Help My 5164 Was Stolen This Week
Very sad to report my 5164 was stolen off my wrist this week at gun point. I was attacked outside my office by a group that was waiting for me. Horrible feeling as I loved the piece and waited so long to acquire it. Very thankful however it wasn't worse. I'm going to send the police report to Patek but any other suggestions on recovery? Be careful out there!

Fortunately it sounds like you were not physically harmed,
Police report is about the only recourse, unless Patek maintains a database of stolen pieces
Sorry to hear about your loss,
glad you were unharmed. Definitely sounds like you were targeted.
So sorry to hear that.
That’s awful. If you care to share, what city and state were you in?
Sorry to hear this sad situation but happy that you were not hurt physically.
Sending the police report to Patek is the right move. I would also inform your AD and see if there might be another piece that could be allocated to you.
Feel so sorry about this. At least you weren't harmed physically.
It's not stolen but rather robbed at gun point. How about notifying all major auction houses as well with the serial number? I'm not sure whether they will act on it, but at least when the watch is handed over to them for auctioning they know it is a ques...
Patek will add a stolen watch to their database if you have a police report
also it is worth adding the details to watohregister.com m Good luck Julian
Terrible!! Where was this with the guns???
Glad it wasn’t more serious and you were not harmed.
Wow that’s terrible.
I hope you’re ok. It’s probably an inside job - someone who works for you or a client likely saw it and informed “the crew”. I know that’s probably not making you feel better. I hope you had it insured for the after market amount.
What a terrible feeling it must have been...
The most important thing is that you weren't harmed
Sorry to see this…
It’s odd that they would notice that watch unless they were really targeting you, as it’s normally not as recognizable as say a Rolex President or even a Nautilus on bracelet. The rubber strap really tones it down in terms of flash. It’s sad that you can’...
So sorry to hear, it sounds terrifying, good though that you're safe
I'm going to the States in a few days and was actually planning to wear my 5164, but I may change my mind now...
That’s terrible news
Good that you are safe.. safety in the USA has gone downhill.. one needs to be more discreet when wearing luxury watches..
