herd of cows for that kinda money. But I guess, if you got money to burn, and you wanna show off, then this is the kinda thing you buy. Me? I’d rather have a new tractor.
This “re-make,” they say it’s a bit different from the old ones. A little bigger, maybe a little shinier. I don’t know, looks like a watch to me. But I guess, if you’re one of them watch collectors, these little differences matter. They get all excited over a tiny little change, like it’s the most important thing in the world. Bless their hearts.
So, if you’re thinkin’ ’bout gettin’ yourself a Patek Philippe PP Calatrava 6007G-010, well, you better have deep pockets and a strong back, ’cause that thing’s gonna weigh you down, both in your wallet and on your wrist. But hey, if it makes you happy, then go for it. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you realize you coulda bought a whole lotta chicken feed with that money.
They say this Calatrava model ain’t the first of its kind. Nope, they been makin’ these things for years, apparently. Each one a little different, I guess. Like twins, but not quite. One might have a bigger nose, the other might have a crooked smile. You get the picture. This 6007G-010, it’s just the latest in a long line of fancy watches. And I bet it won’t be the last.
And this watch, it’s made of white gold, they keep sayin’. Not yellow gold, not rose gold, but white gold. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Like somethin’ out of a fairy tale. But to me, gold is gold. Whether it’s yellow, white, or pink, it’s still just metal. But I guess, to them city folk, the color makes all the difference. They probably got a whole chart somewhere, explainin’ the different shades of gold. Lands sakes!
Anyways, that’s all I gotta say ’bout this here watch. It’s a Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G-010, it’s expensive, it’s shiny, and it tells time. If that’s what you’re lookin’ for, then go ahead and buy it. Just don’t expect me to understand why you’d spend so much money on somethin’ that does the same thing as that old clock on my kitchen wall.
