Borel & Barbey with Yoko Ono on theft of John Lennon’s watch
Borel & Barbey has advised artist Yoko Ono in her action to recover a Patek Philippe watch belonging to her late husband John Lennon.
The rare watch, stolen in 2005, was a gift by Mrs. Ono for her husband’s 40th birthday. The proceedings, which opened in 2014, are now closing.
