Audemars Piguet Millenary White Gold Ladies Watch 15327BC.ZZ.D022CR.01

Audemars Piguet for the second year is proud to act as the presenting sponsor of the 64th Annual Tony Awards Telecast Red Carpet at Radio City Music Hall. As part of a comprehensive partnership with The Tony Awards, Audemars Piguet has initiated a philanthropic effort through the brand's "The Time to Give Foundation" to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Following the highly successful "Time to Give" celebrity watch charity auction hosted last month, the program has raised $1.3m to date.

Audemars Piguet, considered one of the world's finest watch manufacturers, continues in the spirit of giving back with the Tony Awards Wall Clock Auction. Eight solid aluminum wall clocks will appear along the red carpet as the nominees make their entrance into Radio City Music Hall. The clocks were designed by the nominees for Best Musical and Best Musical Revival (shows include Finian's Rainbow, La Cage Aux Folles, A Little Night Music, Ragtime, American Idiot, FELA!, Memphis, and Million Dollar Quartet) to represent each one of this season's musicals. The clocks are being auctioned off to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (www.broadwaycares.org), one of the nation's leading industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations.

All of the wall clocks can be viewed and bid on by the public at charitybuzz.com, the leading destination for online charity auctions June 14th through June 24th at www.charitybuzz.com/auctions/audemarspiguetclocks. Opening bids starting at $1,000.
The public is also invited to view the entire wall clock collection at Audemars Piguet's New York City flagship boutique at 65 East 57th Street from June 14th through 24th.

Kelsey Grammer, nominated for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical for La Cage Aux Folles, will wear an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore, the brand's iconic octagonal design as he presents and performs at the Tony Awards.

Two additional clocks will also be up for auction. The "Green Clock" designed by members of the Broadway Green Alliance, which is an industry-wide initiative that educates, motivates, and inspires the theater community and its patrons to adopt environmentally friendlier practices in theatre production and everyday life.
