    A pair of gun-toting, moped-riding robbers stole a man’s $100,000 watch outside Manhattan hotspot Carbone Tuesday night, according to police and sources.

    The duo walked up to the 39-year-old victim outside the Greenwich Village restaurant at around 8:45 p.m. and pressed a black firearm to his chest while demanding the Patek Philippe watch off his wrist, police and law enforcement sources said.

    The thieves took the pricey jewelry and hopped on a moped, which they drove north on Thompson Street, sources said.

    It’s unclear if the victim, who was not injured, was a customer at the high-end Italian eatery that’s notoriously hard to snag a table at and frequently patronized by celebrities.

    Carbone’s employees refused to comment on the stick-up and the Thompson Street restaurant’s management company, Major Food Group, didn’t immediately respond to an email.

    Meanwhile, diners at the famed establishment and nearby residents seemed unfazed by the gun-point robbery.

    “That’s New York for you. You gotta watch your watch,” one of three men leaving Carbone joked.

    There have been no arrests and the investigation is ongoing.
