Rolex at the Bombay Sapphire Distillery
This November we had the honour of welcoming our guests for an exclusive night to preview the fantastic Rolex Baselworld 2016 collection at a very special location!
Our evening was held in the very special surroundings of the Bombay Sapphire Distillery. Not only did the gin cocktails flow but with champagne, canapes and an incredible seafood and sweetie bar supplied by the wonderful Pesto, our guests enjoyed the chance to get up close and personal with the latest releases from the world’s best known watch brand, with many pieces unlikely to appear on general sale.
The standout hit had to be the new steel Daytona, with a queue practically forming of people so keen to try it on. It was the talk of Basel this year and certainly the talk of the night! The new Everose Yacht-Master 40 and the redesigned Air-King also proved hugely popular.
Many guests also took a tour of the beautiful Glasshouses and Botanical Dry Rooms which were especially lit a prestigious Rolex green for the night. During the tour the guests learnt all about distinctive elements that make up the Bombay Sapphire gin and what makes it quite so special.
We would like to say a huge thanks to all our guests for joining us for such a memorable night at the Bombay Sapphire Distillery and a very special thanks to Paul Young for attending. It was a fantastic evening and we hope you can agree that the beautiful surroundings certainly did justice to this breath-taking collection.
