Audemars Piguet, Maître de l'horlogerie since 1875, was delighted to participate in a glittering gala dinner hosted by H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco. The event was organised by the general consulate of Monaco to raise money for the “Mission Enfance”, the charitable foundation dedicated to erase illiteracy in children worldwide. Audemars Piguet is also well known for its charitable associations, as since 1992 the Manufacture created the non-profit Audemars Piguet Foundation.

An exclusive collection of international guests descended on Dartmouth House, Mayfair on May 7th to enjoy a lavish dinner and a hilarious after dinner entertainment by film and television personalities, politicians and a variety of celebrities in the guise of the master of impersonation, Mr Rory Bremner.

This was followed by a light hearted quiz, which was fiercely contested as each guest at the winning table won an Audemars Piguet table clock.

Many thousands of pounds were raised by this small group of generous guests for Mission Enfance, www.mission.enfance.org, an organisation that has existed for nearly 20 years and is dedicated to raising money for children worldwide who are deprived of education. As Patron, H.S.H Prince Albert has always been incredibly supportive of their actions.

The guests at Dartmouth House included H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, H.R.H. Countess of Wessex, Viscount and Viscountess David Linley, H.R.H. Prince Serge de Yougoslavie, S.E.M. Bernard Fautrier, Lady Tina Green, Mr. and Mrs. Sol Kerzner, Mr. Arpad A.Busson.
