The Richard Mille 027 tourbillon that disappeared from Rafael Nadal’s five-star luxury hotel room in Paris was found yesterday, and Police say it was stolen by the hotel’s barman.
Police say the alleged theif used his hotel access badge, which they were able to track, to get into Nadal’s suite as the tennis champion slept. The barman hid the $376,000 watch in the train tracks near his home in Essonne, France.
Nadal lost the watch last Tuesday, a day after winning his seventh French Open title. It was lent to him by Richard Mille.
