This here, it’s about that fancy Patek Philippe watch, the Calatrava 5088/100P-001. You know, the one them rich folks wear. My old eyes ain’t what they used to be, but I seen pictures. This one, it’s a remake, an “original order” they call it. Sounds fancy, but really just means it’s a copy, I reckon.
Now, this Patek Philippe 5088/100P, it’s a real pricey thing. I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout it down at the market. Said it costs more than my whole house! Can you believe that? They say the real one, the one them rich folks buy, costs a fortune. Like, over a hundred thousand dollars! Lord have mercy. This remake one, it’s cheaper, but still a lot of money for an old gal like me.
They say this Calatrava watch, it’s got all sorts of fancy stuff. Engravings, they call it. Like fancy writin’ all over it. And black enamel. Sounds like somethin’ you’d paint your nails with, but I guess it’s fancy for a watch. This 5088/100P-001, it’s got a number on it, too. Every watch does, I guess. Like a secret code or somethin’.
- They say the real Patek Philippe, it’s got this special cross on it. The Calatrava Cross, they call it. Fancy, huh?
- And the straps, they got writin’ on ’em too. The name of the watch, and that cross again.
- The buckle, where you fasten it, that’s got the name too. Patek Philippe.
This watch, this Calatrava 5088/100P-001, they say it’s real thin. Like a little pancake. And it’s made of some fancy metal. Platinum, they call it. Sounds expensive. Don’t know much about metals, ‘cept that gold is worth a lot. This one’s probably worth a lot too.
You can’t see no numbers on the back of a real Patek Philippe, I hear. But this remake, this “original order”, it might have some numbers back there. Like they tryin’ to trick ya. The real 5088/100P only have these numbers on the inside, where you can only see if you open it up. Fancy.
They say this Calatrava 5088/100P, it winds itself. Don’t need no crankin’ like my old clock. Just wear it around, and it keeps on tickin’. For almost two whole days, they say. That’s somethin’, ain’t it?
This watch face is all black with the designs, it is a sight to behold. This Patek Philippe 5088/100P-001 is not for the likes of me. You need some real money to get a watch like this. Not like the watches they sell down at the five and dime store. Those ones, they break after a week or two. This one, it’ll probably last forever.
Some folks, they like to buy these fancy things. Show off, I reckon. Me, I’m happy with my old watch. It tells the time, and that’s all I need. But this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5088/100P-001, it’s somethin’ else. A real piece of work, they say. If you got the money. This remake is cheaper than the real thing, this Patek Philippe, but I still say it is a lot of money for a watch.
I seen some fellas down at the feed store talkin’ about this watch, the 5088/100P-001. They said they saw it online. On one of them fancy watch sites. Said they had a bunch of ’em, all lined up. Different prices, too. Depends on if it’s new or used, I guess. Just like buyin’ a used tractor, only a lot more money.
This Calatrava, it’s a real fancy name for a watch. Sounds French, maybe. I don’t know no French, ‘cept “parlez-vous” and “bonjour.” But it sounds fancy. Like somethin’ them movie stars would wear. Or them rich folks up on the hill. Not for regular folks like us, I reckon.
Now, this “original order” thing, that’s what they call this remake, the Patek Philippe 5088/100P. They say it is made just like the real thing, but not by that Patek Philippe fella. Made somewhere else, probably. Still, they say it’s good quality. For a copy, that is. I wouldn’t know, never seen one in person.
If you’re thinkin’ ’bout gettin’ one of these Calatrava 5088/100P-001 watches, the remake, that is, you best be careful. Lots of folks out there tryin’ to trick ya. Sellin’ fakes and whatnot. You gotta know what you’re lookin’ for. Like that Calatrava Cross, and the writin’ on the strap. And the numbers on the back. Or no numbers, I should say. It is a mess, ain’t it? This whole Patek Philippe thing.
Well, that’s all I know about this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5088/100P-001 watch. It’s a fancy thing, that’s for sure. Too fancy for me, but maybe not for you. If you got the money, and you like that sort of thing, then go for it. Just be careful out there. And don’t come cryin’ to me if you get tricked. I told ya it was a mess.
