A man was robbed of his watch worth thousands of dollars by a woman he had just met and brought back to his Manhattan apartment, police say.
The two met Il Mulino Prime on West Broadway where the man invited her back to his place, according to the NYPD.
When they arrived, the man took off his watch, which was worth $37,000, police say, and fell asleep. When he woke up, he realized his watch and the woman were gone, officials said.
Police said they don't have any reason to believe he was drugged.
Authorities say the suspect they are looking for is her in 20s.

The case is similar to a string of recent robberies in Manhattan in which two women preyed on men by meeting them at high-end bars, going back to their hotel rooms and robbing them of their watches once they fell asleep. Police couldn't confirm if the men were drugged, but they all reported feeling dizzy and blacking out in their rooms after taking the women back.
Those string of crimes happened just days apart back in August.
Police say it is unclear if the two cases are connected.
