Chief Executive Officer, Audemars Piguet

To mark the 150th anniversary of Audemars Piguet, RAYE and Mark Ronson embarked on a collaborative journey that culminated in the creation and release of an original track.

Titled “Suzanne,” the track celebrates heritage and family spirit, blending the sounds of musical instruments with digital technology to create a groovy melody, beautifully enhanced by RAYE’s stunning vocals.

 

Spontaneously titled "Suzanne" by RAYE, the name carries a particular resonance for Mark, and also for Audemars Piguet, echoing Suzanne Audemars, a direct ancestor of the Audemars and Piguet families whose story remained unknown until earlier this year.       

Audemars Piguet is delighted to welcome RAYE as the newest friend of the brand – a classically trained musician known for her ability to blend traditional and progressive musical influences. Winning a record-breaking six Brit Awards in 2024, including Best Artist, Album, and Song, RAYE made history by becoming the most decorated artist at a single ceremony. Amongst the UK’s top songwriters and one of world’s most streamed artists, she is the first woman ever to win Songwriter of the Year, cementing her status as a true icon in the music industry.

In addition to her genre-defying approach and artistic versatility, RAYE shares Audemars Piguet’s deep sense of family spirit, multicultural outlook, and dedication to craft

Making music is about going beyond the ordinary to honour the greats who came before us, creating a lasting legacy defined by passion and dedication. I find inspiration from the incredible people I meet and hearing their stories. Bringing ‘Suzanne’ to life with Mark Ronson for APxMusic has been an amazing, collaborative experience. When I heard about the song’s underlying connection with the brand’s story, my jaw dropped to the floor!
