To commemorate the 14th anniversary of the Audemars Piguet Queen Elizabeth II (AP QEII) Cup in Hong Kong, a 100-piece limited edition of the Tradition collection was launched recently. This classical timepiece that represents exceptional quality and timeless design is a perfect collection timepiece for watch connoisseurs and enthusiasts. Founded 137 years ago, Audemars Piguet is focused on producing only high-end movements and timepieces. Its brand values are in strong synergy with the partnership of the Hong Kong Jockey Club for the sponsorship of the AP QEII Cup race since 1999. The same values of exclusivity, passion and respect are represented in this race, being the highlight of the year for the equestrian circle, with its long standing history and at the same time constantly attracting the best jockeys, horses and trainers. Inspired by a historic 1923 cushion-shaped pocket watch, the Audemars Piguet Queen Elizabeth II Cup 2012 wristwatch carries the distinctive cushion-shaped case. The 18-carat pink gold case together with the white lacquered dial and pink gold applied Arabic numerals and hands, give an elegant and clean look to the dial. The Queen Elizabeth II Cup was established in 1975 to commemorate a visit to Hong Kong by Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip. The race continued to run annually in the spring and evolved to an international event in 1995, with Hong Kong horses competing against those from all over the world. Renowned Swiss watchmaker, Audemars Piguet, continuously sponsored this prestigious international race since 1999 making its partnership synonymous with one of the most important competitions enthralling racing enthusiasts in the horse-racing world. It is now an International Group 1 race and stands prominent in the racing firmament currently offering a purse of HK$14 million.
