珠宝腕表商公开坦承贩售仿冒 Patek Philippe 表款给 Lil Baby

早先才报导过 Lil Baby 花费 $400,000 美元购买 Patek Philippe Nautilus 限量表款经确认为仿表的消息，而今回卖出此表的珠宝腕表商 Rafaello and Co. 便透过 XXL Magazine 发布了一则声明，其中提到当他们从经销商收购腕表时，未仔细确认真伪就转而贩售给消费者，清楚坦承自身的疏失，除了完全退还该 $40 万美元之外，还另外赠予了 Lil Baby 4 枚戒指作为补偿，并一再强调 Rafaello and Co. 相当注重信誉与诚信。

“We do stand on our name just like he does that’s why today he got those four rings for free and his money back because we didn’t do our homework on the watch and we take full responsibility for that. But it didn’t happen intentionally and he knows that for a fact. Everyone that knows me knows that I don’t play games when it comes to my brand and especially my client’s brands.

I personally want to apologize to @lilbaby for not doing my due diligence when selling him the Patek watch. I should have inspected the watch after purchasing it from the dealer. I take full responsibility for not doing my job properly. I personally would NEVER knowingly sell him or anyone else anything that is not 100% authentic. I have known @libaby for a while and there is nothing fake about him – especially his jewelry and watches. I want to personally apologize to Lil Baby for what has transpired. Rafaello & Co. took immediate action to rectify this. We worked directly with Lil Baby to refunded him in full and have gifted him rings as a token of our sincere apologies.

We pride ourselves in being an honest business and will take great care to make sure nothing like this ever happens again. To all of our customers thank you for your business over the years and we look forward to continuing to provide the best jewelry and watches in the industry.”

事实上，Rafaello and Co. 是具有足够名气的珠宝腕表商，刻意贩售仿冒品的低劣行径确实不大可能发生，然而发生这般疏失依旧会对其名声造成严重影响，毕竟对负担的起这般奢侈品的客户来说，选择自然也多，各位不妨还是将此事件留作未来购物的警惕。
