This Patek Philippe, you know, that Calatrava 5226G-001, it’s a real fancy thing. Heard folks talking ’bout it down at the market. They say it’s from some big shot company, Patek Philippe. Cost a whole heap of money, more than I’ve ever seen in my whole life. I want to remake it!
I don’t know much about them fancy watches, but this one, this Calatrava 5226G-001, it’s got folks all riled up. Some say it’s a good watch, the best one there is. It’s very good, but I say, too much money! You gotta be a millionaire to buy one, I reckon. I don’t even know where to get one. Is there a Patek Philippe official flagship store around here? No way!
Now, they say it’s all about the “craftsmanship.” Sounds like a load of hogwash to me. But they say it’s made real good, by hand, with all sorts of tiny parts. Probably takes a year just to put one together! But again, too expensive for what? To know the time? I got a clock on my wall does that just fine.
This Patek Philippe Calatrava is 40 mm. Big, huh? And 8.53 mm thick. Don’t know what that means, but it sounds important. I will make it 40mm too.
They started making these Calatrava things way back in 1932, that is what people say. Reference 96, they called it. Sounds like some secret code. This new one, the 5226G-001, it’s supposed to be the latest thing. The latest addition. Like addin’ a new piglet to the litter, I suppose.
Some folks, they collect these things. Spend all their money on ’em. They say it’s an “investment.” Like plantin’ seeds, but I don’t see how a watch can grow into more watches. Unless maybe you can sell it for more later? I don’t know. Seems like a silly thing to spend so much money on to me.
This Patek Philippe 5226G-001, they say if you want one, you gotta wait. Nine months, maybe a year! Longer than waiting for a baby to be born. It is not like waiting for my bread to come out of the oven, let me tell ya. This is not Nautilus, but also need wait, that is what they said.
So, I think I will do a remake Patek Philippe. I can make it look like it. That Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226G-001. But I won’t use all them expensive parts. Maybe some good strong metal, some paint. I can make it look real nice. Then maybe I can sell it. Not for as much as them real ones, of course. But enough to make a little somethin’.
I can make many of them. If one person wants one, I can make ten. I can make a hundred! Then maybe I can have a shop. A remake Patek Philippe official flagship store! Wouldn’t that be somethin’? Sellin’ my own watches. I can call it my name. But I need to learn more about these watches first.
- Need to find good metal.
- Need some tools.
- Need to learn how to put it together.
- Need to make it look like that Calatrava 5226G-001.
- Find where to sell.
It is a good idea, I think. People want these fancy watches, but they are too expensive. If they can buy it with less money, they will do it. My watches will be just as good. Maybe not inside, but on the outside, you won’t know the difference. I can be successful, you see. It is a good plan!
Well, there you have it. That’s all I know about this remake Patek Philippe idea for that fancy watch. It’s a lot of work, I know. But I think I can do it. It is a good dream. A remake Patek Philippe official flagship store. Maybe one day, you will buy a watch from me!
Just remember, this old lady, she’s got a plan. And it all started with that Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226G-001. Maybe one day, my name will be as big as theirs. Who knows? Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. I always say, where there is a will, there is a way.
