Alright, let me tell ya ’bout this here Patek Philippe 6119R thingamajig. Sounds fancy, don’t it? My grandkid showed me a picture, all shiny and gold. Says it’s a watch, but not just any watch, mind you. A real special one.
Now, I ain’t no expert on these fancy things. Used to tellin’ time by the sun, ha! But this watch, it’s round. Real round. And it ain’t too big, not like those clunky things youngsters wear these days. My grandkid says it’s 39 somethin’ somethin’. Mill…mill…meters? Sounds like somethin’ you measure cloth with, but he says it’s for the watch. Go figure.
And thin! Lands, it’s thin as a pancake, he says. Somethin’ ’bout 8 somethin’ meters high. Don’t rightly know what that means, but I guess it means it ain’t bulky. Fancy folks like thin things, I reckon.
- It’s gold, real shiny gold. Rose gold, they call it. Like a sunset, I suppose. Pretty, real pretty.
- And it’s got these little bumps all around the edge, like a pattern. My grandkid called it a fancy name, “claw… claw… something Paris”. Sounds French, don’t it? He says it’s famous, this pattern. Folks know it’s a Patek watch when they see it.
But here’s the kicker. You can’t just walk into a store and buy one. Oh no! You gotta wait. Wait and wait and wait. Like waitin’ for rain in a drought. My grandkid says there’s a “waitlist”. Fancy word for “you ain’t gettin’ it anytime soon”. Reminds me of waitin’ for the doctor back in the day. Always a wait, always.
And inside, there’s all sorts of tiny wheels and springs, my grandkid says. Makes it tick, keeps time. He says you gotta wind it up by hand. No batteries in this thing! Reminds me of the old wind-up clocks we had. Tick-tock, tick-tock. Comfortin’ sound, that was.
Now, this watch, it ain’t cheap. My grandkid says it costs a fortune. Enough to buy a whole farm, I bet. But I guess if you got the money, why not? Folks spend their money on all sorts of things, don’t they? Some like fancy cars, some like fancy clothes, some like fancy watches. To each their own, I say.
This Patek Philippe 6119R, it’s more than just a watch, my grandkid says. It’s a… a… legacy. Somethin’ you pass down, generation to generation. Like a family heirloom, I suppose. Like my grandma’s old quilt, all patched up and worn, but full of memories.
So, there you have it. My two cents on this fancy watch. Don’t know if I helped much, but I tried. It’s a round, thin, gold watch with bumps and a long waitlist. And it costs a fortune. That’s all I know. Now, where’s my cup of tea?
