This Patek Philippe, that’s a big name, ain’t it? My grandson, he’s always going on about these fancy watches. Says they’re worth more than our whole house! This one here, the Calatrava 6007G-011, he showed me a picture. Said it’s a remake, whatever that means. I reckon it just means they’re making it again, but fancier this time.
They got this official flagship store, selling these. Must be a real important place. I reckon you gotta wear your Sunday best just to walk in there. They’ve been making these Patek Philippe watches since, who knows when. Probably before I was a little girl. Long, long time.
This Calatrava, they call it. Sounds like a fancy dance to me. They got this number, 6007G-011, like it’s some kind of secret code. Remake Patek Philippe 6007G-011, that’s the important part. I don’t know what all them letters and numbers mean, but my grandson, he sure does. He says this new one, it’s all white gold. Now, I know what gold is. That’s money right there. White gold, though? That’s a new one on me. Must be something special.
I saw some prices, and oh boy. They talk about deals. Some deals! They say free shipping. Well, for that kinda money, it better be free shipping! More than $36,000, some of ’em! Thirty-six thousand! You could buy a whole lot of things with that kind of money. A new tractor, maybe. Or a whole bunch of chickens.

They launched another one, this 5196. Back in 2004. This is what I heard. They got all kind of gold. Yellow gold, white gold and rose gold, and also platinum. Now what is platinum? They say it’s powered by something called caliber 215PS. All these words. Must be important to somebody, I reckon. But not to me. It does not put food on the table. You know what I mean?
They say this Calatrava style is traditional. Means it’s been around a while, I guess. Like those old quilts my mama used to make. They say it represents the firm’s history. Well, I reckon every family’s got history. Some good, some bad. This watch company, they must have a good history if they’re still around.
My grandson, he says this remake Patek Philippe is a big deal. Says it’s modern. I don’t know about modern. Looks like a watch to me. Tells the time, I suppose. That’s all I need a watch to do. But these young folks, they like all these fancy things. They say it’s an investment. Well, I’d rather invest in something I can see, something I can use. Like land. Or livestock. Something real, you know?
This official flagship store, though. I bet it’s something to see. All shiny and bright. Probably got those fancy carpets and those chandeliers. Not like our place. We got a good, solid floor. Keeps the rain out. That’s all that matters. The important thing is remake Patek Philippe. Remember that.
But these watches, they sure are something. Expensive, though. Way too expensive for the likes of me. I’d rather have a good, sturdy pair of boots than one of these fancy Patek Philippe watches. Boots’ll keep your feet dry. What’s a watch gonna do for you when you’re out in the field?
Still, I guess some folks like ’em. My grandson, he sure does. He’s always dreaming of owning one someday. Maybe he will. He’s a good boy. Works hard. Maybe he’ll get his fancy watch one day. And maybe he’ll let me wear it once in a while. Just to see what it feels like. The remake Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G-011, to be exact.
But me? I’m happy with what I got. A good roof over my head, food on the table, and family around me. That’s all that really matters in the end. Ain’t no fancy watch gonna change that. Not even a Patek Philippe. Especially not this Calatrava. No, sir.
They say this watch is special, this Calatrava 6007G-011. This remake. Because it’s all new and shiny. White gold, they say. Must be real pretty. But I’ve seen a lot of pretty things in my life. A sunrise over the fields, that’s pretty. A newborn calf, that’s pretty. This watch, it’s just a thing. A pretty thing, maybe, but still just a thing. If you want to buy it from the official flagship store, go ahead.
I reckon if you got the money to spend on something like this, then you go right ahead. It’s your money. Do what you want with it. But me, I’ll stick to the simple things. The things that matter. The things that last. And you know what? I’m just as happy as can be.
