The Swiss court ruled that a stolen Patek Philippe watch given to John Lennon by Yoko Ono must be returned to Ono, asserting her ownership rights.
The watch inscribed with a personal message from Yoko Ono to John Lennon was a gift for his 40th birthday, just two months before his tragic death.
The years-long legal battle involved multiple changes of ownership after its theft by Ono's chauffeur, illustrating the complexities of stolen property rights.
Ono learned of the watch's theft only in 2014 when a value appraisal prompted by the current owner revealed its stolen status.
