Well, let me tell you about this here Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227R-001. They say it’s a fancy watch, costs more than a whole bunch of cows, I reckon. Some folks, they call it a “dream watch.” I don’t know ’bout that, but it sure is shiny!
They say it’s the “official flagship store” one. Sounds important, right? Like it’s the king of all them Patek Philippe watches. This one, it’s got a rose gold case, whatever that means. Looks kinda reddish gold to me. And it’s got a brown strap, made from alligator skin! Can you believe it? An alligator! We used to see them gators down by the creek sometimes, but never thought they’d end up on a watch!
This 5227R-001, it’s supposed to be real special. They say it’s “classy” and “elegant”. Means it looks real good, I guess, all polished up and such. Not like my old Timex, that’s for sure. That thing’s been through the wringer, seen more mud than a hog in a wallow. But this Patek Philippe, it’s meant for show, not for work.
It’s got these gold hands, they call ’em “dauphine-style”. Don’t ask me what that means. Just means they point at the numbers. And the numbers ain’t regular numbers, they’re just little marks. Makes it a bit hard to read the time, if you ask me. But I suppose fancy folks don’t need to know the time down to the minute. They probably got people to tell ’em what time it is!
- It costs like $35,000! Can you imagine?
- It’s the most expensive gold Calatrava.
- It is said to be a dream watch.
- Some people say it is hard to read time on this watch.
They say this watch, it’s got a “sapphire crystal case back”. Sounds like something a princess would wear. And it’s got a “dust cover”. Imagine that, a cover to keep the dust off! My old watch, it gets dusty all the time. I just blow it off! But this one, it’s too precious for that, I guess.
This Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227R-001 also has a water-resistant thing, up to 30 meters. I don’t know many people who go that deep underwater. Maybe them deep-sea divers do. They also say it’s 39 mm in diameter and 9.24 mm in height. Sounds tiny to me, but I guess it’s a good size for a watch.
And the movement, they call it “Cal. 30-255”. Sounds like a gun caliber to me. It’s got 27 jewels. Jewels! Inside a watch! It’s a tiny thing, too, but they say it’s powerful. It can keep ticking for 66 hours without you winding it up. That’s longer than I can go without a nap these days!
I saw on one of them websites, Chrono-something, they’re selling this Patek Philippe Calatrava for over $44,000! With free shipping, though. Well, that’s something, I suppose. You can even compare prices and buy it there. But who’s got that kind of money lying around?
There is this company, Alan Furman or something, they sell these watches. They say they are authentic. I hope so! For that price, it better be real! I wouldn’t want to be fooled by a fake one. That would be a shame.
This Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227R-001 for sale is all over the internet. It is a popular watch I guess. But for me, it’s just too much. I’d rather spend that money on something useful, like a new tractor or a good milk cow. Or maybe a whole bunch of chickens! That’s what I’d do. This 5227R-001, it is just for rich folks I guess.
The main evolutions compared to the previous model are the crown guards, they say. Whatever that means, I don’t know. There are some tags people use to describe this watch, like Patek Philippe and Calatrava 5227. Seems like this 5227 is a big deal in the watch world.
Well, that’s all I know about this fancy Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227R-001. It’s a pretty thing, I’ll give it that. But it’s not for me. I’ll stick to my old Timex. It might not be fancy, but it tells the time just fine. And that’s all that matters to me. Besides, I got better things to spend my money on than a gold watch. Like a new rocking chair for the porch. Now that’s something I could really use!
