The luxury that is time
A gathering of distinguished names from the metro’s elite circles took place at the Hyve Bar in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig for the unveiling of luxury Swiss watchmaker Audemars Piguet’s latest masterpieces.
The guests were introduced to the six new iterations of the Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 42mm, each boasting of a more technical, sculpted aesthetic and remains faithful to the company’s ongoing commitment to technical progress.
Graciously welcoming guests to this stunning affair were Audemars Piguet managing director for Asia Pacific Oliviero Bottinelli along with Lucerne president Ivan Yao and managing director Emerson Yao. Meanwhile, everyone was transported back in time as a number of retrospective watches of the Royal Oak Offshore since its inception in 1993 were also on display that evening.
Congratulations to Audemars Piguet and Lucerne for this successful event!
