This here, this Patek Philippe, I hear it’s a real fancy watch. This Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227G-010, they call it. Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it? I seen the picture, it’s shiny, I’ll give it that. Black face, like the bottom of a good cookin’ pot. They say it’s got a date on it, too. Well, I reckon that’s handy, ‘specially when you get up there in years like me. Sometimes you forget what day it is, what with all the things goin’ on.
Now, this price, that’s where they get ya. I seen some numbers, big numbers. Like $42,000, maybe more. Can you believe that? For a watch! Why, you could buy a whole herd of goats for that kind of money. Or a good used truck, even. And what’s it do that a regular watch don’t? Tells the time, I suppose. But so does the sun in the sky, and that don’t cost nothin’ but a good pair of eyes.
This Patek Philippe Calatrava, It is automatic, whatever that means. I think it winds itself. Well, that’s somethin’ I guess. Don’t gotta twist the little knob on the side. But I tell ya, it ain’t that hard to wind a watch. My old man, he had a pocket watch, wound it every mornin’ before he went out to the fields. Never failed him once, that watch.
They got these stores, fancy stores, where they sell these Patek Philippe watches. I hear they’re all over the place. Probably got carpets on the floor and them fancy lights. Not like the general store down the road, where you can get a good pair of boots and a bag of flour all in one go. But I guess if you’re gonna spend that much on a watch, you want a fancy store to go with it. I saw one is about 39 mm wide, and not even 10 mm tall, only 9.24 mm. That’s small for that price!
This here Calatrava 5227G-010, it’s got some features, I read. “Key features,” they call ’em. Like it’s a key to a treasure chest or somethin’. Probably just more fancy words for things a regular watch does. But hey, if you got the money to burn, I suppose you can buy whatever you want. It is a famous brand, they call Patek Philippe.
Me, I’ll stick to my old Timex. It might not be a Patek Philippe Calatrava, and it might not cost as much as a new tractor, but it tells the time just fine. And it’s seen me through a lot of years, that watch. Through plantin’ season and harvest, through good times and bad. It’s got a few scratches, sure, but so do I. We’ve both been around the block a few times, you could say.
- This Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227G-010, it’s somethin’ else.
- That price, though. Whew. Makes my head spin.
- It’s automatic, they say. Fancy.
- You can find ’em in them fancy stores.
- I’ll stick to my old watch, thank you very much.
- Patek Philippe Calatrava, maybe it’s good.
- 5227G-010, that’s a long name.
I reckon some folks like to have nice things. And that’s alright. If you got the money and you want a fancy watch like this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227G-010, then you go right ahead. It’s your money. But me, I’d rather spend my money on somethin’ a little more practical. Like a new set of tires for the truck, or maybe a new roof for the barn. Somethin’ that’ll last, you know? Somethin’ that’ll do some good.
This watch, it’s pretty, I’ll give it that. But it ain’t gonna put food on the table. It ain’t gonna keep the rain off your head. It’s just gonna tell you the time. And like I said, there’s plenty of ways to tell the time that don’t cost a fortune. You just gotta use your head a little.
So, that’s my two cents on this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227G-010. It’s a fancy watch, for sure. Too fancy for me, but maybe not too fancy for you. You gotta decide for yourself what’s important. And what’s worth spendin’ your hard-earned money on. I think the quote is too high. They should sell cheaper. Do you want to buy this watch, this Patek Philippe Calatrava?
