The new monobrand boutique, located in the famed Beverly Hills shopping arcade Two Rodeo, served as a fantastic location to not only celebrate Audemars Piguet’s Swiss roots, but their new home in the heart of LA. A bold neon sign reading “Welcome to Le Brassus Hills” and reminiscent of the famed Beverly Hills sign hung overhead as guests made their way into the party. After the ceremonial ribbon cutting by Xavier Nolot, Frieda Pinto, Greg Simonian, Serena Williams and CEO Francois-Henry Bennahmias, the façade of the boutique was illuminated in white lights followed by a snowfall of white confetti.

The party featured a number of playful Swiss touches, including food and drink like traditional raclette presented by servers dressed in cream, white and grey ski resort attire. The Swiss motif was also represented in the décor, which included a fire pit and cabins housing the DJ, watchmaker and food stations. Also present was an interactive photo station with light snowfall.
