In a dazzling display of horological innovation, Swiss luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet has unveiled its latest masterpiece: the 43 mm Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT Large Date. This groundbreaking timepiece, featuring a pioneering colored forged carbon material, made its global debut at an exclusive event in Singapore's iconic Marina Bay.

A Night of Prestige and Innovation

The launch event, held at the trendy Monti venue, drew 150 distinguished guests, including Audemars Piguet's elite:

  • Oliviero Bottinelli, Board of Directors member

  • Olivia Crouan, Chief Brand Officer

  • Stefanie Ng, CEO of Southeast Asia

An Immersive Experience

Guests were treated to a futuristic journey through the Royal Oak Concept collection's evolution, from its 2002 inception to recent marvels like the Royal Oak Concept Laptimer (2015) and the Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon "Spider-Man" (2023).

The event's highlight was a cryptic wall installation, paying homage to the new timepiece's glow-in-the-dark fibers. As hidden UV messages gradually unveiled the watch's intricate details, the atmosphere buzzed with anticipation before the grand reveal.

Over 150 guests, including American singer-songwriter Eric Nam, Thai actor Tawan, Olympic judoka Teddy Riner, and influencer Georges Maroun Kikano partied late into the night.
