Piguet congratulates Novak Djokovic
In the early morning hours on Monday, Audemars Piguet brand ambassador Novak Djokovic won the Australian Open against Rafael Nadal in the longest Grand Slam singles final ever.
During an epic match that lasted five sets and nearly six hours, Djokovic overcame a break in the last set to win his fifth Grand Slam tournament and third in a row. Both players pushed themselves to the very limits of human exhaustion in front of 15,000 spectators in the stands and millions of TV viewers.
With this victory Djokovic has consolidated his position as the number one tennis player in the world. All eyes will now turn to Roland Garros where, as the title-holder of Wimbledon, the US Open and the Australian Open, Djokovic could become the first tennis player to win four Grand Slams on four different surfaces in a row.
Audemars Piguet congratulates Novak Djokovic on this great victory and wishes him good luck for the rest of the 2012 season.

The Royal Oak Quartz 33 mm watch

Representing a return to roots, meaning to the pure aesthetic of the collection, Audemars Piguet is launching a dainty 33mm-diameter-model to be added to its classic Royal Oak collection.
The subtle interplay of alternating satin-brushed and polished surfaces characterising the first Royal Oak watches accentuate the clear-cut lines of this 33 mm model; while the eight hexagonal screws on the octagonal bezel are in white gold, just as they were on the original watch in 1972.
The silver-toned dial of this Royal Oak bears a “Grande Tapisserie” pattern that now becomes a signature for all Royal Oak Selfwinding and Quartz models. This motif is crafted by Audemars Piguet using historical machines according to the ramolayé or pounced ornament technique.
