Audemars Piguet Beverly Hills Boutique Opening Party - Winter Wonderland on Rodeo Drive

 

Last night, Audemars Piguet celebrated the official opening of its new Beverly Hills Boutique on 254 Rodeo Drive which is a partnership with Greg & John Simonian's Westime.  This exact location used to be Westime's Beverly Hills store. 

Theme of the night is "Winter Wonderland" where AP brings a part of Le Brassus Hills to Rodeo Drive.  Faux snow lined the famous cobble stone pathway on mini Rodeo Drive, and the entire street was blocked off for this event.  Various food & drink stations lined the pathway, ranging from cheese broccolini to a tasty orange juice vodka concoction. 

Jammed packed with celebrities and VIPs, this grand opening celebration surely packed a punch with tons of GQ & Vogue attired-approved individuals.  Everyone was well dressed and in cocktail attire.

I was starving after a 2 hour 15 minute commute to get here, so nibbled on the first hors devours passed around by model serving staff dressed in all winter white.

Champagne was free flowing and after taking a stroll through the new AP Boutique, I headed out towards the Red Carpet photo station with AP backdrop.  Here's Olivia Palermo and husband model Johannes Huebl with AP Global CEO Francois-Henry Bennahmias.

Next was TV host James Corden.

Followed by actress Jo Champa.

Here's actor Slyvester Stallone with AP Brand Ambassador & actress Freida Pinto.

And here's a group shot from left to right - Westime's Greg Simonian, AP Global CEO Francois-Henry Bennahmias, Freido Pinto, Slyvester Stallone, and AP North America CEO Xavier Nolot.

Below in the middle is Corey Gamble who is now dating Kris Jenner.

And now AP Brand Ambassador and tennis superstar Serena Williams arrives on the Red Carpet.

And below is one of my all-time favorite actors - Golden Globe winner & Oscar nominee Don Cheadle. 

And below is the lovely model Alessandra Ambrosio.

Next is professional boxer Miguel Cotto who was sporting a beautiful rose gold Royal Oak. 

Various other celebrities such as actor Joel McHale, actor Jeremy Piven, musician John Mayer, and rapper Won-G Bruny arrive but I didn't take any more photos.

At around 8:45pm, we have the inaugural ribbon cutting ceremony with Greg Simonion, Xavier Nolot, Francois-Henry Bennahmias, Serena Williams, and Freida Pinto.  The pathway was jammed packed with guests!

After the ceremony was over, I grabbed a couple more hors devours from the beautiful staff working that night.

And what's an AP event without a watch assembly booth?  Here's Gary Cruz, AP's Technical Trainer for both North and South Americas, working on an AP movement.

Thanks for taking the time to read my report, and a big thanks to Audemars Piguet for a great event.  Wishing AP & Westime the best of luck and success with the new Boutique!

Cheers,
Anthony

PS.  Below is my cheesy animated gif of me wearing my AP Offshore from the AP Winter Wonderland photo booth    AP gave guests the cream cashmere scarf I'm wearing in the picture.
