He passed away? How sad. He had a very distinguished career. I didn't see any news nor announcement yet. This is the first I've heard of this. What a surprise.
It is a shockwave and a profound sense of emotion that are sweeping through the world of high watchmaking today. We owe you a lot, merci Monsieur Stern!
The world and Patek Philippe is a much more sad place today. RIP sir you will always be remembered for all your great achievements and making Patek Philippe what it is today. ππ. M.
