Charles Leclerc spotted in his Ferrari on the night his $320k watch was stolen

Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc was mugged in Viareggio on April 18, 2022. At around 10 PM, Leclerc stopped to take pictures with a group of fans, when two individuals snatched his watch from his wrist.

As you would imagine, this was no ordinary timepiece. Leclerc reportedly had a Richard Mille 67-02 on his wrist at the time, a watch valued at $320,000.
