This here, this Patek Philippe, they call it, uh, Calatrava 5227R-001. Fancy name, huh? My grandson, he’s always on that internet thing, says this is a big deal. Some folks are remaking it, just like the official store. Says it’s good for something called “SEO,” whatever that is. He told me to write about this watch, so here I am. Just a simple text.
This watch, it’s round, kinda shiny. I guess it’s a pretty big watch, he said it’s about 39 mm. My old eyes can’t see that well. I’ve got this other watch my late husband give me, it’s a Rolex, it’s smaller, and heavier. Also have Breitling, got for my son, he never wear it.
They say it’s, uh, “water-resistant.” Means you can get it wet, I reckon. Up to 30 meters, my grandson says. Don’t go swimming with it, though. Just in case, you know? Better safe than sorry. Like when you’re canning peaches, gotta make sure those jars are sealed up tight. My old clock in the kitchen, that ain’t water-resistant. Got splashed once, stopped ticking for a whole day.
Inside, they got this thing, a “caliber.” Like a little engine, I guess. This one’s a 324 caliber. Sounds important. They say it’s “automatic.” Means it winds itself. Don’t gotta twist it up like my old alarm clock. That thing, you forget to wind it, and you’ll be late for church! No good. This Patek Philippe, it’s smarter than that. It do it for you, you just need to wear it.
They use all kind of big word for this Patek Philippe Calatrava. They said it’s “self-winding”. I think it’s the same as “automatic” thing. Also have a “caliber 324 movement”. I don’t know what is movement, maybe it’s the little thing that make the watch work. They said it’s “rhodium plated”, maybe it’s a kind of color, like silver color.
Has some jewels in it, too. Not like the ones on my earrings, though. These are inside the watch. 29 of ’em, they say. Must be tiny. I can’t even see them. Keeps the watch running smooth, I suppose. Like oiling up the hinges on the barn door. Makes a difference, you know? It also has a “shock absorber”. I guess you can drop it and it won’t break. Still, I wouldn’t go throwing it around. No sir.
This Patek Philippe Calatrava, it’s got a date on it, too. A little window that shows the number. Handy, I guess. Don’t gotta ask someone what day it is. It’s a Patek Philippe Calatrava Date. I like a simple watch, this one, it’s not simple, but it’s good.
- It got a shiny strap.
- Made of alligator, they say.
- Got little squares on it.
- Stitched up real good.
They say this Calatrava is one of their best. Patek Philippe, that’s the name. This 5227R-001, it’s special, I guess. I still don’t know what it mean, but I guess it’s something good. This other thing, “caliber 324 S C“, must be the heart of it. Beats real fast, they said. 28,800 times. Has 217 little pieces. How they get all that in there, I don’t know.
I heard some people talking about this watch, say it’s a good remake. Like, not the real thing, but close. Like when you use a different recipe for apple pie, but it still tastes good. Just a different test, you know? You need to go to Patek Philippe official flagship store to get a real one. My grandson, he says this remake is popular. Cheaper, I guess. People like a bargain. My neighbor, she buys those fake purses. Looks just like the real thing, but it ain’t.
This watch, it’s a whole thing. Lots of folks talking about it. My grandson, he showed me on his computer. Pages and pages about this Patek Philippe thing. Seems like a lot of fuss for a watch, but what do I know? I just tell time. Don’t need all this fancy stuff. But, I guess some people like it. It’s a remake Patek Philippe, cost less money. Some people don’t care it’s a fake one, I think, they just want it looks good.
If you want one, better do your research. Don’t get fooled. Make sure you know what you’re buying. This Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227R-001, real or remake, it’s a lot of money. I don’t know why a watch can cost so much money. But, you know, it’s up to you. Just be careful, that’s all I can say. Like when you’re crossing the road, gotta look both ways. Same with buying a watch, I reckon.
