You see, this here Patek Philippe, it’s a fancy name, ain’t it? They call it the Calatrava 5088/100P-001. My oh my, that’s a mouthful. This ain’t your average watch. Not like the ones they sell down at the five and dime. This one, this is somethin’ special.
Now, I heard tell this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5088, this original order thing, you know, it’s for folks with deep pockets. They got money to burn, I reckon. Not me, no sir. I got chickens to feed and bills to pay, just like everyone. But I can still look, can’t I? And I heard from folks that they sell this watch for about $105,820. And some folks might sell it for $85,044. Who has that kind of money?
This Patek Philippe, it’s a big deal. Been around since, let me think, 1839. That’s a long, long time. Longer than I’ve been alive, that’s for sure! And two fellas started it, Patek and Philippe. Sounds kinda foreign to me, but what do I know?
They say this Calatrava 5088 is special because it’s got all these fancy doohickeys on it. “Volutes” and “Arabesques,” they call ’em. Sounds like somethin’ you’d see in a fancy picture book. It’s black, you know, the watch face. Black as a moonless night. And 38mm, that’s what they told me. It is not a big number.
I seen pictures of it, this Patek Philippe Calatrava. It’s pretty, I’ll give it that. Shiny and all. But I bet it tells time just the same as my old watch. Maybe a little fancier, though. Maybe. Still, it’s nice to look at.
- Patek Philippe, that’s the name.
- Calatrava 5088/100P-001, that’s the model, they say.
- $105,820, that’s a lot of money, ain’t it?
- Black face, shiny, real fancy looking.
- Been around since 1839, that’s a long time!
Now, some folks, they get these things on Amazon. That place where you can buy near ’bout anything. Clothes and all sorts. I don’t know much about that Amazon, though. I just stick to the general store. They got everything I need there. But this Patek Philippe Calatrava, that is for some special people. They can afford it, good for them.
This FCT, they sell it too, this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5088. They say it’s 38mm, black, and got those fancy “Volutes” and “Arabesques.” Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it? They sell these watches to all sorts of folks, I reckon. Folks with more money than sense, maybe. But it is a beautiful watch. It’s somethin’ to behold, that’s for sure. It is a nice watch for those rich people.
This Patek Philippe Calatrava 5088, it’s somethin’ else. This is some fancy watch for people with a lot of money. It’s pretty, shiny, and black. Costs more than my whole house, I bet. But it tells time, just like any other watch. Maybe I’ll just stick to my old one. It works just fine. And it don’t cost a fortune, neither. But it’s always nice to dream, ain’t it? It is always nice to dream about those fancy things. You know, if you want to have a good watch, just go get a Patek Philippe, if you have the money of course.
They make these new ones, keep making them, so it is not too old. You can still buy them new. They call it “current production.” But they are very expensive, though. If you want to buy a good watch from someone, not from the store, you will pay more. You know, like a middle man thing. This Patek Philippe is not for people like me. It is just too expensive. A regular person can not afford it.
I heard some folks buy these Patek Philippe Calatrava watches and then sell them. Like a used car, I guess. But the price is still high! Even used, it’s still a lot of money. More money than I’ve ever seen, that’s for sure. The Patek Philippe Calatrava is very hot, I think. Many people want it, so the price is always high.
So, this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5088/100P-001, it’s a fancy watch, that’s for sure. Pretty, shiny, and costs a whole lot of money. It’s somethin’ to see, but not somethin’ for everyone. Just like them fancy cars or them big houses. Some folks have ’em, some folks don’t. But it’s always fun to look, ain’t it? It is always fun to look at those nice things.
