Well, let me tell ya ’bout this here watch, the Patek whatchamacallit…Patek Phili-Patek, yeah, that’s it. The PP Calatrava 6007G-010. Fancy name, huh? Don’t know much about these fancy things, but I’ll tell ya what I see.
First off, it’s shiny. Real shiny. Like, the kind of shiny that makes ya squint on a sunny day. They say it’s white gold. Gold, like them rich folks wear. This one, though, it’s white. Not sure how that works, gold’s usually yellow, ain’t it? But hey, what do I know? It’s purdy, that’s for sure. And it’s round, like a pancake, but smaller. They say it’s 40 somethin’ millimeters. Mill-ee-what now? Just means it ain’t too big, not too small, jest right for a man’s wrist, I reckon.
Now, the face, that’s somethin’ else. It’s black, real black, like a crow’s feather. But it ain’t just plain black. It’s got all sorts of stuff goin’ on. Little lines and dots and triangles, all over the place. They say it’s “geometric,” sounds like somethin’ from school. All I know is, it’s kinda busy, but in a good way. Keeps yer eyes movin’, ya know? There’s numbers, too, but not the regular kind. Just little sticks, mostly. And the hands, they’re pointy and shiny, easy to see, even for my old eyes.
And get this, around the edge, there’s this little track, like for a train. Only teeny-tiny. And it’s got little dots of color on it. Red and yellow and blue, I think. Makes it look kinda playful, not so serious. Which is funny, ‘cause this here watch costs more than my ol’ pickup truck, probably. They say it’s a “classic” design. Means it’s been around a while, I guess. Like them old hymns they sing in church. Still good, even after all these years.
- Shiny white gold case, real purdy.
- Black face with all sorts of lines and dots, kinda busy but nice.
- Pointy, shiny hands, easy to see.
- Little track with colors around the edge, makes it playful.
- Costs a whole lot, more than my truck, for sure.
They say this Patek Philippe, this Calatrava thingamajig, is real special. That it’s made by folks who know what they’re doin’. That they’ve been makin’ watches since way back when. 1839, they say. That’s a long time ago, even before my grandpappy was born. And they say it’s precise, keeps good time. Not like that ol’ cuckoo clock I got, always goin’ off at the wrong hour. This here watch, it’s supposed to be reliable. You can count on it, they say. Like a good neighbor, always there when ya need it.
Now, where can ya get one of these fancy watches? Well, I hear tell there’s online stores. You know, on that there internet thingy. My grandson, he’s always on it. Says you can buy just about anything, even a Patek whatchamacallit. But be warned, it ain’t cheap. They say it’s like, thirty-some thousand dollars. Dollars! That’s enough to buy a whole new house, back where I come from. But I guess if you got the money, and you want somethin’ fancy and reliable, this here Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G-010 might just be the ticket.
Looking for a “Patek Philippe Calatrava Listing”? Well, you might see somethin’ like “$34,999 Patek Philippe Calatrava Black”. That’s a lot of dough! They also call it a “ref. 6007G-001” sometimes. Or a “6007G-010 Calatrava”. All them numbers and letters, makes my head spin. Just remember it’s that shiny, round watch with the black face and the colorful dots. The one that costs more than a car. Yeah, that one.
And if you’re lookin’ to buy one, make sure it ain’t broke. They say these things come with a “warranty,” means they’ll fix it if it goes bad. But only for a while, so don’t go bangin’ it around. Treat it nice, like you would a newborn baby. Or a prize-winning pie. ‘Cause somethin’ this fancy and this expensive, well, it deserves a little respect. Even if it does cost more than a perfectly good pickup truck.
So there ya have it. My take on this here Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G-010. It’s shiny, it’s fancy, it’s expensive, and it tells time. Probably better than my ol’ rooster, anyway. If you got the money, and you want somethin’ special, go ahead and get one. But me? I’ll stick with my old Timex. It ain’t pretty, but it gets the job done. And it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg. And that’s all that matters, right?
