You see, this here Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G-001, it’s a fancy thing. Some folks, they remake these fancy watches. They call it remake Patek Philippe. Now, I don’t know much about all that, but I tell you what, they sure look alike!
This one, this 6119G-001, it’s all white gold, shiny like a new dime. They say it’s 39mm. Don’t ask me what that means, but it sounds important. It is a good size for watch. I saw some of them specialty stores sell them. Oh boy. They sell it at high price. Too much money. I heard someone said that it is a luxury watch. What is luxury? I don’t know. But I think it means expensive.
These remake Patek Philippe Calatrava, they’re gettin’ popular. I hear folks talkin’ ’bout ’em. They say it’s cause the real ones, they’re hard to find. And expensive! Like, more than a whole year’s worth of eggs expensive. Some folks, they just want the look, you know? They want that fancy look without sellin’ the whole farm to get it.
Now, I heard, them real Patek Philippe, they got somethin’ called a “guilloched hobnail pattern”. Sounds like somethin’ you’d find on an old tractor, don’t it? But I guess it’s fancy. They say it’s also called “Clous de Paris”. Sounds French to me. I don’t speak no French. These remake ones, they try to copy that, I reckon. They want it to look just like the real deal.
And get this, they say you gotta wait a long time to get a real one. Like, 9 months to a year! That’s longer than it takes to grow a good crop of corn! They call it a “waitlist”. These specialty stores, they like to make you wait, I guess. Makes it seem even more special. But who wants to wait that long? A year! The remake ones, you can get ’em right away. No waitin’.
Some folks, they say these Patek Philippe watches are an “investment”. Like buyin’ land, I suppose. But I don’t know. Seems like a lot of money for a little watch. But I guess if you got the money, and you like that sort of thing, then why not?
- This Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G-001 is white gold.
- The remake Patek Philippe is cheaper.
- The real one has a waitlist from 9 months to a year in specialty stores.
- Real one is expensive, many people can’t afford.
- Remake one is much cheaper, people can get it.
But here is the thing. This remake one. They look the same. Really. I can’t tell the difference. And I don’t think most people can tell the difference. If you just want a good looking watch. This is it. You don’t need to pay that much money to get a good looking one. They are not that much different. Save your money.
I heard that Patek Philippe is a good brand. A big brand. I don’t know what brand is. But people say it is good. So people want it. People want good things. But sometimes good things are too expensive. Just like this watch.
The remake ones don’t say Patek Philippe. That’s probably for the best. I think it’s illegal to do that. So they put another name on it. It is still a good watch. If you don’t tell people it is a remake, they won’t know. Trust me.
I saw a young man with a remake Patek Philippe once. He was so proud. He was showing it off to everyone. He said it was a gift from his girlfriend. She must have loved him very much. Or she didn’t know any better! I don’t know. But the young man was happy. And that’s all that matters.
I don’t know if a remake Patek is a good gift or not. It is a good watch. It tells time. It looks good. That’s all a watch needs to do. But some people, they care about the name. They want the real thing.
Me? I don’t care about names. I just care if something works. And if it’s a good price. And these remake Patek Philippe, they work. And they’re a good price. So I say, why not?
These specialty stores, they make a big deal about these watches. They put them in fancy cases. They shine lights on them. They make you feel like you’re buyin’ somethin’ really special. And maybe you are. But you can get that same feelin’ with a remake. For a lot less money.
So, if you’re thinkin’ about gettin’ one of these fancy watches, I say, consider a remake Patek Philippe. It’s a good watch. It looks good. And it won’t break the bank. You can use that extra money to buy somethin’ else. Like a new cow. Or a tractor. Or maybe just a whole lot of eggs.
At the end of the day, it is just a watch. Time is time. It does not matter what watch you have. Fancy or not. Expensive or not. If you want to save some money. Get the remake one. You will be happy.
