A married Beverly Hills watch dealer brought two hookers from a Midtown strip club to his swank hotel room — where they swiped a $590,000 timepiece and $6,000 in cash from him, The Post has learned.
Steven Rostovsky, 52, told cops that he was partying with the call girls at the Sapphire Gentlemen’s Club early Monday morning, sources said.
They eventually left the jiggle joint and headed to his suite at the nearby Baccarat hotel, where rooms start at $900-plus a night.
Once there, Rostovsky stashed his limited-edition Greubel Forsey Double Tourbillon 30° Technique watch and his money in the suite’s safe — but he didn’t lock it, the sources said.
He then disappeared into the bedroom with one woman, leaving her pal alone in the living room, sources said.
Rostovsky later decided to send the friend packing, and his “date” said she would escort the woman downstairs.
But she never returned, instead hopping into a BMW with the other woman and the loot.
When Rostovsky realized he’d been abandoned, he checked the safe, discovered his valuables were missing and called the NYPD.
Police got images of the women from surveillance video at the club and the hotel, and recovered DNA evidence from drinking glasses in Rostovsky’s room.
One of the women is seen in the images with long blonde hair and wearing a black jacket. The other is wearing a button-down shirt.
Rostovsky — whose firm is near Rodeo Drive — has posted on Instagram five photos of a watch that fits the description of the missing one.“Look what just arrived . . . Technique Bi-Color in Rose Gold limited to 22 pieces. I waited 9 months for this one and it was well worth it!” he wrote in fall 2014.
The Sapphire Club’s lawyer, Jeffrey Kimmel, insisted that neither of the women was a dancer or worker there.
Kimmel said the club voluntarily gave cops video that shows Rostovsky “arriving at Sapphire earlier in the evening with several women, at least one of whom is suspected of the hotel-room theft.”
“The video footage shows the gentleman later leaving Sapphire with at least one of the women,” he added.Rostovsky’s wife, Janine, was shocked when The Post stopped by the couple’s sprawling, $2.8 million ranch- style home in Bel Air and told her about the caper.
She said her hubby had told her only that his driver’s license had been stolen. During a follow-up phone conversation, she said that they had since spoken “several times” more but refused to elaborate.
Rostovsky didn’t return messages.
