AUDEMARS PIGUET PRESENTS THE NEW MILLENARY QUEEN ELIZABETH II CUP 2013 IN LIMITED EDITION SO ONLY 100 HUMANS WILL BE ABLE TO WEAR THIS.
Only 100 watches are made at RM 270,000 each or you can buy all 100 for RM 27 million! And be the only one to own the entire Limited Edition for the ultimate bragging rights!
But technically 1 person can end up buying all 100 watches so only 1 person can wear the Millenary QEII Cup 2013 watch! How cool is that?
To commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Queen Elizabeth II
(AP QEII) Cup in Hong Kong, the world renowned Swiss watch manufacturer Audemars Piguet
will be launching a 100-piece Millenary limited edition in April. A masterpiece incorporating
impeccable craftsmanship and contemporary design, the Millenary is the perfect timepiece to
mark an important event in the social equestrian calendar for watch connoisseurs and
enthusiasts alike.
Founded 138 years ago in Le Brassus, Audemars Piguet is devoted to producing high-end
movements and timepieces with exclusivity, passion and respect – the core values that the
brand always treasures.
Audemars Piguet became the title sponsor of the prestigious Queen Elizabeth II Cup in 1999, an
event that has constantly attracted top-tier jockeys, horse owners and trainers from around the
world. As the annual highlight of the international equestrian circle, the Audemars Piguet Queen
Elizabeth II Cup proudly celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2013. Sharing the same values and
visions, Audemars Piguet and the Hong Kong Jockey Club will once again present a highly-
anticipated horse racing event.
The Audemars Piguet Millenary QEII Cup 2013 Limited Edition features the collection’s
distinctive oval-shaped case. The 18-carat white gold case and buckle are embellished with
339 brilliant-cut diamonds, while the dial is set with 139 brilliant-cut diamonds, all of which are
of IF (Internally Flawless) clarity. The silvered guilloché gold dial with printed Arabic numerals is
accentuated by a diamond-paved off-centered disc with Roman numerals. Accompanied by
blackened steel hands and a hand-stitched black crocodile leather strap, the Audemars Piguet
Millenary QEII Cup 2013 Limited Edition is the foremost representation of opulence, exclusivity
and elegance.
In honour of the 15 years of sponsorship, Audemars Piguet has planned a series of activities to
unfold in April for this important milestone: on April 11, the Selections Announcement of the
Audemars Piguet Queen Elizabeth II Cup will be held to announce the 14 runners. It will be
followed by the Barrier Draw that will take place on April 25, where the horse representatives will
draw their stall number. Then on April 26, Audemars Piguet will host a gala party in partnership
with the Hong Kong Jockey Club, which promises to be a memorable gala event with horse
owners, jockeys, celebrities and distinguished guests. Last but not least, the much awaited
Queen Elizabeth II Cup race will take place on April 28 at the Sha Tin Racecourse.
