Audemars Piguet announced its new partnership with the American Patrons of Tate (APT) at the Raleigh Hotel during the Art Basel Miami Beach.
The new Director of Tate Modern, Chris Dercon, was the special guest of the evening where Philippe Mark, CEO of Audemars Piguet, the world's oldest watch manufacturer still in the hands of its founding families, is delighted to announce an important new partnership with the American Patrons of Tate (APT), the independent charity that supports the Tate Galleries in the United Kingdom.
This partnership establishes Audemars Piguet's position in the art world and offers both parties widespread opportunities to reach broader audiences including the international network of donors and VIPs of the American Patrons of Tate. Audemars Piguet will also have the opportunity to work with APT to incorporate art pieces from the Tate's vast collection as well as provide access to curators for events.
The event has coincided with the launch of Audemars Piguet new Millenary 4101, which we have featured earlier this month, a piece of art in itself presented at one of the biggest are firs in the United States.

Audemars Piguet Openworked Extra-Thin Royal Oak Limited Edition Watch
40th Anniversary of Legendary Model
As a pre-SIHH 2012 exclusive, Audemars Piaget is presenting a Limited Edition of only 40 pieces for the 40th anniversary of the legendary model Openworked Extra-Thin Royal Oak first presented in 1972.
The Roal Oak, created by the late Gerald Genta, a designer of consummate importance to the industry as also from his sketchpad came Patek’s Nautilus, Omega’s Constellation and Seamaster models and the IWC Ingenieur, took its name and design inspiration from the British Royal Navy’s Royal Oak war ships and its porthole-shaped bezel with eight hexagonal screws became an instantly recognisable characteristic of the piece.
This 2012 Limited Edition Openworked Extra-Thin Royal Oak reinterprets the original codes and values of the collection, the better to transcend them. The 39 mm diameter of this Openworked Extra-Thin Royal Oak is identical to that of the 1972 Royal Oak. Considered outsized and extravagant at the time of its launch, it shaped the trend for larger watches and now represents a medium-sized diameter.

Diameter: 39 mm
Movement: Selfwinding Manufacture Calibre 5122, 36 jewels

Audemars Piguet to battle climate change with Patagonia Sur
Corporate Conservation Circle (C3) of Patagonia Sur
Audemars Piguet has joined forces with Corporate Conservation Circle (C3) of Patagonia Sur, an innovative business model dedicated in the battle against climate change, improving biodiversity and replenishing the forests of Patagonia.
Audemars Piguet created the Audemars Piguet Foundation with a goal in nature conservation and raising awareness in youth twenty years ago. With its new partnership, Audemars will add fourteen acres to the already 600 acres of Patagonia conservation. To launch the partnership, during the new edition of Salon Internacional de Alta Relojeria, Audemars will offset carbon emissions by creating a green friendly suite as well as planting three trees per visitor.
“Patagonia Sur embodies Audemars Piguet’s values of authenticity and innovation, as well as our longstanding support of environmental conservation and education projects around the world. We are honored to be a founding Corporate Conservation Circle member of this spectacular venture.” - commented Francois-Henry Bennahmias President & CEO Audemars Piguet North America Inc.
To launch the partnership, during the current edition of the Salón Internacional de Alta Relojería , Audemars Piguet will offset the carbon emissions generated by the presence and production of their green-friendly suite as well as plant three trees per visitor. To further Audemars Piguet's commitment to environmental conservation, the carbon emissions generated by the New York and Bal Harbour Boutiques will be offset as well for the duration of the partnership. In doing so, Audemars Piguet and Patagonia Sur are partnering to raise awareness of climate change and environmental issues with a much broader audience.
