Hunting For John Lennon's Patek Philippe With Writer Jay Fielden | House of Craft

We're back with another fascinating chat from the UBS House of Craft as writer, editor, and journalist Jay Fielden takes to the stage with Tony Traina to talk about the many chapters of the hunt to find John Lennon's Patek 2499. From a photo taken by a famous rock photographer shortly before Lennon's death to the journey, this watch has taken since Yoko Ono bought the watch at Tiffany's back in 1980.

It's a wild ride, with ties to Warhol and a cast of sometimes shadowy characters that all play small roles in the story of this contested Patek Philippe. We're talking extortion, arrests, an empty safe, bankruptcy, secret diaries, unsharable photos, and so much more.
