Masked thieves steal “priceless” jewels from the Louvre’s Apollo Gallery in a daring daylight robbery, forcing the museum’s sudden closure Sunday.
From the theft of the Mona Lisa in 1911 to the French Crown Jewels heist this past weekend, the Parisian musuem has seen some audacious crimes over the decades.
La Quête du Temps is only on loan to the Louvre and eventually will be added to the Vacheron Constantin archive, but the brand has introduced a 43-millimeter, double-sided wristwatch, called the Métiers d’Art “Tribute to the Quest of Time,” in a limited edition of 20 (price on application).
France's Culture Minister Rachida Dati said a theft took place at the Louvre in Paris, which also hosts the famous painting, Mona Lisa, by Leonardo da Vinci.
