This here Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227R-001, it’s a real fancy thing. You know, them rich folks, they love this kinda stuff. They call it a “remake” and “original order”. I don’t know what that means, but it sounds expensive, and it is!
They say this Patek Philippe, it’s been around. Lots of these Calatrava watches. Some folks, they collect ’em. Like stamps, but way pricier. Old ones, new ones, they got ’em all. They say this one, the case, is 39 mm. And it’s 9.24 mm thick. Now, I ain’t got a ruler on me, but I reckon that’s about this big. And it can go underwater, 30 meters they say. Don’t know why you’d take a fancy watch swimmin’, but there ya go. It has this back made of glass, see-through, but it is protected by a cover.
They started makin’ these things, these Patek Philippe Calatravas, way back, 1932 I heard. Reference 96. Same year some family, Stern I think they call ’em, bought the whole shebang. They made the faces, the dials they call it, for these watches. Now they own the whole thing.

This watch, it’s got these tiny little jewels inside. 29 of ’em! Can you imagine? And somethin’ called a “shock absorber.” Like a car, but smaller. Much, much smaller. And it moves real fast inside. They said this watch, the 5227R-001, it’s a newer one, from 2013. Got a rose gold case. Fancy, huh? I saw the price, $41,710! Can you believe that? For a watch! Some people sell it for $29. That is still a lot of money.
I seen some other numbers for this watch. 50 of them. 52 of them, they say. This Patek Philippe 5227R. Some selling them online. For $32. Year of production 2023. They say they have the box and paper. Must be important. I mean for that much money it should come with a house!
This here Patek Philippe 5227R-001, it’s somethin’ else. It’s got two things, they say, that are special. One’s the Calatrava, that’s like a famous watch, a simple one. And somethin’ else. It’s all mixed together in this one watch.
I don’t know much about these fancy things. But I know it is expensive. And, well, it tells time, I suppose. That’s what watches do, right? But for that kinda money, it should do more than tell time. It should probably cook ya dinner and do the laundry too, that is right.
You want one of these Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227R-001 watches? You better start savin’ your pennies. And your nickels. And your dimes. And your quarters. And probably sell a cow or two.
This Calatrava 5227, it’s a pretty thing, I guess. Shiny and gold. But me? I’m happy with my old watch. It tells time just fine. Don’t need no jewels or rose gold or any of that. Just need to know when it’s time to feed the chickens and when it’s time for supper.
But hey, if you got the money, and you like this kinda thing, then this Patek Philippe, it’s probably a good one. They say it’s one of the best. So there ya have it. That’s all I know about this Patek Philippe 5227R-001. Expensive, fancy, and probably not for the likes of me. Or you, probably. But them rich folks, they sure do love ’em.
I heard one time that one of these Patek Philippe Calatrava watches, the old ones, they can be worth more than a new one. Like an old piece of furniture. Some folks like that old stuff. They say it’s got history. I guess that’s true. Everything’s got history, if you think about it. Even this old watch of mine. It’s seen a lot of sunrises and sunsets, that’s for sure.
This 5227R-001 Patek Philippe, they say they are luxurious. I don’t know. Seems like a lot of money, but they say it is worth it. I will stick to my old one. It tells time. That is enough for me, right?
Well, that’s about all I can tell ya about this here fancy watch. Hope you learned somethin’. I know I did. Learned that some folks got more money than sense, maybe. But to each their own, I always say. To each their own.
