A Swiss court has ruled in favor of Yoko Ono, affirming her rightful ownership of a rare Patek Philippe watch given to John Lennon shortly before his assassination. The court established that the watch, stolen by Ono’s former chauffeur following an extortion attempt, could not be legitimately owned by a collector who purchased it after its theft. A recent legal decision emphasizes that the collector’s good faith was irrelevant under German law, ensuring the watch’s return to Ono, whose turmoil surrounding its disappearance spanned decades.
