It is with great honor and pleasure that we announce the participation of Swiss Watch
Manufacturer Frédérique Constant in the “ONLY WATCH 09” Charity Auction, held in Monte-Carlo
on Thursday, September 24th, 2009, under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco.
Watch aficionados and representatives of the world’s most prestigious watch manufacturers gather
to witness the third edition of this exceptional auction. All participating brands contributed to raise
funds for research on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a serious genetic disease that affects one out
of 3500 boys born, by donating a unique wristwatch for the event. This Charity Auction afforded to
raise € 1,9 M in 2005 and € 2,7 M in 2007.
The 2009 Frédérique Constant’s contributing lot will be as unique and engaged as this Charity
Auction: The Heart Beat Trilogy, for the first time assembled in a common luxurious jewel box, which
includes a choice of different bracelet. This very feminine Heart Beat Trilogy intended for a very
special woman, designed by women for women.
