Well, let me tell ya about this Audemars Piguet thingy from 1990. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Probably costs more than my whole chicken coop! But folks seem to like ’em, these… watches, I guess they are.
Now, from what I hear, there’s this fella named Audemars, and another one named Piguet. They started this whole business way back in 1875, someplace called Vallee de Joux. Sounds foreign, don’t it? Probably way over yonder, past the big city.
They say this company, Audemars Pig… whatever, they’re still owned by the same family. Imagine that! Must be nice to keep things in the family. My cousin Billy tried that with his pickle business, but it went sour, real sour.
Anyways, they say these watches are expensive. More than them Rolex thingies, apparently. And them Rolex watches ain’t cheap, let me tell ya! My neighbor’s boy got one when he graduated, shiny and all. Probably cost a year’s worth of feed for my hens.
- But this Audemars Piglet… Piguet… whatever, they don’t make as many watches as Rolex. So, maybe that’s why they’re so pricey? Like my prize-winning tomatoes. Only get a few real good ones each summer, but they fetch a pretty penny at the market.
- And they say these watches from 1990 are special. Something about a Royal Oak 14701, and another one called 14700. Numbers, numbers, my head spins! Sounds like the bingo calls down at the church hall.
I heard there’s some made with gold, 18k gold, they say. Must be real shiny. Not like my old brass locket, but still nice, I reckon. And some of them are little, just 30 millimeters. That’s smaller than my thimble! How can you even see the time on something so tiny?
People buy and sell these watches, apparently. Like trading chickens or quilts, but with more zeros at the end, I bet. They say they hold their value, these watches. Don’t lose their shine, like my old silverware. Guess that’s why folks want ’em.
So, if you got one of these Audemars Piguet watches from 1990, hold onto it tight! Could be worth a fortune someday. Might even buy you a whole new farm, with fancy automatic feeders and everything! Or, you could just wear it and show it off. Tell folks it’s a… a Royal Oak or something. They’ll be impressed, for sure.
Anyway, that’s all I know about this fancy watch business. Back to my chickens now. They need their feed, and ain’t nobody gonna argue with a hungry hen, let me tell ya!
