Patek Philippe for sale?

[korneevy]

Somewhere in a quiet mansion in Cologny, 5 mins drive from Rue du Rhone, 41 in Geneva, Thierry and Sandrine Stern are having a chuckle reading this, including a detailed discussion on their divorce, Swiss civil law and provisions to be put in place so an adequately cashed up Private Equity can be engaged to buy out her share of the business. That's probably a highlight of their week if you'd think of it.

Bezo’s case is different because she and Jeff started the business.

And finally APAP was referring to my post, where I have a friend who is worth around 500M but only had to pay 3M for the divorce. She married into money, so in Taiwan she isn’t entitled to much. That’s why APAP said she got the short end of the stick.

Ahh - missed that context - thanks - and true and TS came from money, so if he entered into marriage without some protections - this would be an interesting way for Patek's long history to end as a true independent. Granted a sale to PE would allow that to continue.
