Theft of Richard Mille and Patek Philippe watches in Nice
In Nice, two men were victims of attacks for the theft of high-value luxury watches: a Richard Mille and a Patek Philippe.
The series of thefts of luxury watches, often Swiss, continues in France. This time, the incidents took place in Cannes, during the Yachting Festival, bringing together more than 500 boats on display. Around 10:30 p.m., a 58-year-old man, residing in Switzerland, was leaving a restaurant on the Croisette when he was attacked. An unknown individual suddenly grabbed his arm to steal his luxury Swiss watch, a Richard Mille with an estimated value of 200,000 euros.
A few days later, on the same boulevard, an American tourist accompanied by his partner and their child suffered a similar fate. An attacker violently pushed him from behind, causing him to fall to the ground before stealing his luxury watch, a Patek Philippe valued at 70,000 euros, also made in Switzerland.
