Maybe one of the Djokovic clan got the watch. 
 
Anyways Nadal can get more of those.

It was stolen from his hotel not from someone in his box during the celebration.

FAIL @ the dude who posted this and his conspiracy.

the only thing I really wonder is, what so special about that watch ... 375K, that's just in sane. why would anybody spend that kind of money for a stupid watch, just beyond me. you have a cell phone, and you can see time it is... or, you can get a pretty good quality watch for around $100 or so. OK, watch specialists please teach me  .

OK, just saying ...

'Hotel barman stole Nadal's watch'


PARIS police have recovered a 300,000 euro ($377,000) watch stolen from Rafael Nadal and arrested a hotel employee over the theft.

The source said police tracked down the presumed thief, a hotel barman, on Tuesday after tracing his hotel access badge, which was used to access the room in which Nadal stayed with his parents during the French Open.

He confessed to having entered Nadal's room and taken the luxury watch, and brought police to the spot where he had hidden it along a railway track near his home in the Essonne area south of Paris, a police source said.

French media reported that luxury watchmaker Richard Mille had lent Nadal the watch for the French Open, which the Spanish tennis sensation won for a record seventh time on Monday, beating Serbia's Novak Djokovic

I believe it's called 'the bling factor'.
Only important to impressarios and their adoring disciples.

btw good updates from ashwin on the recovery of the watch.......

It was obviously a joke. Nobody right in that moment (on the photo) would try to pull of a theft, especially considering they are part of his team and relatives.
