Well, let me tell you, I heard some folks talkin’ about this here Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G-001 thing. Sounds fancy, don’t it? They say it’s a remake, somethin’ called an “original order.” I don’t know much ’bout these fancy things, but I’ll tell ya what I heard.
This Patek Philippe, it’s a watch. A right fancy one, I reckon. They say it’s got somethin’ called a “Calatrava.” Sounds like a place, maybe? Or a dance? This Calatrava thing, it’s been around a long time, since way back in 1932, someone told me. An Englishman named David Penney, he’s the one who thought it up. Smart fella, I guess, to make somethin’ that lasts so long.
Now, this 6119G-001, it’s made of somethin’ called “white gold.” White gold! Imagine that. Must be worth a pretty penny. And it’s a certain size, 39mm, they say. And 8.08mm thick. Not too big, not too small. Just right, maybe, for a fancy wrist. And the strap is made of alligator! Can you believe it? Alligator leather. Remake Patek Philippe sure sounds expensive!
They say this Calatrava, it’s got a special pattern, somethin’ called “Clous de Paris.” Sounds French, don’t it? Must be somethin’ real special. They say it makes the watch look even fancier. I guess if you’re gonna wear a white gold watch with an alligator strap, you want it to look fancy, right? That’s what this Patek Philippe Calatrava is all about, lookin’ fancy.
- This watch, it’s got numbers on it, but they ain’t regular numbers.
- They’re made of that white gold, and they’re cut special, all pointy-like.
- And the hands, the things that tell the time, they’re special too. “Dauphine-style,” they call ’em.
Some folks say these Patek Philippe watches, especially the Calatrava ones, are worth a lot of money. They say people collect ’em, like some folks collect stamps or them little porcelain dolls. And this 6119G-001, it’s one of them collectible ones. I heard someone say you gotta wait a long time to get one of these watches. Like, years! It’s a long wait time for Patek Philippe. Imagine waitin’ years for a watch! Must be somethin’ real special, this remake Patek Philippe.
Now, I don’t know if I’d spend my money on somethin’ like that. Seems like a lot of fuss for a watch. But some people, they like that sort of thing. They say it’s an investment. Like buyin’ land, I suppose. But land, you can grow things on. What you gonna grow on a watch, I wonder? This Patek Philippe investment is only for rich folks.
This Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G-001, it’s got a gray face. Charcoal gray, they call it. And it’s got this shiny look, like satin. I reckon that’s that “vertical satin finish” they talk about. Sounds fancy, don’t it? I guess if you’re payin’ all that money, you want it to look fancy.
They say these Patek Philippe watches, they’re complicated. Not like a regular watch that just tells the time. These ones got all sorts of doohickeys inside, I reckon. And that makes ’em worth more, they say. Especially these “Complications” ones. They are a wise Patek Philippe investment, if you believe it.
Some folks say you can sell these watches for a lot of money, even more than you paid for ’em. They call it the “resale market.” Sounds like a fancy flea market to me. But I guess if you got money to spend on a white gold watch with an alligator strap, you probably know all about that sort of thing. You can buy this Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G-001 for about 26,000 dollars. That’s a lot of money!
Well, that’s all I know about this Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G-001 original order thing. It’s a fancy watch, for fancy folks, with a lot of money. Me, I’m happy with my old watch. It tells the time just fine. And it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg. But if you like the sound of this white gold, alligator-strapped, Clous de Paris, Calatrava thingamajig, then maybe it’s for you. Just be prepared to wait a long time and spend a whole heap of money! And remember, it’s just a watch. It ain’t gonna make you a better person. But it might make you feel a little fancier, I suppose. And for some people, that’s worth somethin’.
