Formula 1 rising star Sébastien Buemi is also the new ambassador Audemars Piguet. The agreement between Buemi, who signed his first contract as a Formula 1 driver with the Toro Rosso team, and the Swiss Maison was signed on 27th February in Lausanne. On that occasion, Philippe Merk, CEO of the House commented: "Being partnered by a young man with such an instinctive temperament was an absolutely natural thing for Audemars Piguet. Sébastien perfectly embodies the values of our brand in the tradition of a family deeply rooted in the world of motor racing, in the excellence of his sporting career and in the audacity he has shown in achieving the highest goals in his discipline". On the driver's wrist is the Royal Oak Offshore, the brand's iconic watch.
