Okay, so I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a Patek Philippe Calatrava 5088/100P-001 for a while now. It’s a real beauty, but the price tag? Whoa, it’s way up there! The retail price is something like $105,820, and even on the used market, it’s around $83,000. That’s a lot of dough.
I started looking around online, you know, just to see what my options were. I checked out a few places, like “Catawiki” where they have a lot of auctions. I saw the Patek Philippe Calatrava 5088/100P-001 was there! This site claims its in-house experts that pick stuff to sell every day. They have 22 categories to choose from or something like that. Sounds pretty cool, right?
I also looked at “Chrono24”, a big watch selling platform. I found a bunch of listings for the 5088/100P-001 there too, with different prices and conditions. I compared a few listings, but that price…still a bit too scary for me.
What I Did
- Searched Online: I started by searching for the watch on a bunch of different websites.
- Compared Prices: I looked at the prices on a couple of websites to see what the going rate was.
- Looked at Pictures: I spent a lot of time staring at pictures of the watch, just admiring it.
- Read Reviews: I tried to find reviews from people who actually owned the watch, but there weren’t many out there.
In the end, I still haven’t bought the watch. It’s just too much money for me right now. But, I’m not giving up! I’ll keep saving, and maybe one day I’ll be able to add this beauty to my collection. For now, I’ll just keep dreaming and looking at pictures online.
