Was it being shipped or carried?
Larry:
I am really sorry for your friend's loss. As an attorney (and thinking out loud about possible liability issues), I must ask. Was the watch being shipped to him from the seller, or was it being transported by your friend?

It was shipped by UP*
My friend meant to send it to a collector in US for evaluation but he called back the 11 lb parcel before it ever cleared the customs. It stuck in Louiseville and back-and-forth many times between the customs and the UP* broker for 2 weeks, When the origi...
I doubt UP* has liablity above the stated value
of the shipment as designated on the shipping documents unless the police find something. Furthermore, UP* specifically denies any liability for and refuses to carry jewelry including watches. Did you have third party insurance?
If allowed on the board, can you post more details...
maybe as word spreads someone will come forward with the necessary tip which can bring your watch back to you. After all people talk and it a small world for these rare Pateks.
These are posts I hate to read and wish for a quick
resolution. I'm sure you've notified everyone you're supposed to but I think I would have written correspondence from HSWA explaining the information they require to hold the watch if it comes in for service, until all is resolved. I would also have writt...
My friend would like to know ...
What is HSWA? He has already filed a police report and sent it to Patek and Patek formally acknowledged theft/loss of the item Thanks for your great info, Larry
More than an agent...

My friend already reported loss..
to Patek Philippe SA in Geneva as a theft item. Would that be sufficient, or, would he need to report to HSWA? Please advise, Thanks, Larry
