This watch, this Patek Philippe 5236P, it’s somethin’ else. Shiny and fancy, like them city folk wear. Heard it’s called a “Grand Complications.” Sounds complicated to me. All I know is, it tells the time, day, and date all in a straight line. That’s kinda neat, I reckon.
Price of That 5236P Watch
Now, they say this 5236P watch costs more than my whole house! Somethin’ like $141,400. Can you believe that? And folks are buyin’ it used for $94! For that much money, it better cook and clean too! Lord have mercy, what’s this world comin’ to when a watch costs more than a car?
It’s made of some fancy metal, platinum they call it. Must be why it’s so pricey. My old watch, it’s just regular metal, and it works just fine. This Patek Philippe 5236P, it’s 41.3mm big, they say. I don’t know what them “mm” things are. Is bigger better? And it’s 11.5mm thick. Sounds kinda bulky to me, but what do I know? I just wear ’em, I don’t make ’em. But they are sayin’ it’s slim. Well, everything is relative, I guess.
That Fancy 5236P Thing Inside
They’re makin’ a big fuss about the insides of this 5236P watch. They call it a “movement.” Sounds like somethin’ that should be happenin’ in your bowels, not in a watch. This one’s called “31-260 PS QL.” What a mouthful! My old watch just ticks. This one probably does a whole song and dance in there. They say it’s new and special. Probably took ’em a while to figure out how to get all them numbers in a row.
And it is slim! Only 11.07mm thick! I don’t know how they do it. And the window where you can see the date and everything, is only 2.05mm. So small! How can people even read that? I need my glasses for everything!
- That 5236P is expensive!
- It’s made of platinum.
- It’s got a new “movement,” whatever that is.
- It shows the date all in a line.
- It cost more than most people cars!
They say it took ’em a long time to make this Patek Philippe 5236P. Well, I reckon it did! Lots of tiny little parts in there, I bet. More parts than I got teeth in my head! They say this watch proves that Patek Philippe is a real watchmaker. I never thought they were not. I mean, they are making watches, so they have to be watchmakers, right? I’m just sayin’, this watch, it’s a lot of fuss for somethin’ that just tells the time. My old watch does that too, and it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg.
Why folks buy this 5236P?
I guess some folks just like to have the best of everything. And this 5236P, it’s supposed to be the best. They say it’s a “masterpiece.” Like one of them fancy paintin’s, but for your wrist. I reckon if you got the money, why not? But for me, I’d rather have a new roof on my house than a watch that costs more than my car.
This new movement thing, the 31-260 PS QL, they say it brought three new things. What are these things? I don’t know. They say nothin’ about that. I guess you have to be rich to understand these things. But they must be good if they brought three new things with this new movement.
This Patek Philippe 5236P, it’s a mystery to me. Why it costs so much, why folks want it so bad, why they gotta make it so complicated. But I guess that’s the way of the world these days. Everything’s gettin’ fancier and more expensive. Me, I’m happy with my simple life and my simple watch. It tells the time, and that’s all I need it to do. But I do have to admit, seein’ all the information in one line, that is somethin’ else. But still not worth that much money!
But hey, if you got the money burnin’ a hole in your pocket, and you want a watch that’s more complicated than a whole family reunion, then this 5236P might just be the watch for you. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you can’t afford to buy groceries ’cause you spent all your money on a wristwatch! You hear me? Just sayin’.
