This here watch, this Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119R-001, it’s a real fancy thing. Some folks, they call it a “luxury watch.” I reckon it’s somethin’ special, alright. They got these here specialty stores, just for sellin’ these kinda things.
Now, I ain’t never been to one of them stores. But I hear tell, they real fancy. This one, the 6119R-001, it’s got a shiny gold case, rose gold they call it. 39 mm, that’s what they say. Don’t know what a millimeter is, but it looks about right for a man’s wrist. A big man, mind you. Not for some scrawny fella.
They say it’s got somethin’ called a “hand wind movement.” Means you gotta wind it up yourself. Ain’t no batteries in this here fancy thing. And it’ll keep tickin’ for, now get this, 65 hours! That’s more than two whole days. I reckon that’s pretty good. My old clock, it needs windin’ every day.
They got all these numbers, like 96, 6119R, 30-255 PS… Sounds like a whole lotta hogwash to me. But I reckon the folks buyin’ these things, they know what it all means. They say this here Calatrava, it’s been around a long time. Since 1932, I heard! That’s older than dirt! They was makin’ these watches way back then.
- This 6119R, it’s got a little dial at the bottom.
- They say it’s for the seconds.
- Keeps track of ’em tickin’ by.
And the back, you can see right through it! They call it a “sapphire crystal case back.” Looks like glass to me, but I reckon it’s somethin’ special. You can see all them little gears and things movin’ around in there. It’s kinda neat, I gotta admit. I seen them in the specialty stores from the outside. That’s as far as I get with these places.
Patek Philippe, that’s the name of the folks makin’ these watches. Been doin’ it for a long, long time. Over 182 years, someone told me! That’s a whole lotta years. Must be doin’ somethin’ right, I reckon. That’s a lot of tickin’ and tockin’ if you ask me.
This here Calatrava 6119R-001, it’s got a fancy pattern on the dial. They call it “Clous de Paris.” Sounds French to me. I don’t know no French, but it looks kinda like a bunch of little squares all lined up. They say this Patek Philippe 6119R-001 is a new version of these things. It’s for the big shots, you know? I don’t know about that. All I know is what I see and what people tell me.
I heard someone say this here watch is “collectible.” Means folks like to collect ’em, like stamps or somethin’. I reckon if you got the money, you can collect whatever you want. I see them all the time in the window of the specialty stores. They look expensive.
They tell me this kind of watch, a Patek Philippe, holds its value. That means if you buy it for a big pile of money, you can sell it later for a big pile of money. But this isn’t my kind of world. I don’t know if I’d ever want that kind of responsibility on my wrist.
- 39 mm case, they say that’s big.
- Rose gold, shiny and pretty.
- Gotta wind it up yourself.
- See-through back, kinda neat.
- “Clous de Paris” pattern, looks fancy.
This 6119R-001 Calatrava, if you want to know the price, you gotta go to one of them specialty stores. They don’t just put the price out there for anyone to see. You gotta ask. Or you can try and look it up on the computer. Some folks are selling them online. But you gotta be careful about buying things that way. I’d rather see what I’m buying in person before I pay any money.
So, there you have it. That’s what I know about this here Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119R-001. It’s a fancy watch, for fancy folks. Sold in them fancy specialty stores. Me? I’ll stick to my old Timex. It tells the time just fine. And it don’t cost an arm and a leg. You can probably get a good watch that does the job for a lot less money.
But hey, if you got the money to burn, and you want a fancy watch, this Patek Philippe 6119R might just be the thing for you. Just remember what I told ya. It’s a whole lotta money for somethin’ that just tells the time. But I reckon some folks, they like that sort of thing. I guess if you want to show off, this is the watch to do it with.
I see a lot of folks walking around with fancy watches. It’s not my place to judge. Everyone has different tastes and different amounts of money in their pockets. As long as you don’t go broke buying one of these, I suppose it’s alright. It takes all kinds to make a world, as they say.
