He tell me about this Patek Philippe, PP Calatrava, what is that. He keep saying 6007G-011. I don’t know these words. I only know numbers. He say there is an official store, sell this watch. I say why you not buy from there? He say too expensive!
Patek Philippe, So Expensive!
This Patek Philippe, he say it is a good watch. I look at it. It look shiny, I admit. But so what? Can it tell time? Yes. Can my old watch tell time? Also yes. So why is it so expensive? He keep saying Patek Philippe is good, is famous. I say, I never heard of it. He say it’s like a treasure. I say, gold is a treasure. This watch, I don’t know.
Patek Philippe 6007G-011
This 6007G-011, he show me picture. It look blue. Like the sky, but darker. He say it is fancy design. I say, my old dress have better design. This one, it just blue. He say it is made of white gold. I say, gold is gold, why call it white? He just shake his head. He say this watch, very special. I say, my embroidery, that’s special. Each stitch, I make myself. This watch, who make it? He say, some factory.

- 6007G-011, what a number
- Blue, just blue
- White gold, I don’t get it
He say this Patek Philippe, have history. I say, what history? He say, it been made since 1839. I say, I am old too, you don’t see me shining. He say, they make good watches. I say, time is time, what is good or bad? He don’t listen. Young people, always like these fancy things.
Official Store Sell Expensive Watch
He say, there is a store. Official flagship store, he call it. They sell this 6007G-011. I say, how much? He tell me the price. I almost fall down! So much money! For a watch! I say, you can buy a cow with that money. He say, but it’s Patek Philippe. I say, Patek Philippe can give milk? Patek Philippe can plow field? No! He just laugh. Young people, they don’t understand.
He say, this 6007G-011, it’s a remake. I say, what is remake? He say, they make it again, but new. I say, why make it again if it’s already made? He say, because people like it. I say, people like many things. People like to eat. You see them eating same food every day? No! This remake, it’s just a way to make money, I think.
Remake Patek Philippe, Still Expensive
This remake Patek Philippe, it look same as the old one. My grandson, he show me pictures. I say, what’s the difference? He say, this one, it’s more modern. I say, what is modern? He say, it’s new style. I look at it. It look same to me. Maybe a little different color. But still blue. Still round. Still have numbers. I don’t see what’s so modern. He say, people will buy it. I say, people have too much money.
- Remake is just make again
- Modern, I don’t see it
- Still expensive, too expensive
- People have too much money, waste it on watch
He keep talking about this Calatrava. He say it is a style, a design. Like my old jacket, it has a style. I understand that. But this Calatrava, it’s just a name, I think. They put it on the watch to make it sound fancy. I say, my name is simple. But I am still me. This watch, it can have many names. It is still just a watch.
My grandson, he want this watch. He say he will save money. I say, save money for good things. For land. For house. For family. He say, this watch is a good thing. I shake my head. I don’t understand these young people. They like these shiny things. They like these fancy names. Me, I like simple things. I like things that last. This Patek Philippe, maybe it will last. But will he still like it when he is old like me? I don’t know.
Patek Philippe, Just a Watch
In the end, it’s just a watch. It tell time. That’s it. This Patek Philippe 6007G-011, it’s just a watch. This Calatrava, it’s just a name. This official flagship store, it’s just a store. This remake, it’s just a way to sell more. My grandson, he can buy what he want. But me, I know what is important. Family. Health. Good food. A warm house. These things, they are more important than any watch. Even a Patek Philippe.
