This here Patek Philippe, they call it, fancy name, huh? Calatrava 5227R-001. Big, long name for a watch. My old eyes ain’t what they used to be, but I can still see this one’s a looker. Shiny and all that. Remake, I think. Not the real one, I guess. But look like the real one, that’s for sure.
They say it’s classic style. Yeah, I reckon it is. Reminds me of that old clock my grandpa used to have. Not as fancy as this, of course. His was just plain wood. This one here, it’s all gold-like. Rose gold, they call it. Sounds like something you’d find in a fancy garden, not on a watch.
This remake Patek Philippe, it got a number, see? 5227R-001. That’s how they tell ’em apart, I guess. Like how we used to brand the cows back in the day. Each one got a different mark. This one, the 001, mean it’s special, maybe the first copy. I don’t know these things for sure. Just guessing.
They say it’s 39mm. Don’t know what that means. Probably the size of the thing. Sounds big enough to me. Big enough to see the time without squintin’ too hard. And got a Date, I think. That’s good. Hard to remember the date sometime. Especially when you get old like me.
- Automatic, they say. Self-winding.
- Don’t need to wind it up yourself.
- That’s something, I guess.
- My old watch, you had to wind it every day.
- This one, it just does it on its own.
Price? Well, I heard it ain’t cheap. Even this remake Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227R-001. They say you can find deals, though. Gotta look around. Like bargain hunting at the market. You never know what you might find. But I know this remake is cheaper than the real one. A lot cheaper, I think.
They say this Patek Philippe 5227R-001 got jewels in it. Not real diamonds, I expect. But something shiny, I bet. Makes it work better, they say. Like oiling the old tractor. Keeps things running smooth. 27 jewels, that’s what I heard. That’s a lot of little shiny things in there.
It’s got something called a Gyromax balance. No idea what that is. Sounds complicated. Probably something to do with keeping time good. My old clock used to run fast sometimes. Had to fix it with a little hammer. This one, I bet you can’t do that. Too fancy for a hammer.
This here remake Patek Philippe, it’s got a number, 30-255. And 28,800 vph. I think that’s how fast it goes inside. Like the heartbeat of a mouse, real fast. Then this thing say “minimum 66 hours of power reserve”. I don’t know, mean you can leave it for 66 hours and it still work? That’s good I guess.
Sweep seconds, they call it. Means the little hand goes around smooth, not tick-tock like the old ones. Fancy, huh? Like a smooth ride on a new-fangled car instead of a bumpy old wagon. This Calatrava 5227R-001, it’s a smooth operator, I reckon.
Rose gold, they keep saying that. Must be important. Makes it look pretty, I guess. Like a rose, but gold. That’s a new one for me. This Patek Philippe, it’s full of new things. Things I never even heard of before.
So, this remake Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227R-001, it’s a fancy watch. Even if it’s not the real deal. Looks good, keeps time, probably lasts a long time. That’s all you really need in a watch, ain’t it? If you got the money, I reckon this classic style is good enough. I mean, who will know it is a remake?
They put this little thing, they said it is “specially integrated”. Mean it fit good, I guess. No loose part. That’s good. You don’t want your watch fall apart, right? This Patek Philippe 5227R-001, look like it made good. Strong, like a good work horse.
