This here watch, they call it Patek Philippe, fancy name, huh? My grandson, he’s always on about these things. Says it’s a PP Calatrava 6119R-001. Sounds like a mouthful to me. Just a watch, I say, but he says it’s special. This one, it’s a remake, like when they make that old song again but a little different.
They say it’s worth a lot of money. Big money, like more than what I made in a year selling eggs. I don’t know, seems like a lot for something that just tells time. My old clock does that just fine. But folks like these fancy things, I guess. They say it’s luxury. Whatever that means. It’s shiny, I’ll give it that.
This Patek Philippe Calatrava, they say it’s all made real good. Like my quilts, but I reckon much smaller stitches. They say it’s a status symbol. Like wearing your best dress to church, I suppose. Makes you feel important, maybe. But me? I’d be scared to wear it. Might scratch it or lose it. Too much worry for an old gal like me.
They say this one, this 6119R-001, it’s all new. Came out just this year. Like a new calf being born, all fresh and shiny. It’s got a big number on it, 39mm. Don’t ask me what that means. And 8.08mm, another one. Maybe that’s how big it is. Like measuring a pie, I reckon. And it can get a little wet, 30 m, like a little splash, but don’t go swimming with it!
If you want one, gotta wait, they say. Could be a long time, like waiting for the corn to grow. Sometimes, they say you gotta wait 8 years. 8 years! For a watch! That’s like waiting for a whole new grandbaby to grow up. But for this one, the Calatrava, maybe just a year. Still a long time, if you ask me.

They made a lot of these Calatrava watches over the years. Like making a lot of apple pies, each one a little different. Some folks, they collect them, like I collect my chicken figurines. They say these watches are worth a lot. Like some old coins, the older they are, the more they’re worth. I got this old plate and I think that’s a good deal.
This new one, this 6119R-001, it’s got some fancy name. “Clous De Paris”. Sounds like some fancy French food. And it’s 18k RG, they say. Don’t know what that means, but it sounds important. Maybe it’s like the gold in my wedding ring. That’s all I know about gold.
My grandson, he showed me a picture. It’s all gold-colored, this PP Calatrava 6119R-001. Shiny, like a new penny. I guess some folks like that. Me, I’m happy with my old watch. It tells the time just fine, and I don’t have to worry about losing it or breaking it. It’s seen a lot of years, that watch, just like me.
But these young folks, they like these new things. They like to quote the price, like it’s some kind of contest. I heard them talking, one time. They said this Patek Philippe, it costs more than a car! Can you believe that? A watch that costs more than a car! I’d rather have a car, myself. At least you can go places in a car.
Now, my neighbor, she got one of them remake watches, and she told me a lot. I remember she told me it is a good quote. She showed it off at the church social last week. All the ladies were looking at it. She was so proud. Said it was a Patek Philippe. I just smiled and nodded. It looked nice, I guess, but I wouldn’t trade my old watch for it. Too many memories in this old thing.
I guess if you got the money, and you like fancy things, then maybe this Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119R-001 is for you. It’s a lot of money, but some folks say it’s worth it. Like buying a prize-winning pig at the county fair. It’s expensive, but it’s the best, they say.
Me? I’m happy with what I got. I got my family, my chickens, and my old watch. That’s all I need. But if you want to spend your money on a fancy watch, well, that’s your business. Just don’t come crying to me if you lose it! These things happen, you know. Especially with something so small and shiny.
