A Russian vodka billionaire, who vacated his $400 million superyacht on a moment’s notice when Saudi Crown Prince MBS bought it on the spot, once sued the shipyard that built the vessel because they constructed a similar-looking yacht for another billionaire.

Imagine dropping an ultra-expensive luxury timepiece in the sea. The odds of retrieving the watch would be next to nothing; after all, the search would be like finding a needle in a haystack. However, a lucky Patek Philippe owner was reunited with his prized possession a year later after it slipped off his wrist while he was jumping off a boat into the sea. A hobby diver named Giorgio tracked down the watch using a metal detector and his diving skills. The incident took place in the summer of 2023 when a traveler lost his Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time while he was swimming off the Spanish coast at Mallorca.

Ace diver finds an $80,000 Patek Philippe watch lost a year ago in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea. The timepiece was covered in coral and has been returned to its owner, who is hopeful that it may start ticking again.
