Selassie's descendents claim that a $1 million Patek Phillipe watch was stolen from him. Once the order is lifted, Selassie’s family will have 30 days to appeal the decision. Selassie’s family say that “eminent African personality” is Ibrahim Abboud, former president of Sudan, and his family put the watch up for sale with Christie’s. At a series of sales over the weekend in Geneva, Phillips, another auction house, said it raised $33 million, selling six timepieces for over $1 million each and a limited edition Rolex for $2.45 million. Nonsense, say Selassie’s descendants.
