The partnership between Audemars Piguet and the Salone del Mobile.Milano, of which the Maison will be Official Time in its 58th edition, is reconfirmed. Following last year's debut, Audemars Piguet thus continues to keep time at the Salone del Mobile, which from 9 to 14 April 2019 will represent the "place to be" for design enthusiasts from around the world. This stage combines business and culture, technology and craftsmanship, in an offer that draws on the creativity of the best companies in the sector that invest in innovation every year, without forgetting the centrality of savoir-faire. Covering a net area of over 205,000 square metres, more than 2,350 exhibitors confirm the profound cultural value of the Salone del Mobile as an international crossroads for professionals and a not-to-be-missed appointment for design lovers who, on average, come to Milan from over 165 countries every year. Audemars Piguet will welcome visitors at the main entrances to the Fair and will be present with an exclusive selection of Haute Horlogerie pieces in the Red Lounge designed by the famous Italian architect and designer Piero Lissoni. This year, the star of the exhibition will be the new Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet collection, presented to the public for the first time at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) in Geneva last January. An evolution of a timepiece with classic lines, this collection gives a contemporary twist to the watch with its round case, continuing the long history of the Manufacture that has always experimented with the language of unconventional form and design. The Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet thus succeeds in perfectly embodying the brand's genetic code, remaining faithful to its origins but challenging traditional watchmaking to achieve unique levels of technical and aesthetic complexity. Andrea Cardillo, Country Manager Audemars Piguet Italia, comments on the renewed partnership with the Salone del Mobile with these words: "We are honoured to be Official Time of the Salone del Mobile in Milan also for the 2019 edition. In the DNA of the Manufacture in Le Brassus, design has always been a fundamental component, and this new collection bears witness to that: a perfect synthesis of innovation, ingenuity and a tradition spanning over 140 years".
