Tænker at dette interview med Stern fra start februar lukker salgs rygterne ned.
“Only Patek and Audemars Piguet have resisted the poisoned charms of the conglomerate takeover (most major watch brands find themselves either within the Swatch or Richemont groups). Stern says he used to get takeover offers regularly, but suitors seem to have got the message now: “Every year before Basel, we get one or two phone calls, a lawyer sometimes. And we say no. I used to say, ‘You can even propose me two billion’ or something, and now I have to raise it a little bit.”
“A sale, he believes, “would be a catastrophe for Patek” and probably for its purchasers. “They would be buying an empty shell. All the key people, I don’t think they would stay. If you’re (part of a) group, when you get a new CEO they are changing the strategy.”
