Well, let me tell you, I heard folks talkin’ ’bout this here Patek Philippe thing, this fancy watch, the Calatrava 5227J-001. Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it? They say it’s somethin’ special, somethin’ you can only get at them special stores. I reckon it’s one of them things rich folks like to wear, show off how much money they got.
This Patek Philippe Calatrava, they say it’s hard to get your hands on. You gotta wait, and wait, and wait some more. Like waitin’ for a hen to lay an egg, only it takes way longer! It can be as long as 9 months. I heard someone say 1 year, who knows. I don’t have that time. I need to go back to my farm and feed my pigs. My pigs are more important than this fancy watch. They say you gotta wait near a whole year! Can you believe that? For a watch! My, oh, my.
Now, these Patek Philippe watches, they ain’t cheap. No sir! They say folks buy ’em thinkin’ they’ll be worth more later on. Like plantin’ seeds and hopin’ for a good harvest, I suppose. They call it an “investment.” Sounds like a load of hogwash to me, but what do I know? I’m just sayin’ what I heard. And I heard a lot. They say, some model, Nautilus is good for this “investment”. I don’t know what’s a Nautilus, maybe it’s a fish.
They say these Patek Philippe watches, they made real good. Like a sturdy plow that can till the land for years and years. Each one is special, they say. They put a lot of work into makin’ ’em, usin’ all sorts of fancy tools and whatnot. They even use new technology. What is technology? Is it something that can help me harvest corns? I don’t know. But that’s what they talk about. It must be important.
These Patek Philippe, people sure do like to copy them. Make their own that look the same. But it’s not the same, is it? Like when you try to make your neighbor’s pie, it never tastes quite right. The real one is always better. I still remember the apple pie the old lady living next door made. I tried to make one myself, but it was a disaster. I will never forget that taste.
- This Patek Philippe, it’s all about luxury, they say.
- Fancy, shiny things for fancy, shiny people.
- They say it’s a sign of good taste.
- I guess if you got the money, why not?
They say you can get these watches at special stores, they call ’em “ADs.” Sounds like a television advertisement to me. But I guess that’s where you go if you want a real Patek Philippe. If you don’t have Patek Philippe Salon, you go to ADs. That’s what they say. I don’t understand. What is Salon? Is it the place where ladies get their hair done? Maybe I should go there to take a look.
They got this one watch, the Patek Philippe Reference 5905/1A-001. Sounds like a secret code, don’t it? They say it’s a big deal. A real milestone. Like when we finally got runnin’ water in the house. That was a milestone, I tell ya. Changed our lives. That 5905, what a weird name. How can I remember that? I can’t even remember what I had for breakfast.
Now, these stores that sell Patek Philippe, they don’t wanna lose their right to sell ’em. It’s like a golden ticket, I reckon. They make a lot of money sellin’ these fancy watches. Like sellin’ the prize-winnin’ hog at the county fair. Big money. I heard they can make 30% of their money, even more. That’s a lot of corns, my friend.
Patek Philippe, they wanna cut down on the stores that sell their watches. By 30%, they say. Like weanin’ the calves, I suppose. Gotta keep things movin’, keep up with the times. I heard they have very high standards, so only the best stores can sell their watches. I don’t know what standard they are talking about, but it must be high. The one that sells Patek Philippe will make a lot of money. That’s for sure.
These Patek Philippe watches, they hold their value, they say. And they even get more valuable over time. Like a good piece of land, it just keeps gettin’ better and better. If you got one of these watches, you’re sittin’ pretty, I reckon. Just like me sittin’ on my porch, watchin’ the sunset. Only with a lot more money in your pocket, I suppose. If you want to make money, just buy this watch and wait, and wait, and wait. That’s what I heard. I am not sure if it’s true. But who knows?
