Yo, listen up, you young’uns! This old gal’s got somethin’ to say about that there fancy Remake Patek Philippe PP Calatrava 5088/100P-001 watch, the one they sell in them specialty stores. Lordy, that’s a mouthful!
That Patek Philippe Price Tag
Now, I heard tell this Patek Philippe 5088/100P, it ain’t cheap. They say it costs more than my whole house did back in the day! Somethin’ like $105,820, if you can believe that! And I heard some folks are sellin’ it for ’round $83,000 or $88,000. Imagine that, spendin’ all that money on a little ol’ wristwatch! Back when I was a girl, we were lucky to have a pot to you-know-what in, let alone a fancy watch.
I don’t know nothin’ ’bout no price charts or historical price trends for this Patek Philippe 5088/100P. What in tarnation does that even mean? All I know is, it’s a whole heap of money. More money than I’ve seen in my whole life, that’s for sure.
What’s So Special ‘Bout This Watch?
They say this Patek Philippe Calatrava 5088/100P is somethin’ special, somethin’ called “handengraved.” Sounds like a lot of fancy words for somethin’ that probably takes a long time to do. I guess that’s why it’s so expensive. They also call it a “Calatrava” and “5088/100P.” Like a secret code or somethin’.
- They say it’s made of platinum. What’s platinum? Is that like silver?
- It’s got a black face, they call it “black enamel.”
- It’s about 38 mm big, whatever that means. Sounds small to me.
- It’s only 8.3 mm thick. Thin as a pancake, I reckon.
- It winds itself, ain’t that somethin’? No need to crank it up like them old clocks.
This here Patek Philippe, it’s supposed to last for 48 hours once it’s all wound up. Two whole days! That’s longer than I can go without needin’ a nap these days.
It’s All Greek to Me
Now, I ain’t never seen one of these Patek Philippe Calatrava 5088/100P-001 watches in person. But I seen pictures. Looks mighty shiny, I’ll give it that. But I still can’t understand why anyone would pay that much for it. Must be somethin’ them city folk like.
They call it a “luxury” watch. I reckon that means it’s somethin’ special, somethin’ not everyone can have. Like them fancy cars them rich folks drive. This here remake Patek Philippe is only sold in them specialty stores, I reckon. Probably gotta wear a suit and tie just to walk in the door.
Too Rich for My Blood
This old gal, I’m happy with my old Timex. Tells the time just fine, and it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg. I don’t need no Patek Philippe Calatrava 5088/100P-001 to tell me what time it is. I got a rooster for that, and he don’t charge me nothin’!
But I guess if you got the money to burn, and you want somethin’ fancy on your wrist, then this Patek Philippe might be just the thing for you. It’s a pretty thing, I suppose. But it’s a bit rich for me. It’s a whole lot of money for somethin’ that just tells the time.
Maybe it’s an Investment
My grandson, he’s a smart one. He says these fancy watches, like this Patek Philippe 5088/100P, they’re like an investment. Says they might be worth even more money someday. I don’t know about all that. Seems like a gamble to me. But what do I know? I’m just a simple gal.
He says there are folks who collect these things, like stamps or them baseball cards. They buy ’em and sell ’em, tryin’ to make a profit. Sounds like a lot of work to me. I’d rather be sittin’ on my porch swing, watchin’ the world go by.
But who am i to judge, right? It’s their money, not mine, and this is a free country. They can buy a Patek Philippe, or a new tractor, or nothin’ at all. It’s all the same to me, so long as they don’t come askin’ me for a loan! I worked hard for every dollar, and these fancy watches don’t make you work any harder.
Don’t Forget What’s Important
These young folks today, they get all caught up in these fancy things. They forget what’s really important in life. Like family, and friends, and a good home-cooked meal. Those are the things that really matter, not some Patek Philippe Calatrava 5088/100P-001 watch on your wrist.
But I reckon everyone’s got their own dreams, their own things they want in life. And if this Patek Philippe is somethin’ you want, and you can afford it, then more power to you. Just don’t forget the things that really matter. And don’t forget to call your grandma every once in a while!
Well, I reckon that’s all I got to say about that. This old gal’s gettin’ tired. Time for my nap. And I don’t need no fancy Patek Philippe to tell me that!
